Oz is such a great metaphor for life. At least it is for my life.
You have days like this.
You have days like this.

Within seconds you don't know where you are or how you got there.
You meet all these strange people along life's path.

Some clueless, some spineless, and some hardened by the storms of life.
As long as we stay on the correct road we will get home.
But some still search in other directions, thinking there is a quicker way.
At times were taunted by flying monkeys and strangers on brooms.
Other times we're helped along the way by goofy little people!
All the while, some of us will have already accepted and posses the most important gift of all....
Do you have your RED shoes?

The Wizard of Oz swap organized by Sherry at If I Could Set My Soul Free was to be completed on September 22nd after having all summer long to get your art together. You would think that would have been plenty of time to get a box done, but nooooo!
(Did you notice her pink lace pantaloons ?)
It just went out to the wonderful Sherry at My Mother's Daughter last Friday!
Sherry sent me a box of fun stuff along with a RED scarf!
And YES red is my favorite color and the theme of the ART CHALLENGE!
So this year at the RED Party (a benefit for kids hosted by Life Through Art Foundation) I think I'll be wearing my scarf from Sherry and my red shoes with a touch of pink lace ..........who needs more when you live in California!

I LOVE the Oz creation! Those shoes are too much (and the feminine touch, of course)!
This is so wonderful. I especially love the witches ruby slippers from underneath that gorgeous fiber art masterpiece. The Wizard of Oz, my favorite movie! Happy Friday. Karen
