MINE!!!!!
My good buddy Kristy made me this amazing piece: a smoking possum!!!!! I am in love with him, just as I am with all of Kristy's work!! But my very own possum, with a ciggie yet...I can't stand it already!!! Check him out:
HEY!! Isn't it proper blog etiquette to ask permission first before swiping pics? LOL Kiva I'm so happy you like it! He actually went out today - heading towards sunny Hawaii! Just a little good karma back at ya.
Ooh, Kiva, I like that name! It will be an exclusive club that requires a Kristy Taylor made (Ha Ha, tailor made, get it?) possum to join. I guess that means Kristy can't join unless she makes herself a possum!
I nominate myself for President. Would you like to be the Vice?
Kiva, you e-mailed me and asked permission first, remember? This was back last year sometime, and I remember thinking....hmmm, who is this person, oh yeah, this is "tobacco9" from Flickr! She makes those cute mice!
Hey Ira, you and me both, sister ;-)!! It is my only vice...the only one left. The day I quit is the day someone pries it from my cold, dead fingers (which, given the blackened state of my lungs, might be sooner rather than later)!
A nice Vice, with a vice, who makes mice. This is getting weird!
Yes, Kiva, I posted plant pics, but they are my regular ones. I am anxious to design something new, but I have to find a place to work in my overcrowded house. My family thinks they should have the dinner table for eating! Can you believe the audacity?
Oh, my goodness, that is absolutely wild!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! That is soooooooooooo good!!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I love him!

That possum has lots of personality, eh? Love the tiny ashtray full of butts!
ReplyDeleteAnd I knew it before you did, Kiva! I'm so excited for you to have one of Kristy's adorable possums. I think we need to form a club of possum owners.
ReplyDeletewakakak how apt! fits you to a "P"? XD
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I have always thought possums were cute!

That's great, I love it.
ReplyDeleteDoes the sign next to him say something we can't see in the photo? Just guessing. LOL
Isn't he precious??? Catherine, the little sign reads "Smoking Area"!!! I swear, her pieces make me want to play like a little kid ;-).
ReplyDeleteKristy, this isn't the first time I swiped your pics and posted them, remember?? Muahaha!!!
Carolyn, yes!! The Possum Posse!!!

ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I will be the vice (haha, how appropriate!)!! I'll have all the naughty ones!!!
ReplyDeleteKristy, that's right! Remember, I have short term memory loss, for real. I am usually not that courteous, lol!!! Usually, I just snag and post :-O.
Carolyn, where are the plants????? I want to see what you are working on!!
Oh isn't he adorable :) And I especially love the ciggie-part, hmm, as I smoke like chimney :D

Kiva, same with me :D I don't party too much, drink really seldomly so cigging is my fun thing and won't give it up :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely cute and adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Paloma
How adorable! Great miniwork and I can imagine it's a great friend!! Have fun you two!
ReplyDeleteawww too cute! Be sure tell him smoking is dangeous to his health LOL
ReplyDeleteIra, I do drink lite beer, aka piss water, nothing stronger. When I go out, I hit the tequila, but I always regret it the next day (or two).
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, gorgeous plants on your blog, girl!! I know what you mean about crowding, because I work on my laptop!!
Thanks guys!!! I am so excited to get my Kristy creation :-D!!
Adorable, me encanta el trabajo de Kristy!
ReplyDeleteFelicidades Kiva es una buena adquisición.
