I bet there are a lot more than a 1000 likes on that cheese ball post.

Ah - these imaginary dead relatives!

Having said - I read in ASK POLLY about a Carrot Man who may indeed be real.

For so long in the person's conscious mind the person who saw the Carrot Man in the bathroom thought the Carrot Man was imaginary.

What is your least favourite use of glitter?

Let's put it this way, Caroline is getting her 2nd adopted dog!

Seraphina is cracking me up - she's deadpan when she tells people about her Great Aunt Mary's sad demise but that she's inherited a sizeable trust fund...I'm enjoying her expansive vocab in this story telling escapade.

I'll look up about Heather's ASK POLLY Carrot Man. I'm a fan of the format ;)

I'm not a fan of those little tubes of glitter my kids have accidents with during craft sessions. I find glitter in places glitter should never find itself in. Glitter in paint? That intrigues me and I'll upcycle a piece of furniture with this. How about you? What's your stance on glitter?

The tubes were the way I was introduced to glitter through the Oodles world.

The last time I actually used glitter was when I was making Christmas decorations with polymer clay or plasticine.

I found it a particularly glimmery way to add some bling.

On the other hand - glitter goes into the sea and into the stormwater - and as such is a forever chemical.

At least it is not as bad as stepping on Legos or even in the gyprock which is part of so many gymnastic sports - when it goes beyond one's hands and one's feet.

Seraphina might well have picked up about "annuity".

And glitter probably comes better in canisters

or glue, one finger at a time.

On reflection - the whole glue-in-fingers trick.

Carrot Man came from "Old Stories" - and that dialogue was effectively in two parts.

It was most probably the most popular Old Story.

And when is an accident an accident and when does it become an incident?

There are these particular elements which make glitter and paint soluble.

Must tell you I'd not thought about the eco impact of glitter in those tubes - argh the chemicals. I'm telling myself off for getting to that late.

You made my morning with your thoughts.

ps. daren't tell you where I thought you were going when you combined gymnastic sports and glitter...please comment more often!
