This Little Piggy . . .

Can you deny this piglet's adorableness? I've got a smile on my face. And for only $25, you can sponsor an animal like this at Animal Place. You can support in other ways, too: share on your social medias, shop, or volunteer. More animals deserve to have this type of joy, don't you agree? With blessings & joy, yours truly . . .

K Is For Kites (Blogging From A To Z Challenge 2014)

Welcome to Blogging From A To Z with Pin & Tack.

Today's letter is . . .

Kites. Yes. Let's go fly a kite.

I actually haven't flown a kite since I was . . uh - yeah, a kid. Wow. It's been a long time! They are very fun and, now, I really want to play with one. Unfortunately, I don't have one. Oh, wait. Google. Yep, I can make one.

How To Make A Kite (or two or three . . .)

Did you check out the site? Oh, my, they have a lot of awesome information. You can make almost any  type of kite with all of their easy to follow instructions.

But . . you need wind. I don't have any wind today, so I'll have to try another day :( In the meantime, let's enjoy these lovely kites . . .

Do you you there are kite festivals? They are very cool and you most likely will find one near you. If you don't want to fly one, you can watch lots of people, including synchronized kite flyers!

So, are you excited to fly a bit? I hope so - Share your favorite experiences with kites. I'd enjoy hearing about them.

{PIN}spirational Challenge #12: Inspiration Photo - Charlie Brown

This week at {PIN}spirational Challenges, we were given a photo of Charlie Brown. I took inspiration in the colors, especially Charlie's shirt. I chose to do a CAS card. The polka dots, including those on the "play", are all painted by hand.
