The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Gala and a give-a-way

Thanks for joining us today. We will start with another sweet and continuing story of Carol and Elizabeth and their many adventures.... ( not a single witch was harmed during the filming of this story)

One bright sunny day, "Carol of the East" and "Elizabeth of the West" were having a very cozy chat in the meadow. They were sipping on their "Emerald-itas" and sponge cakes. YUM!


When suddenly they heard a small cry of despair and a little girl came running into the meadow asking for help. She said her name was Dorothy and she had lost her inspiration for ART. She could not seem to paint, draw, or sew a single thing that truly made her happy. She had heard on one of her many art blogs, that the Wonderful Wizard of Oz would be able to give her the creativity she so desired. She asked our help in finding the elusive Wizard.


We took Dorothy in hand and we all started down the yellow brick road to find Emerald City, the Wizard and hopefully Dorothy's lost creativity.

Soon we spotted Emerald City and there he was!



This Wizard was a real "Cutey." Oh, my, our hearts began to beat just a little faster.

He gave us an audience and Dorothy asked for his help. He told her that everything she needed was "inside" her. If she would just close her eyes, click her heels together, and feel the creativity flow through her fingers. Ideas would form, colors would blend, and glitter would cover everything.

Dorothy was now ready to go home and make art. "Carol of the East" had crocheted a beautiful blue magic carpet. We took Dorothy home on it. It felt just like a roller coaster so we all raised our hands and flew though the sky.
The END

Here is the VCR tape I have had since the 80s - Love this movie!!

And now for our give-a-way.

Carol has hand sewn a lovely tag full of embroidery and beading.
