I think we need to break you out of this old stuff and you should do a wild applique of Swimmy -- hum turquoise, lime green and very light green. Maybe blue borders. I can see it now. And, then you can add some of those strange tube looking things. Hey, there's an idea for your next book.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758275644964547751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-24455518594450287892011-03-25T10:43:31.481-05:002011-03-25T10:43:31.481-05:00No thank you to the frog offer.

They usually ended up at school - perhaps a solution? <br /><br />When we visited Sea World, my son was picked to be in the seal show. One kissed him. After that, his biggest insult was Seal Breath - he said it smelled like bad fish. But what a wonderful experience for him!!!<br /><br />Your pictures are wonderful. That's hard with the limited lighting in some of the aquariums.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685952017183050898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-56053785492552634552011-03-25T08:38:08.623-05:002011-03-25T08:38:08.623-05:00I would not be a good caretaker for the frog.

There will always be a special place in my heart for frogs.<br />My son has been catching frogs in our pond since he was about 5. He still loves those frogs and I have wonderful stories of him and his frog adventures. My absolute favorite is when he was carrying he lastest catch up to my little decorative pond, holding it gently and yelled out to me that he caught a really pretty one. I asked how pretty and he said....."as pretty as you." The sweetest thing I have ever heard and the greatest compliment from my son. I think you should keep that sweet frog!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099244251375958949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-57630183590068584292011-03-24T14:16:29.351-05:002011-03-24T14:16:29.351-05:00That's a great idea!

I live in the Northwest,water is all around us here, so I really appreciate the life of whales, dolphins, etc. I remember studying about water life in 6th grade. I made a stingray for my project. <br />Wow, I didn't know frogs could live that long. He's been such a devoted pet...he must really like it there. Have you asked his school if they would take him back?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525095883428818985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-30262665916289014642011-03-24T14:07:13.758-05:002011-03-24T14:07:13.758-05:00I'm not sure he'll get past UK customs!I'm not sure he'll get past UK customs!Mad about Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544300326099671122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-82591527426537186292011-03-24T13:48:01.360-05:002011-03-24T13:48:01.360-05:00No one wants poor Swimmy . . .
