Guest at Sunday Songs and Rhymes!


 I'm honored to be a Guest Designer over at  The Outlawz Sunday Song and Rhyme where the idea is to create inspired by the Bing Crosby Song "Swinging On A Star"!  You can see all the lyrics HERE.    

I chose this part of the song:  

"Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule"

Ok, now for my disclaimer!  I realize the digi above is a donkey and NOT a mule!  I also have high regard for the mule!  With all respect to Bing Crosby and his lyrics, the mule is NOT stupid or weak in the brain!  The mule is possibly the brightest of all the equine animals...yes, it's true.  Many a "stubborn" mule, who wouldn't listen to the riders, have saved their 'stupid humans' from making life ending errors on the trails.  The mule is the chosen equine for the Grand Canyon tours because of their thinking abilities and refusal to make risky mistakes. 

Whew, now that I've cleared up all that, on with the crafting.... 
Wondering how this all came together?  It's all in the video below!  


Many thanks to Susan for inviting me to play along with the talented team at The Outlawz Sunday Song and Rhyme Challenge!  You are invited to visit and share your creativity sparked by this song!
