I've been tagged, so I'm it!

Mon Ami, Trish, 'The Princess of Trouvais" ( a nom de plume bestowed on her by Jermaine, the princess of French Kissed) tagged me to dig in to my archives and come up with the 10th picture in there. Well my computer crashed a while ago and I lost some, and it could have been a picture of a "before" piece of needy upholstery BEFORE we took it to Beadboard Rehab and redid it. So I thought I would share this.

These are the two big penguins in the shop our first xmas, we had many little ones

and you might wonder why these two BIG ones are going for a ride in a ragtop... Well they were purchased by great customers of ours and they wanted them OVERNIGHTED to Colorado as a Christmas surprise. GULP! I thought these would just go into someone's SUV and go home.

They were so big I had to put the top down to get them in the car for the ride to the UPS store. I brought in the small one first and they were speechless but when I brought in the big one their jaws hit the ground. This also involved UPS building a box so big it had almost had to go freight, me with a glue gun later in the day gluing on a busted wing, (having already jury rigged a broken beak.) They were made of styrofoam. Not tooo sturdy........But all's well that ends well, penguies ended up in Cool Colorado, much happier than in warmer south Texas. By the way, they, as well as passers by enjoyed the ride. And the surprised and delighted recipients had two unexpected and unusual xmas guests....
