Birthdays, cocktails and dreams.

Posted 16 days ago

There’s yet another new group, on Redbubble: namely, cocktails and dreams.

So I cleaned my cocktail glasses.
They were given to me by the mother of my children, who dressed up as Jeannie for a Rat-Pack party, that was organised for my 60th birthday, five (Yes! 5.) ...

Movement, at last!

Mixed emotions!
I am not particularly keen on the Redbubble Challenges, although I loved the rubber ducky challenge, which was on, before challenges popped up everywhere.
I don’t particularly feel like a full-card-carrying member of the Sydney group and…..yet..... I think it’s funny that my picture made the top-10, in the Movement Challenge.
(Perhaps there were just 10 entries???...
