OK, before I share my challenge entry for this week, here's a quick trip down memory lane to explain today's title... hit the buzzer as soon as you know the answer:
Clue #1: 1970's
Clue #2: Jack Wild
Clue #3: Saturday morning kids' show
Clue #4: Witchy-Poo
Did you get it? Yep, the show was called "Puffinstuff" ... "H.R. Puffinstuff; who's your friend when things get rough..." Picture a teenage boy (Jack Wild, who played the Artful Dodger in the movie "Oliver"), a magical talking flute (named Jimmy, I think), Witchy-Poo, and a big guy named Puffinstuff (he looked like a cross between Mayor McCheese and Barney).
This one song from the show was about trying to find a rhyme for the word oranges ... "oranges, poranges - there's another one!" The message was to think outside the box, challenge the accepted norm, and be creative - something I needed to hear in my early adolecent years I guess, because the song has always stayed with me. Of course, the fact that Jack Wild's Teen Beat posters were plastered all over my bedroom walls back then might have something to do with it too ... along with Donny Osmond, David Cassidy, Chris Knight ... but I digress. <grin>
OK then, on to the real reason for this post ... a card! This one's one of my favourites; I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.
