Follow the Yellow Brick Road

All this time you, my loyal followers, have probably thought that I was a nice person. Sorry to disappoint you but underneath this kind exterior is a witch – like from the Wizard of Oz. Not Glenda the good one, but the other one, with the striped stockings and funny hat.  

I was in third grade and a good friend of mine Rita B. and I went to see the Wizard of Oz at the Elmora Movie Theater. About half-way through she started crying. She was terrified of the film and told me between sobs that we had to leave – NOW! I wanted to stay and watch the film because I was really enjoying it, but No, we had to leave cause she was a scaredy cat!!

Our friendship changed after that day and a few months later – it was the day after Halloween - she got sick in school. As she puked all over herself, I wickedly laughed inside knowing I had my revenge. See, I am a witch. Do you hate me?

I like the Wizard of Oz but have never loved it. Wicked, on the other hand, is one of my favorite musicals and I have actually seen it twice. I think it is because I identify more with Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, than I do with the innocent Dorothy.

I made this album last week and I am loving the way it turned out. It is the $1.50 Little Cottage chipboard album from Mike’s bin and of course, Graphic 45 paper. I embossed the yellow brick road using TH dies.

Hold onto your hat cause there's a tornado coming!
I used sunflowers because they are the state flower of Kansas.

Pages 1 & 2 
Follow Dorothy and her friends as they seek brains, courage, heart and home.

Pages 3 & 4
The key hole paper is actually from Graphic 45
Alice in Wonderland line. It's a perfect fit.

Pages 5 & 6
Stamps are from Artistic Outpost.

Pages 7 & 8
My favorite tag is the witch's striped socks.

OMG!The tornado destroyed the house. Where are the sides?

Don't worry, Dorothy and Toto made it home safely.
The End!

Coming soon to YouTube, a spell binding story about
