The scarf has arrived

Marnie, I must have subconsciously known that your package would arrive today, because I colour-coordinated my clothes this morning in anticipation. PLUS I died my hair a lovely complimentary shade of red. I am NOTHING if not committed to my blog friends (and their loot)! Go ahead - send me a gift! I'll die my hair, I'll buy a matching skirt at Value Village - I'll do ANYTHING for free loot!

I've already found SO many uses for this... um... lovely scarf. The head-dress, the shawl, the babushka... those are just the beginning!





It also serves well as a sun-shade, a mirror accent, clothing for my naked giraffe, a lampshade to set the mood...




Maddie rounded the corner while I was taking the head-dress photo and said "What the....!" Her unfinished sentence spoke volumes. But then, she couldn't resist getting in on the fun, and she discovered several other uses. A skirt (otherwise known as something to hide her ever-present butt-crack), a baby-carrier for Joe the monkey, and long hair when she's playing dress-up.




Some other reactions in my household...
Julie picked it up gingerly, like it was a dead animal carcass, and gave it a sneer and then looked at me like I'd lost my mind.
Marcel picked it up, wrapped it around himself and asked, "Is it... um... something sexual?"

LOL, how fun! I'm not that creative.

My boys would probably use it to collect rocks.

First lets talk about the hair. I really like it. Makes your eyes stand out even more!

Now the scarf. Goodness you did give it a try. I wonder what you could do with it for real.

O O O Write a story about the person who designed the scarf! Yes!

I like your hair too! It suits you, somehow.

I kind of like the scarf as window dressing.

"...something sexual?" *laughing uncontrollably*

Is "gifts from Marnie" a new category because you're planning on getting even more fabulousness? I can only hope you get more so you guys can do more tandem Canada posts. :)
