Welcome to today's blog hop. Today celebrates 2 special holidays: LOVE A COW DAY and NATIONAL HORSE DAY so to celebrate some very talented crafters have come together to show off their work and to pick their favorite animal: horse or cow. Have fun seeing the projects that revolve around these two wonderful animals as well as find out who is our winner in Cows Verses Horses Blog Hop!

Peter Pan vs. Captain Hook Blog Hop 7/12/2012


Peter Pan Vs. Captain Hook

Welcome to Neverland. Where is Neverland you ask-it's in the minds of children - "second star to the right and straight on till morning" and from afar, these stars depict Neverland in the distance. The Darling children, Wendy and her brothers are whisked away to the magical world of Neverland with the hero of their stories, Peter Pan. Peter Pan, who takes them to Never Land, where there is an ongoing war between Peter's gang of rag-tag runaways and the evil Pirate Captain Hook is taking place. The novel Peter Pan mentions that there are many more suns and moons there than in our world, making time difficult to track, and that the way to find the time is to find the crocodile, as there is a clock inside it. The crocodile is also a nemesis to Captain Hook who lost his leg thanks to this crocodile. Now Captain Hook is also Peter Pan's nemesis ..... Its adventure and the story of a boy who never wants to grow up .... hmmmmmmm, ok. not commenting on that! LOL!!!

Our sponsor for this hop is Lisa Peters of Scrapping with Lisa's Designs, http://scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/ who is offering a $20 certifcate towards free paper piecing files --- free is always good!!!

My project is a chipboard picture frame that I put a picture of my favorite little peanut, my grandson, Maxwell, in it.
