Hello! My name is....

So I got this invite from The Goodwill Geek  to participate in The League of Extraordinary Bloggers weekly topic. The Geek's proven to be a pretty solid guy, so I am happy to do so! And Miss M from Diary of Diary of a Dorkette also mentioned it to me, so it must be fate.....

Hello! My name is Laura.

What an exciting name, right?........

I started blogging a little over a year ago after being so inspired by other blogger's creativity and seeming zest for everyday life. Did my life become zesty after I started blogging, you ask?

Well, yeah. It kinda did. .......

Blogging made me more aware of the little comical moments in my Mayberry-esque Texas town, I  began to pay closer attention to the details in everyday life. The interests I had in all things kitsch, vintage, or just the plain ol' unusual finally had a platform that made sense. ........

A little about me......
I cannot resist an old Puppet, well unless it's over $5. I do have morals.

Nothin makes me happier than a vintage toy.....

Except this guy....

and oh yeah, these little people...

I have terrible photoshop skills. Wait, that's a lie.
I still use Microsoft Paint because I don't understand photoshop lingo...

I'm disturbed by a particular childhood toy, Puppy Surprise.

I have my dealer on speed dial (antiques, that is).

I'm saddened over the intolerance in our society toward's adults who still play with toys....

I can make all kinds of stuff. Just tell me what you want and I'll see it done.
 Even a felt Molses.....

Or a Slimer photo prop, if you're ever in need of one......

It's not all just fun and games, though. I sometime blog about the real and the raw, as my true passion in life is child advocacy and healing. Maybe that's what keeps me so childish ;)

I also sometimes get a wild hair up my butt and write about deeply personal matters that just need a release.
Just a warning.....
But for the most part it's all about the little treasures....

and the big ones...

I would wrap it up by saying that's about it but you know,
 it really isn't even a fraction  ;)
If you came by through way of the "League", welcome!
 Now I'm off to meet you, as well.
Here's some other folks with their juicy expose's, sooo worth a click!
Miss M over at Diary of a Dorkette, a totally rad chick who I would love to hang out with (until she caught me stealing her toys and kicked me out) ;) She is a She-Ra lovah!
The Trash Man, a cat lover who gives terrible advice and makes a Ramona and Beezus book reference (Kimmie Jones!)
The Goodwill Geek, if you've hung around my blog, this is my male counterpart (Sorry, Geek!)
