Sunday was to me, like a Monday in disguise, so the business of the day will come just a tad bit later, in this post...
We all go about our everyday lives, rushing in and out, going and coming, caught up knee deep in our own little worlds,
in our own corner of life. Lets take a detour, shall we?
Psssst! Hey, Can you come out and play today?
I like old and I like new, I like sweet and sour! Gumballs that is! Silly, I know, but, Oh, so true!
What does this nonsense mean you ask? Well, I'll tell you!
It means nothing, absolutely nothing, no thing, at all!
But then thats the beauty of it, no?! Yeeesss!
Sometimes, art is created for nothing but the fun of it, I've said it before and I'll say it again, we all could use a little more
tomfoolery in our lives! Today and tomorrow, forget any sorrow, just go out and play, REALLY play.
Step out of your front door carrying in a teeny little bag, all of the happy-go-lucky emotions and freedom you once skipped out with at age 7!
Do you remember! Can you remember?
Yeeesss! There it is! Tap into that!
And believe it or not, or not, or what! What?!
But this frame of mind will put you in a place where your creative spirit can fly...
Nonsense is no sense, but sense all the same! At least to me it is!
I was the kid staring out the window in class, drifting away on cotton candy clouds,
daydreaming of pixie stix forests! Huh? What?
Oh, the capitol of Alaska? Ummm, let me see... shoots, she might as well have been asking me for the formula for PX10 jet fuel!
Consequently I had a tough time focusing and paying attention when the sun was gleaming bright yellow and the sky was
sparkling blue, I swear I could hear the wind calling my name! Yoohoo, Sssannnddddrra...
And just tell me how was I, a defenseless kid supposed to ignore that?!
The sure promise of adventure with a capital "A" and escapade with a capital "ESC"!
And as soon as that 3:00 o'clock bell rang, I was out the door and down the stairs in a flash!
Freedom, sweet freedom at last!
"The practical man can run a locomotive, but he cannot invent one!
The men who are doing the best part of the worlds work are the theorists, in their laboratories watching test-tubes, in their studies excogitating philosophies,
or under the summer trees dreaming of coming days of gold
and singing their reverie". Dr. Frank Crane from Four Minute Essays circa 1919
The color lives within you...
seek it out!
And now, down to the business at hand...

Contessa Kris * Porcelain and glass doll

Down load and use in your personal artwork, until next time my friends!

Fun post. Love the little "Pixie" peeking out of the pixie sticks :)
Pam
You crazy fool, now I need some gumballs.
What a cool post...let go and enjoy! Love the Pixie in the Pixie Stix.
You have such a wonderful imagination. That must be why you are so creative!
:-)
Sherry
What a great post! It comes at a perfect time for me as this past week I have been immersed in what I love to do yet have never had the confidence to fully embrace it and call myself a photographer and an artist. The biggest learning curve has been for me to learn that I CAN do what I love and that I am damn good at it!
Thanks for such a fun post on creativity and letting go:)
What a completly inspiring post. Just makes you look at everyday things in a new light. Thanks for the "eye candy"...literally. lol!
What a fun and playful post. Those gumballs looks delish. Makes me want to play!
I'm going to follow your orders, put away the cleaning supplies and just enjoy the 10th day of my holiday tomorrow! LOL
Your photos are simply wonderful!
OH MY! I Adore this post! Thanks so much for this Sandra. It was like getting a present all wrapped in a big ol' bow and with happiness all about it when it was left on my doorstep! GORGEOUS!
Thanks so much!
Come by and say hello!
Robyn
Dear Sandra,
I have won twice! The first time was when you visited my blog and I discovered yours, the second time is quite unbelievable! I woke up my daughter from a sound nights sleep to tell her the wonderful news. Thank you so much, the dress form assemblage will fit right in!!!
Your Pal,
Linda Crispell
and thank you so much for the special clock face you made for all of us! (smiles)
I understand how Sharon feels, if it wasn't late at night I would be search at the store for gumballs.
Love the colors, old with the new, good stuff. Hugs, Mary
oh cool, the pictures are very beautiful.
And all the winners, congratulations.
One thousand thanks for the beautiful Post, I like to take them, you are so wonderful creative.
Have a nice day and thanks so much
regards
Karin
Your posts are always so much fun to read, wish we had gumballs here in Norway.
Congratulations to every lucky winner :)
Thank you for the free download Sandra, it`s adorable and will come in good use :)
Congratulation to the winners! I want to chew some gumballs now! LOL
I got totally distracted halfway through thinking I was going to see Tom Foolery, but know such luck (maybe he's with Johnny).
Gtreat sentiment and photos, Sandra.
D.
"And congratulations to all of the winners(she begrudgingly muttered under her breath)I'm SO happy for You!"
What an awesome and fun post! Thank you for the clockface:))
Hi Sandra,
Thanks for the wonderful post and clock download. I always love reading them & your artwork is fantastic! Congratulations to the winners...(I am sooo jealous) :) Until next time, I'll have visions of gumballs dancing in my head!
xoxo
Jodie
Great post.
I'm off to create for the fun of it.
Blessings

Oh Sandra, you've inspired my creativity and my sweet tooth- thanks for a fun reminder to go out and play.
clearly
i need to make my way
to the candy store.
:-)
thanks for giving me
so many visual reasons
to shop
for sugar.
{{ don't you love
the color of it all,
the playing with your food~ness
of this }}
way cool, missy....
Beautiful post...loved the message...you have such talent with photography!
Everything I take pictures of inside has a yellow tint...so frustrating!
Oh what a yummy post! I am in need of some sweet treats now :WINK:
Bonjour Sandra! Your art is FABULOUS! Love your pictures too! Love to see someone else have fun with a camera! Will come and visit often, please do so too! Nice meeting you! LuLu
Oh thank you for this post. I needed it. I am struggling, weighted down by life. And therefore not very creative right now. I am going to think about what you said and try to find that little girl in me again. Clarice
Fantastic, fun post - I love coming here..:)
All I have to say is WOW, you are amazing Sandra. What beautiful and totally creative pictures. The colours, texture and depth of such simple things as gumballs and pixie stix, bring true inspiration. Great job, as usual.
Great post Sandra!
Congrats to the winners, and thanks for the fun artwork!
Rosemary
So you made us all winners by giving us something :-O)
Love all those gumballs in all colors. Never seen so many.
sandra, i needed this post today. the color, the nonsense, the freedom, the child. thank you!
Well, this is just quite, quite wonderful. I am now hoping to find a place in a conversation to use the word "tomfoolery".
:) Debi
Tom foolery, vibrant color, play time, inner child time, imagination time.........I live for that! We never outgrow it (at least I would hope not). Tapping in and listening to it is essential for any creative endeavor. I agree with all you posted!!! AND love the use of the candy for a delicious visual of explosive color and eye candy.(hee hee)
AND when I read my name as winner of the doll head I did my happy clap! I will be emailing you immediately!! YAY! and congrats to the other winners too!!
great post! congrats to all the lucky winners! have a great day Sandra!
xo
Ooh, I love the colors!
I mentioned you today on my blog...hope to send more people your way to see your wonderful site!
Absolutely fantastic post, you got me drifting with those cotton clouds. Thank you for the gift, got to go now its 'PLAY-TIME'.....
Well no wonder you were the kid staring out the window in class, drifting away on cotton candy clouds; you sucked the shine off of each and every one of those gumballs, didn't you?!?!? Didn't you?!?!? Next time call ME for help!
First...........congrats on your anniversary! Gumsballs and straw candies. You do take me back to a more loved time. Congrats to all your lucky winners. Thanks for the grand clock face. You are a very giving and talented woman! Hugs, Terri
Oooo now I must go and get some gumballs! Yum.
Karla
Oh Sandra! Your posts always delight me. The photos are scrumptious and your encouragement to play divine!
Smiles, Heather
Oh my goodness! My friend just informed me that I won your porcelain and glass doll! I'm smiling ear to ear! I showed my girls the pic and we speculated that it might be made from a birdcage? My 9 yr old wanted to know if she could keep her pet squirrel in it (she's trying in vain to catch one. lol) I informed her, NO. It would be going on my fireplace mantel with NO animals in it. I'm so excited. Thank you so much!
P.S. Teen budding-photographer is enamored by your photos and wants to attempt something similar. Thanks for the inspiration. Wonderful post.
Really fun post! I love it! And hmmmmm, might just have to go blow some bubbles and eat a piece of candy! : D
And thanks for the artwork!
c
Whimsical Post as usual! Love it. Congratulations to all the Winners and thank you for the Gorgeous Download. Jamie p.s. What will you do with all those Yummy Gumballs???
I want to live in a Pixie Stix forest!
Your blog is always such a pleasure!
Becky
I must say you kept me in suspense through this one.... as always a fun post ... full of surpises....
CONGRATULATIONS to the lucky winners of your giveaway!!
HUGS AND A SPRINKLING OF PIXIE STICKS DUST FOR YOU
JO
oh what fun Sandra!!! you sure are one popular lady....and I can see why....amazing how inspiration is all around us!!!
hugs
What a fun post! I haven't thought about gumballs in years .. but what fun it was to see them in all their vivid colors and acrobatics today!
Congrats to all your lucky winners!!
What a wonderfull story, and reminder to us all, one certainly needs that now and then.
And thanks for your lovely gift.
Dorthe
wow, you are a creative soul!
Great post!
k-
Congrats to the winners! Thanks for the clock. I can always use a clock that points me to have 'time off'!! I like all the candy, not only for their beautiful colors but they remind me of 'Luilekkerland', that's the country where you don't have to work (lui means lazy) but can eat candy all day. Fountains are made of lemonade, everything is made out of candy. It's a country that every dutch person of my age knows.
Have a nice day!
Wow that candy brings back memories!
Yes we need to play! PS I tagged you..tag your it!
xxoo Denise in Boston
PS I have been invited to teach at Stamp Act!!
Congrats to all of the winners!!!! Sigh, I wished for the doll!! I love the vibrant colors and candy theme. Great way of expressing your thoughts through color. "I want candy".
Kris
Sandra,
You are such a delight!!!!
Julie Bergmann
Oh I had oodles of fun here today!!! I love my clockface Sandra :)

Oh Sandra! What a positively lovely and magical post! What fun to be such pixie in such a pixie stick forest! xo-Mel
Oh I love, love, love gumballs from a gumball machine! I also love the little square ones too...so much sweetness in one minute of heaven, yum! Thanks for the ever-whimsical post and a reminder to take myself lightly, too! So much seriousness lately, trying to sort out life, maybe if I tried some levity I would just float away, ha, ha, ah-ha, ha, ha.
Thanks for the time(clock)...say, say, oh playmate, come out and play with me, and bring your dollies three, climb up my apple tree...xo
p.s. congratulations lucky winners!
thanks for the yummy post and the great clip art! and Congrat's to all those winners! How delightful!
My mouth is watering for gumballs now... ;0)
Dear dear Sandra...what a VERY sweet treat of a post! And thank you so much for sharing a piece of your beautiful artwork for us to use!
Congratulations to the winners!
Hugs to you,
Michelle
Sandra, I just loved this fun and fanciful post. I makes me want to run out my door and play. I am so excited to have won the lovely mannequin in the lace skirt. I have just the spot for her. I always come away refreshed after reading one of your posts. They alway get my creative juices flowing. Thank you again for sharing your inspiration. I love the clock face, thank you.
Karen

Nancy
Sandra, why didn't you post your gumball photos earlier. I could have so used them for the painting of "Lillian"!
Cool photos!
Sandra,
the gumballs create such great movement...they're making me move right out the door to enjoy the day. Happy anniversary,
Holley
Just stopped by to say hello. Happy Anniversary! It sounds like you have enjoyed your adventures so far. Thank you for being an inspiration to me.

Hello Sandra,
What a wonderful post and giveaway! I missed visiting, but am back and looking forward to many more...Pinkie
Congratulations to all the lucky ladies and thank you for the gift of time.
Your photos are amazing and a great lesson in good photagrophy...love this post.
Beautiful colors and a fun post. My grade school report cards all read "Kathy likes to look out the window and daydream" Oops! I still do:>)
Love the clock face!
Thanks sew much Sandra,
been scrolling & dreaming, and REMEMBERING what it was like to be a kid AGAIN,
and yes! I'm there, right back there once again.
Thank you.
I can see this published into a litle motivational book...sold at candy stores next to the gumballs, or at a bookstore with a gumball machine next to it.
Oh! I Love your photos. Your colors are so true and always so dreamlike.
I wish I had won your contest, but I will so use that wonderful clock face anyway!
thank you for your visit and your comment on my blog.
fun post and great pictures! you are so imaginative :O)
Oh, Sandra, how I loved pikie sticks...except... when I would lick the end, and the paper would get stuck together..no more pikie dust...oh well, just tear off the end and start licking again =)
Loved this post! Congrats to all the winners!!! I'm off to eat some gumballs now!
YUMMY gumballs!!!
Hope you are well Diva!
Chris :)
what lucky winners....but thanks for the sweet clock graphic...i adore it and saved it. Thanks sandra...keep playing. :)
Wonderful post! But I have a sudden desire to rush out to the dine store for a gumball.
Congrats to the giveaway winners too. :)
p.s. you've inspired a post, and a long overdue finished piece of whimsy...I'd love for you to come for a visit!
I really like the photo's : the texture of the gumballs and the sticks...
I downloaded the clock ( thanks !), just a pity I can't download some of your gumballs in real...
Inge from Belgium
I'm a little late to the gumball party but I enjoyed it just the same.
Thanks for the clock download and the over all uplifting entry.
Darla
Every time I come to your world, I leave enchanted! And now I leave with a doll head, too! I'm so excited! Thank you, Ms. Sandra! I'll be eagerly awaiting the post!
And congratulations on a fabulous article in Artful Blogging -- one anyone who has ever considered a blog should read!
Congratulations to all the winners. I think that the design of this post is just amazing. I have an award for you on my post today. This blog has become the highlight of my day. Karen
I was thinking about gobstoppers, jawbreakers, pop rocks etc...all the fun things...candy necklaces and candy lipsticks...childhood revisited and recaptured. Lovely
hugs
Sandi
What a fun post! Congrats to the winners of your giveaway.
I'm off to play for a while.
amazing pics!! hope you have a fabulous day!! hugs!! xo Britt :-)
You and I must have shared the same class room in which we specialized in the subject of daydreaming. My teachers might has well have spoken exactly like Charlie Brown's ~ "wahh wa wahh wa wa!" For that is what the droning seemed to be, a background noise to my nice flights of fancy. Great post!
THANK YOU!!!
:o)
Amber Dawn
Since I didn't win the drawing...will you mail me some gumdrops, since my mouth is WATERING! It didn't start until the green and yellow and then the Pixistix's did me in!
Terisa
I just love the way you put text and pictures together, youre an true artist. this blog is wonderful. I will return and enjoy. best wishes!! /linnea-maria
I hear you! I was the one always daydreaming in class, thinking of all things sparkly and pink - hey, is it time for art class yet? Who wants to listen to geometry?! Love the gumballs! Congrats on your blog-aversary! Blessings, Victoria Lynn
Hi Sandra
I am so thrilled when some one of your caliber leaves a comment on my blog! Thank you so much. I love your work and especially inspired at how you have been able to be a full time artist. That is my ultimate goal to be a full time artist and make my living doing it. Thank you again!
Robin
Thank you for the wonderful downloadable "clock". Loved your post. I too was the little girl gazing out the school windows....they never understand, do they?! Your post reminded me of a favorite Jimmy Buffett song:
"I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says NOW"
Your posts always make me smile and inspire me, as does your art.
Cheers,
Kathy in Chicago
Your blog makes me soooooo happy!
Love it! I shoud play more! Jen R
What a great post! Yes, I too was the kid day dreaming out the window, waiting for the bell to ring, and oh how I loved a pixie stix! Tomorrow, as I go about my day, I will chant the word "tomfoolery" to help me remember what is truly important!
What a fun post full of imagination! I love the bright colors and all the fabulous photos!
Thanks for the clock face ~ it's great!
Hugs,
Donna
what eye candy sandra !!! ( i couldn't resist ! ) you always have the most inspiring posts !!

Congrat's on your blog! That was the most fun post ever, thanks! :)
How kind, a clock to keep me on track!
awesome shots! I just love the pixie sticks..
Well now you got me all teary eyed. I was also that little girl staring out the window.. watching the clock tick oh so slow! Now my little girl is also the dreamy dreamer with her teacher complaining.. she just can't concentrate. Oh she's concentrating all right. Congrats to all the winners and thanks for the beautiful download. Peace.
wow these photos are amazing..crazy in love...Jennifer
Ah, where do i get gumballs now? ;)
Love all your little vintage pictures in there too...especially the little girl in the locket, so lovely!
Of course that was wonderful,and congrats on the winners.When I was a little girl,in New Orleans,The 50's, We had a little shop called the Sugar Bowl.It had old wooden floors and big glass jars, filled with all the candies of old.They also sold paper dolls and toy water pistles,Jaxs ,pick up sticks.At Christmas time,my Granddaddy would give us kids a brand new shinny silver dime. We could buy a bag full of candy with that. It was a dream come true to go in there. LOL I think I just gave myself an idea.Thanks Sandra Hugs Marie antionette
Dear Sandra,

Such fun and colour here..!
I have spent lots of time this summer with my granddaughters, reliving my distant childhood, and rekindling a second one..!
I remember those school days, bodily stuck in science lab, mentally outside with the clouds and birds..etc..
hugs

I love, love the words and the gum balls become such a fantasy with the other candy, really rolls us back in time. I promise to play hard; daydreaming is hard work. :)

Fun post and I love gumballs too. As for the pixie stix-those bring back memories. I didn't know they even still made those-lol.
Have a great weekend!
I swear,(sorry!), you are a writing genius. This post was just such a delight to read.:) (Like Donna O. I was distracted by the tomfoolery~isn't that the best word?!)
What a total delight for your winners, I know that Carola in Germany is going to just die over winning.

Crying big crocodile tears that I missed out on your anniversary. I've been moving...ugh. But now I'm at my new home all tucked in and ready to "play". I love your gumball pictures. I have not one, but a whole mouth chuck full of sweet teefs, so your gumballs are making my mouth water.

Hi Sandra! I just got back home to Austin after 2 months overseas. It was a real pleasure to catch up on your news (you have an incredible sense of PLAY) and to be featured with you (WOW!!!!) in Artful Blogging. I am in awe!
Hi! Sandra: amazing pictures!Fun post!

Oh, the tastiness of candy! I too had a candy post today, but yours is SPECTACULAR as always.
xoxo
Oh my gosh, Sandra this is wonderful (like always). A ways down your post, I'm thinking I wonder where I can get her clock, is it featured as a stamp, I know it's not in Artful Blogging since I just read that, hmm maybe the Home issue I haven't got to yet and then.... Yippee! Thank you so much!
What a joy to remember those Pixie Sticks back in the day ;)
xo~Tracie
Tick tock... download complete ;)
sandra, i found this on a yahoo search, "By the way, my daer frind is the artist Dino D'Taos. He is a listed disciple of Salvador Dali. ... huge part of my world via Dino, that when I look at his face...'
I just met Dino. He is alive and well in St Peteresburg. Ironically the Dali museum is home to the largest Dali collection outside Spain.
I wanted to read ur article but the article cannot be found. If u have it can u send this to me? I can me reached at info@5thworldart.com.
Cheers!

Sandra,
Your creativity amazes me. Your willingness to march on and stick with it is contagious. I Love the colorful photos and the simpleness of color and gumballs to get your point across. Thanks for sharing all that you do and continuing to inspire me. I want to go blow some bubbles and learn how to "crack" my gum while chewing!
Blessings,
Michelle

Pixie sticks rock!
Hi Sandra!
I used your little clock on one of my t-cup witches this week. Stop over and take a peek at her. :)
Hope you are enjoying the fall!
