Saturday Silliness – Raggedy Ann Had Too Much Fun on New Year’s Eve :)
Time for some more Saturday Silliness. (: To see the previous posts/ images, please click here.

Look who I found early on New Year’s Day 2011! Raggedy Ann had way too much fun last New Year’s Eve. (:
After I posted my Raggedy Andy photo during my first week of blogging, a wonderful reader of my blog, Amber, said that it looked like Andy was depressed and strewn out on the floor and forgotten. That gave me an idea…. 
So out came Raggedy Ann for her little photo shoot earlier this week. For a prop, I found a little empty liquor bottle. I shot this in the morning sun, so there would be shadows, and then I made sure Ann’s smile was showing, just to lighten the mood.
So have a wonderful (and silly) time this New Year’s Eve. Just don’t end up like Raggedy Ann, passed out on the front lawn. (:
Happy New Years!

Oh dear – it was a rough night…
Nicely shot, great feel to that photo. Happy New Year and thanks for all the art you have shared with us this year.
Ah thank you, Dawn! And thanks so much or appreciating my photography!
Very creative and very funny.
Happy New Year!!
Thanks, Bob!
Blimey! She must have really started early the little lush!
Have a good one!
LOL! Raggedy Ann loves her photo shoots! Thanks Jude!
The poor girl. Make sure you get her inside before the cold sets in
She was inside enjoying some hot chocolate right after the photo shoot. Her smile just never stops!
Haha poor Ann! Should have drank responsibly… At least she didn’t get behind the wheel!
Exactly! No driving for drunk Annie.
Oh, and Happy New Year to you too!
Thank you!
Reblogged this on Found Round & About and commented:
Found this while looking thru the blogs this morning. Even Hubby stopped in his tracks, stepped back, and said “What the?” then immediately started laughing when he saw the picture clearly!
Thank you so much, Tisha! That’s exactly the response I wanted to this photo.
Great shot Katie. Happy New Year.
Thank you, Edith!
Looks like my last New Year’s date. She had way much fun. Me, not so much.
LOL! Great comment!
Very nice shot Katie! And a Happy New Year to you
peace

Ah, thank you, Xandi!
She may be unconscious, but she is still smiling!!
Exactly! Raggedy Ann is never sad.
Fun times for her! Thanks, Bob!
Hilarious! Happy New Year, Katie!
Thank you, Adrienne!
See you do have some toys to have fun with
Its very cute.
Thanks, Cin!
Where’s Andy? Did he just leave her alone face first in the lawn? Cute, very cute!
Andy wasn’t up for the photo shoot.
But now that you mention it, it would have been cute with him on the yellow chair. 
Thanks, Jennifer!
now that made me laugh, great post. Best wishes for the new year from the UK
Ah, glad it made you laugh! Thanks!
I hope Raggedy Ann recovers quickly from her celebrating. Thankfully, my days of finding myself in similar situations is long past. I will rise early on New Years Day feeling just fine. I hope you do as well.
Ah, thanks!
Cute and funny! Been there, done that. It is a good reminder to stay sober,thanks!…Happy New Year, Jane
Thank you, Jane!
Too much New Year’s celebration! Well, she may be out of it, but I hope you have a better New Year’s.
Have a wonderful 2012, Katie!
Peace
Thank you, Suzanne!
This made me laugh! I love the humor in this photo. Happy New Year (almost), Katie. I hope the new year will bring us many more of your beautiful photos to enjoy!
Ah, thank you so much, Jenna!
That’s too funny! Made me laugh out loud! Hope your new year is a little less … well – let’s just say I hope you don’t end up laying in the yard while still having a smile on your face! lol! : )
LOL! So glad you noticed that smile and that the photo made you laugh! Perfection!
Ah, yes, I’ve had my share of ragged New Year’s Days, too. That’s why I don’t anymore. LOL Thanks for the fun picture, and Happy New Year!

Hahaha…
at least she found her way home, I guess.
Yep, good thing she could crawl under the gate.
poor Ann…somebody has forgotten about her. great shot Katie
But she was still happy about that, eh?
Thanks, Novroz!
Haha! That Raggedy Ann – such a lush.
LOL! Thanks, Danita for the fun comment.
Very funny and a great picture as always! Happy new year!
Thanks, Rebecca! Glad you like this one!
Superb idea… and very well executed.
Thanks, Diane!
She does seem to have had a rough night of it… Hopefully Andy was around to help hold her braids! She does look a bit mischevious…something brewing in her sleeves for sure!
Ah, I love the mischievous comment, Amber. I see that in her too. I’m glad I captured her this way. thanks for you comment and inspiration!
Great composition. Wish I’d thought of that.
Ah, thanks, Tooty! I really love this image.
I love the picture
He he I bet lots of people ended up just like Raggedy Ann 
LOL! I bet some people did too. But I also think they didn’t have that same smile.
Thanks for the comment, Kristina! 
That’s funny! This one could get captioned and go viral!
I LOVE this one too! Viral it could be.
That would be fun, but first let me put my watermark a bit bigger. 
At first glance it seemed like a sad photo until I read your hilarious story!
Ah, I didn’t want it too look sad.
I purposely left her smile showing to put a bit of impishness in it. Hard to see when smaller though. 
Thanks for your comment, Shannon!
Terrific nice photo ! Wow, an excellent idea very well done! I really like it!
robert
An thanks, Robert. I really like this image too.
All partied out…
Best wishes for 2012!
Thanks, Graham!
Great photo.
Thank you, Nigel!
Where the heck is Andy? Did he leave her lonely on New Years Eve? Jerk!
(LOVE the way you play with your dolly. SUPER photograph!)
LOL! Andy was relaxing upstairs in my closet.
After your comment I think I should have put him in that chair and given him a tiny cigar like he was just watching Raggedy Ann, but not really caring. 
Smile and all. Thanks for your comment!
Nicely set up. I love that hint of her smile, made me laugh.
I’m so glad you see that smile. I did take very careful consideration to makes sure she was placed well and the smile. Thank you so much for noticing! And thanks too for visiting my blog.
What’s wrong with these dolls! I’ve spotted this guy last year: http://mothergrogan.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/q-103.jpg
