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!

Shot with my 35-70mm lens at f/2.8.

The poor girl. Make sure you get her inside before the cold sets in 😉

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!

Where’s Andy? Did he just leave her alone face first in the lawn? Cute, very cute!

Jennifer Triplett said this on December 31, 2011 at 12:18 pm | Reply
- 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!

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. 🙂

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!

At first glance it seemed like a sad photo until I read your hilarious story!

Shannon Hart Hudnell said this on January 7, 2012 at 5:13 am | Reply
- 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!

Where the heck is Andy? Did he leave her lonely on New Years Eve? Jerk!

- 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!
