Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Anyone got puppet make it take it activities


I was in Fabric Warehouse tonight and noticed an interesting kit: it was a
sock puppet in a box. It apparently all the things one would need to make a
specific character. Never occurred to me that so many people lack so much
creativity. I mean, making a sock puppet is so easy! Sometimes we need to
return to the old ways of making our own.

"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."
-Walter Bagehot

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the
choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape
ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make
are ultimately our own responsibility."-----Eleanor Roosevelt

"Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are
dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do
it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many
tomorrows.
