A giant Amish couple lures tourists into America’s most charming miniature display. That would make Shartlesville the land of the giants and miniatures. The lady, looking retro rural in her bow tied bonnet and matching apron, seems to be petting an invisible dog. The man holding a pitchfork and waving what should be a gloved and sequined hand, looks just like the gloved one to me.
This is especially odd since these…

A giant paper mâché turtle on wheels trails a trio of local teen girls perched on a Chrysler product parading through he heart of town. The beautiful bubble windshield tells us it’s a Chrysler, but who cares what kind of a car it is when its covered from stem to stern in spellbinding stripes of buttercup yellow and sea-foam green toilet paper flowers.

I love a beautiful family portrait! But never more than when the family is posed in front of a canned ham trailer and least two of them are dressed alike. In this case its his and hers Hawaiian print shirts. Truly inspired!

My work has a birthday party once a month for all the birthdays in the month and December was my month only. I had seen your video of the Cherpumple and, like you said, since everyone always seems to want a little of every selection – I thought we should go out with a bang this year.
Everyone was a little skeptical at first but after the first bite – the compliments flew…

We went to a party, and Jen created 3 Astro Weenie trees: shrimp/meatball, cheese/grape, and various veggies.
