I actually thought of just posting the photo to my story this week with no other explanation! 🙂 I chickened out, though. This is cute!
Cute indeed! And I happened to have summoned mummies for part of my flash this week…
Very cute! The teddy bear dangling from the child like that reminds me of Lost!
Works for me!
1,000 words in 4. Nicely done, Icy. 😀
Elizabeth – I just thought I’d try something new!

Jack – I do cute on occasion…

Kevin – *bows*
Q: What did the high priest of Amon-Hotep say when he finished mummifying Ramses II?
A: Well, that about wraps it up!
Love the dangling teddy bear. Nice work, Icy.
Cute!
Cute!
Love it! Love especially that it’s phrased as if the little girl isn’t sure.
This is pretty cool! Definitely works for me!
Glad everyone liked it!
Adorable 🙂
