got a sec?

From me and mine to you and yours.

I hope whatever and however you celebrate in the next few days goes off like a frog in a sock.

(providing the said frog actually wants to be in a sock of course, and that the sock is cleaned to regular hygiene standards and that the appropriate forms have been filed with the relevant Frog-Sock-Going-Off authorities)

Merry Christmas!

Tania said...

I reckon, cos everything to do with frogs requires a permit (I've checked), that there would be a special Frog in Sock requirement (not that I've checked). Regardless, have a Chrissy with all kinds of wonderful and thong wearing*.

* For your feet, I mean. Unless there's been more exuberant undie embroidery.

Absolutely no going into socks here, hygienic or not. They all get lost and I don't want to get lost. Cherrie

Thanks for providing such an entertaining year. Hope that fabulous crowd doesn't get tooooo raucous. Perhaps you should hide the socks?

Great picture - I see little Baxter and his lady friend (my favourites) in amongst all your other gorgeous creations. Thank you for entertaining me throughout the year Jodi and I wish you a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and peaceful 2011. Lynnx

Griffin said...

Yes indeed... and Happy Froginnasock to you too!! May your holidays involve much booze and several larfs... and may your new year be even better than this one.

And moreover, may the relevant authorities pay you not to come to work on the basis that the work you do at home is more important.

Deborah said...

Merry Christmas Jodie! I look forward to seeing what you have in store for 2011. I'll be all over your blog like a duck on a june bug.

Michelle @ The Crafty Little Fox said...
