GROUCHY
BERRIES

I AM an emotional eater, and “grumpy” is not an unusual reason for a snack at my house.  Just like when I am sick, it is comfort (read junk) food that elevates my mood.  Macaroni and cheese, potato chips and dip, tortilla chips and salsa, peanut butter and donuts (this one may just be me), baked brie ‘n’ raspberries…all reasons for a happy face and, in my case, a larger arse.  But sometimes, you have to do something just because it makes you happy.  This next Call makes me happy, and I hope that is a good enough reason for you to enter.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Grumpy Bert for Plush Stories : These Plush of Mine at the DeKalb Market in Brooklyn, New York.  There are no sales opportunities, but there is also no entry fee.  I love this!
