And it all started with the Woodseys

My puppets arrived today!!! Oh, I love them so much! I'm a little out of practice using a glove puppet so my right hand and forearm are a tiny bit sore from maneuvering the white mouse, which I have named Chuko after the little Japanese folk tale they included with her. XD

For as almost as long as I can remember I've loved puppets. For a long time I wanted to be a puppeteer. I was even in a puppet play in the sixth grade - The Witch That Saved Christmas. I was the clumsy witch and the kids loved me. Unfortunately, as I aged I realized that I generally don't like being around children and that a career that caters almost exclusively to kids wouldn't be a good idea.

Naturally, my interest had to start somewhere, and it all began with Lightning Strikes Twice - A Woodsey Adventure Book.

I loved that play set and the book. And Mama, Papa and little Milkweed were so cute and well loved. I wish I knew what happened to them, but that was a long, LONG time ago...
