if you want a stuffed intel astronaut, get thee to funkytown stat - they are going fast! at the time of the mass descent, there were about 100 in the trees, last week there were 50 and now there are only 15 of these popular little invaders up for grabs. we filched 2 of them, leaving 1 cut and paste necklace and 1 little tikes toddler piano in their places. on our way home we left 3 of my happy mixed message magnets on stop signs in the neighborhood. it took all of my willpower not to slap the dirty word magnets on the signs. then we placed bets on how long the magnets would take to disappear. my girls guessed anywhere between 3 weeks and 1 year.
(the weekword is number, chosen by peggy.)

Funkytown rocks. I love that you share it with us. :) I also love that you Love Bombed Lawrence stop signs with your magnets!!! I bet they're gone tomorrow!!!
xoxo,

I love the magnets-I had not seen those before-they will make the people who find them really happy I should think! The astronauts are fun, hanging around like that!
Thanks for the Frida comment-she was fun to make!
What a brilliant thing to do. I love it, I want to live there too!
Excellent!! I wish I lived close enough to funkytown to get me one of those astronauts!
I would stop and look both ways for one of your mixed messages.
you've been nominated for an award. Please visit my blog to learn more and accept at your choosing.
These little astronauts are adorable. Wish I lived near there! I think your magnets were scooped up within hours of putting them out there in the world!
PS: just coming back to share a bumper sticker idea: I brake for mixed message magnets.
It seems as if there's never a dull moment (or street corner) in Lawrence! You've inspired me to go out and find the funky parts of my town.
Sweet! Great shot for this week's word!
Funky Town is quite funky...
I'd take a magnet, forgo the astronaut. lol
XOXOrly
betcha anything the magnets are g.o.n.e. I'm keeping my eyes peeled! Oh, we are the proud owners of 3 intel dudes, or as little O calls them, 'spacemanstarwarsguys' (you have to say it really fast!) Happy weekend. xoxo
between 3 weeks and 1 year is one of the most accurate answers I've ever heard. good head on their shoulders, those two ;)
lawrence space defenders... coolio.
(p.s. did I or the maths problems confuse you? just wondering...)
Found your through Lori Vliegen's blog and just LOVE your art. So glad I stumbled into your humble abode. :)
Watch them disappear... a perfit fit for Number.
Yikes! You know I meant 'perfect' not 'perfit', right?
bet they disappeared already!
Im blog hopping and glad i landed here!!Thanx for the laughs and will def be coming back:O) Isabel
please do let us know how long before they were gone! Lucky neighbors.
Haha, slapping magnets on roadsigns hey? That qualifies as a Random Act of Gorgeousness, I think!
I had a party last Friday, and several people left to go check them out (thanks to you!). But they came back, so that was okay. I wonder what will happen when that child (I don't remember her name) outgrows this project, or maybe it will continue forever, with a life of its own....
I was one of the people who left Theresa's party in search of funky town! It was a little adventure, but some neighborhood boys playing basketball pointed us in the right direction. After seeing this post, I thought I better run back! I snagged an orange astronaut and left a rubber cockroach and zebra finger puppet. There are already fewer astronauts than Friday night, and even from your picture Saturday. And, the toys have even changed.
i swear you live in the best town! how great is this? p.s. your magnets are too hard to resist- i´m betting they are already gone:)
Ha ha! your daughter gives pretty safe delays :)
I want one of those astronauts too!
Wow....oh my goodness...to be out on a walk and find something like Funkytown...that would be so awesome! Those astronauts are too much. Love 'em.
The answer is 176. Do I win a prize? One of those astronauts? Oh wait. I am getting a bit confused. I am not proofreading that Grade 3 Maths text anynore. Yippeeeeee!!
FUNNY. I'm thinking the magnets are already gone!
Oh that is GREAT! How happy and free, to be floating in a tree.
I just read about some promotion or social experiment where hundreds of $5 bills were pinned to a tree. At first, people just walked by, barely noticing or only stopping to snap a picture.
hello lovely one!
i'm swooning over your fanciful pictures and am simply delighted by your blog!
thank-you for such splendid posts! x
