Day 41

Rapunzel tried not to feel sorry for herself as she sat at her window and cried. She'd only wanted a trim to look nice for her prince, but the old witch cut off all but a foot of her hair. Now she'd never be rescued!

Day 40

Finn was pretty sure there was a clichè here somewhere, but he was too hungry to care.

Edited Thursday morning to add: I should give credit to my 12-year-old for my inspiration for this shot. He found a LEGO barrel in his room, brought it to me, and said, "Mom, you can have my barrel for your pictures. Don't you have some fish?" Why yes, yes I do! Thanks, Drew. :)

Day 39

A relaxing walk around the lake had seemed like a perfect way to spend their lunch hour. As Sam and Susie hit the halfway mark twelve hours later, though, the idea had definitely lost its appeal.

Day 38

So far, the evening had been perfect: a romantic dinner, dancing, and finally a moonlit stroll through the park. But as Jack stood behind Diane with the rose and ring box, he realized his plan had a fatal flaw. There was no way he was going to be able to get down on one knee.

A professional photographer will tell you that this shot is impossible, because there's no way to get a focus on Diane, the tree behind them, and the moon, while leaving Jack a little out-of-focus. So in the interest of full disclosure, this is two shots put together. No matter how I shot Jack & Diane, the moon wouldn't look right, so I finally used two shots--ISO, aperture, and exposure time all had to be changed. Thanks to the magic of Photoshop, you get the best of both pics!

Wow!

I am continually amazed at the number of hits here daily. I love it! It would be great if I were making money from this as well, but I'm not and am not trying to. There are very few things I enjoy more than making other people smile, and I'm happy to continue to do so.

So far, the Lego Blog has gotten hits from 41 states. I'm hoping to make it to all 50, and I have no idea how long that will take. Four days, four weeks, four hours? You can help! If you haven't already, send the link to your friends. Hopefully they'll not only look but want to come back and then send it to THEIR friends! And don't forget about the Facebook fan page. I'm not currently an admin on the page, so there isn't much content at the moment, but we're working on getting that changed so I can post updates and info there as well.

Here are the missing nine states:
Montana
North Dakota
South Dakota
Alaska
Iowa
Delaware
Vermont
New Hampshire
Hawaii

If you have friends there who could use a good laugh, please send it along! Thank you SO much for your continued support.

Day 37

Very few authentic photos exist of the Cabbage Patch Kids' lesser-known cousins, the Flower Bed Legoheads.

Day 36

Brian's mother had been telling him for years that his room was so messy, he'd lose his own head if it wasn't attached. One morning, he woke up to find she was right all along.
