It's Really Looking A Lot Like Christmas......

.... when Jeff and Jeff are through decorating the Stevens' Home... built in 1902.

The Princess Will See You Now

Princess Holly on her throne in the Kansas City Museum.  She and her sister princesses will be appearing at 3218 Gladstone Boulevard on weekends. http://www.kansascitymuseum.org/fairy.html 

 The Princess' official Fairy Escort greets the children and then sends them to the ante-chamber, below, where they wait for their audience.

 Above and below, the waving of the wand and the saying of the magic word opens the box for the children to retrieve a gift bag...

 Afterwards, while waiting for your official princess pictures, you can make special things for Christmas.

 Stop on your way out to watch the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, or, below to visit the Castle Gift Shop.... or just do both.... and don't forget your cookie !!!!

The Princess Arrives

The Kansas City Museum hosts the Fairy Princess for the next couple of weeks on weekends starting tomorrow, December 6th.  http://www.kansascitymuseum.org/fairy.html

 For the first time in many years the Throne Room will be in Corinthian Hall and it has been gloriously decorated by Museum Staff and volunteers from the neighborhood.  Children will love this and each child gets a toy.

I think most photographers are frustrated artists... i e.  the folks who can paint and draw and capture feelings in multiple media.  The frustration is eased somewhat with the use of Photoshop.. and multiple steps to create something close to what we wish we could do with a brush.  :)  All Northeast around the lake.
