Hi Everyone,
Well here we are [sigh] Back on lockdown with even more restrictions. Protestors are gathering in large groups, no masks, no social distancing. Vaccinations are happening but not as quickly as they should. Small businesses are closing rapidly. We're angry. We're confused. We're anxious. We're sad. We're worried.
It can be a lot to process and accept.
I always thrive to keep Scribbles upbeat & light, humourous & entertaining. We are a Covid 19 Free zone. Scribbles does "happy". We're not about "bad" stuff. We're what you do to take your mind off the bad stuff.
The other change we're making is the location of our Support section in our sidebar. Support was located near the end of the sidebar. We've moved it closer to the top. The need for support has never been greater and that could include our Scribbles friends. Moving that section up makes it easier to access.
This edition features a lot of the things you love the most. We've got cute kids. We've got amusing pets. There's stories about our Scribbles friends. There's two humour sections and a trivia quiz all about the Brady Bunch. Plus we feature our annual encore Spring posts giving you tips from spring cleaning to when to plant your garden.
They're stories and photos selected to bring you a smile or two. That's something that will always be the foundation of Scribbles.
Stay safe. Stay calm. We've got this. We just need to hang in there a bit longer.
Enjoy today's Scribbles.

Princess Everleigh & the Magical Unicorn
IT WAS ALL A BLUR
Creating this post took a little extra time. I had completed the entire post. All I needed to do now was add some captions. I opened the post on Photoshop to edit, only to discover the images were blurry. You could not even see JJ & Keith's faces in the pix of them with Evereigh. There was no way it should be used on Scribbles. It would need to be fixed. I copied good quality pix & pasted them over all the blurry ones. Then I saved the whole thing in PNG format instead of JPG and voula....you could see Everleigh and her family perfectly. #WorthEveryMoment

- SCRIBBLES VIDEO - Count the Eggs Draw featuring Mr. Sock
I think THIS version of our Count the Eggs draw, with its added graphics, special effects and background music, is a perfect example of what Scribbles is all about.
It has something for everyone, including our younger friends, who get a chance to virtually search for Easter eggs with our new pal Mr. Sock, a character with instant appeal, whom you will no doubt see more of in the future.
There's humour, there's love, there's lots of imagination and when combined the results are somewhat magical.
Enjoy!
Here one more time is what our Count the Eggs Contest looked like...

-EDITORIAL-
Arriving a bit earlier than usual, Easter is upon us again. And once again we find ourselves celebrating yet another holiday with pandemic restrictions. But I'm not going to dwell on that, this editorial is about more enjoyable things.
I want to start by thanking everyone for all their praise on two recent Scribbles offerings. Let's start with our Really BIG Show. I love when you message me to say how much you enjoyed something I created and it is even more special when friends we have not heard from in a while respond. Our Really BIG Show had that effect. We heard from our beloved "regulars" who typically send much appreciated comments AND we heard from others who rarely comment. Friends like Rich & Maria, who told us how much they enjoyed our show...wowza... that meant a lot to me.
Then we have our Look for the Leprechaun Contest. We had 26 friends enter this contest with a jackpot that capped at $31 going to our pal Jessica. What made this one extra special was our live draw on Facebook. Over 100 people watched the draw on Facebook and more caught it on Scribbles and You Tube. I'm thrilled and encouraged by those numbers.
I've heard that youngsters also enjoyed watching our live draw. Our Ottawa Valley pal Joe (age 3) noticed himself on screen (the leprechaun was hiding in a post featuring him & we revealed that during the draw.) He also repeated each entrant's name after I read them off. Welland 2 year old pal Lucas also enjoyed watching the draw. Maybe he was mesmerized by my festive green essemble & funky eyewear. We're doing a similar live draw for our Count the Eggs Contest and I'll be wearing more festive attire, so get the kids ready for another family friendly draw. We'll announce the date and time of this draw soon.
This edition offers a bit of everything. We have our Easter classics and comics. There's a "Cuteness Overload" post that dares you not to smile. We say happy birthday to Joe Friday and my sister Kim -who has two new roommates who we introduce you to this edition as well.
Have a happy Easter. Be sure to enter our contest and enjoy today's Scribbles.
Treasured Memories
Yes, we've featured this one before, but with this being Easter, it's always nice to look back at some past celebrations.
