A TOMATO AND A POTATO MAN WALK INTO A BAR (stop me if you've heard this one) + NEW BANNER DAY
Sometimes I like to stick stuff in the freezer and then the next day take pictures. Other times I like to put Thing on Potato Man's head to see Thing fits. Other, other times, I like to use monster lighting to create a new banner and call myself The Spooky Whisk.

DeleteI love ALL these photos! The frozen cherry tomatoes are particularly creative. And I laughed at Thing's new perch. Have you watched the season 2 episodes of "Wednesday" yet? I've watched the first installment and enjoyed them very much!
ReplyDeleteYES! Can't wait for the rest of it to air. Such a fun show. I have two Wednesday minis and one Thing (right now, lolol). But yeah, we dug it too. Good show. Fun show. Love that she's like Nancy Drew but from the dark side.
DeleteLove this!! You always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteHey Lori! Thank you for stopping in today and I'm happy to hear about the smiles.

ReplyDeleteHello August Birthday Baby! Freezing stuff is fun. Berries, sliced carrots, really anything. Thanks for stopping in today. Wishing you a fun rest of your Birthday Month.
DeleteSo do you do the photos for you or do you sell them for others to use?
ReplyDeleteHey Cheryl! I haven't licensed these shots.
DeleteThing on Mr. Potato Head - I like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex. I got The Thing from Fantastic 4 this week too. Tim's fave of all the super heros. Fun to shoot! Thanks for stopping in.
DeleteIvy ... you're lovely ... you always make me smile ... I so enjoy visiting your blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, you are clearly having fun :)
All the best Jan
Hi Jan! Much, much thanks. I enjoy yours so much as well. Always a good idea for a meal and I just love that.
DeleteWho knew that freezing tomatoes would be art! Looks great.
ReplyDeleteHey Debby! Crazy fun. I did berries and crinkle cut carrots too. Very, very fun.
DeleteEach one is wonderful. How fun to experiment with different things. You sure have been getting some wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Learning light in the last four, almost five months is a game changer for sure. Hope they catch that bank robber. That's scary stuff, Ann. Ack! Stay safe.
DeleteSpooky is great! I wish I had a "Thing". I've taken pictures of iced up things before but never laid out anything to freeze just for a photo op.
ReplyDeleteHaving a real-life Thing would be fun! I got the fake one at a store called, Five Below. Oh my gosh, River, we can freeze soooo many things. I did berries, crinkle cut carrots. Just so many fun ideas to play.
DeleteYou are a funny person but a good one. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret! Much thanks and thank you for stopping in today.
DeleteYou create fun and Joy. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Marie! That's how I feel too when I look through one of your photo walks. Those birds you get. My gosh! LOVE IT.
DeleteVery creative! You have certainly moved on from summer.
ReplyDeleteCathy
Hi Cathy! Summer is for sure in the back view mirror at our house. Bring on the chilly, crispy autumn dayzzzzz.
DeleteI absolutely love these photos!!! Your frozen one is wonderful and the pumpkin head, and Mr. Potato Man looks like she's ready to party. An amazing header shot too. Great job Ivy!
ReplyDeleteHe's ready to party I should have said, tsk! LOL!
DeleteI love your sense of humour and these pictures are wonderful. Wish I had a Mr Potato `Head.
DeleteYour header is wonderful and I ldo like the peek inside your freezer.
Hugs, Neet xx
Hi Denise! Much, much thanks. lol. They did have a Mrs Potato Lady too! Five Below has so many cool minis for a fiver each. Fun shooting! For sure.
DeleteHi Neet! Do you have a local Five Below? If not, you might be able to find them on Amazon too. Thanks for stopping in today. Huggs, back.
DeleteWow, I love your creativity. The frozen food is perfect and "Thing's"picture made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteSue
Hi Sue. Much thanks. It's really fun to freeze food. Anything. I have more goodies like berries and crinkle-cut carrots that were fun to shoot too. Happy Shooting to you as well!
DeleteYou are having a lot of fun, I can tell. I get that way with my camera sometimes too. Those tomatoes in the first photo look cool. I love the frost on them. Have a super "fun" weekend.
