Congratulations! I've also gone and voted for you

Ive just voted for you too! Jemimah is so adorable, i almost forgot that it was just your fantastic skill in puppetry and ventriloquism that was making her so cute!!

Thanks so much for the support and Jeezbo I appreciated your kind words too! This has been so exciting. In fact even my mom has been telling people about this! My mother has had a hard time with my current occupation - she could accept me being a teacher, but when I retired from teaching to travel as a ventriloquist she really couldn't figure it out! So hearing from people who say that my mom told them about this is quite touching for me!

Got my vote in for today!

...ventriloquist she really couldn't figure it out....

Ok am I the only one that finds that just a little funny?

Ha-ha-ha! Didn't catch that as I was writing it!

Went and voted. I loved the nonsense of a pet snowball. The kids obviously enjoyed it as well. I had to watch all the videos, there are some pretty talented kids out there.

Chris, thanks for voting and yes there are some pretty talented kids out there! - I should tell you that the idea of a pet snowball is loosely based on my childhood. You see one summer I found a small tumbleweed rolling across the road and I adopted it as my pet. I gave it a name and pushed it around in my baby buggy! I know - strange child I was! But hey, I was able to give life to inanimate objects even back then!

Love the tumbleweed story! Voted!

The nice thing about pet tumbleweeds is that it's cheap to feed them, and they don't leave piles and puddles around.

But my mom still didn't let me keep it!
