A few years ago I was in a photo "treasure" hunt where each month we were given a list of things to photograph and post it back on the website. One of the things to photograph was a flamingo. The goal was to be as creative as possible. We could get a real flamingo or a fake flamingo the only rule was a picture of a flamingo. That's about the time I became obsessed with everything flamingo. I think they are so funny! Utah use to have a flamingo at the Great Salt Lake that escaped from the local aviary. Instead of re-capturing the flamingo they let him live there. Every winter Floyd the Flamingo could be seen at the Great Salt Lake among the seagulls and other birds. I'm not sure if Floyd has been sited recently but I've been out to the Great Salt Lake many times to see if I could see him (no luck).
My mom is great at "helping" us with our addictions/collections. When I was younger I thought the Russ Trolls were so cute. Every chance I had to buy one I did. I acquired quite a collection of Trolls and my mom facilitated my collection by keeping a list of all my top Troll wants and buying them for me whenever possible.
With my flamingo obsession she's back to her old tricks. One day I was having a really bad day when there was a knock at my door. This was standing there:
I called my mom to find out if she left it and she denied everything, even though later I did find out she left it to cheer me up.
My aunt bought me this one from Build-A-Bear.
And this one my mom bought for me just because it was funny.
I also found this scrapbook paper at the store and immediately bought it even thought I'm not sure how I'll scrapbook with such a crazy background, it's just fun to have around.
So there you go that's my most recent obsession/addiction.

I never knew you had a flamingo obsession. Have you been hiding it from me? I'll keep my eyes peeled.
I love knowing people's obsessions!!! You know I'm going to comment and bug you everytime I see something cute that's a flamingo. Because if there is one thing I love in this life - it's having mini "missions!!!"
Did you know that you can adopt a flamingo at the zoo?
The crazy things they think of!
Cute scrapbooking paper.
I always love how when people find out about something you like then that is all you gte for years on end. My granmother liked frogs and has two whole ROOMS dedicated to everything frongs. My mom was ducks until she got so much duck stuff she started to hate them. Now her house is duck free. My MIL loves polor bears and I am guilty of seeing something polor bear and getting for her because it is juts so cute. I went through stages. Cows, pigs, bears, horses but now its kitties. Everything kitties I love.
My sister is was a Beenie Baby FREAK for YEARS. UG.
I heart Flamingo's. HEART THEM.
So what I hear you saying is that you have a flamigo fetish? Right? Do you want to talk about it?
LOL. Erika's comment made me laugh! I think your new obsession is so funny--but my fave are the trolls. EVERY time I see one, I think of you! (although it is kinda creepy to walk into a room with 200 tiny trolls staring at you with freakish hair!!)
; )
