I love the spring time. Martha Stewart has this wonderful line of
paper flower hanging balls that can be made. Well I was to cheap
to purchase the kit so I went home and created this watercolor
illustration hee, hee, hee!

Kyle Kingsbury lives in New York City and has got it all; looks, money, popularity, and also a very pompous attitude towards life. However, Kyle’s perfect world slowly crumbles after Kendra, the weird goth girl, puts a curse on him after he plays a nasty trick on her. In a matter of days Kyle is transformed into a Beast not quite like any animal, but a monster with fur, fangs, and claws. After his transformation Kendra appears in a mysterious mirror left in Kyle’s room. Kendra tells Kyle that she’s really a witch and that in order to break the curse he has two years to find true love. If he fails he will be a Beast forever. At first Kyle doesn’t believe Kendra, and with his father’s help he searches the world for a cure, with no results. Ashamed of Kyle’s appearance his father locks him away in a brownstone in Brooklyn with a maid and a blind tutor. Ironically, the longer Kyle stays a Beast the more human he becomes. He learns to be more empathetic towards others, and even finds beauty in a mousy girl whom he wouldn’t have looked twice at before. However, will that be enough to help him find true love?
Flinn has a knack for writing an urban fairytale with so much wit, humor, and romance that you’ll keep on reading, even though you know what’s going to happen in the end. I was also delighted to find a brief history of the “Beast” fairytale in the back, which will be helpful for readers who are not fairytale aficionados.
Great idea!! heh heh! I'd love to stop by and have a cuppa under those beautiful flowers!! (and maybe a cookie or two!!) :) I love your stuff V.
Hey Michelle, You know how it is. I love Martha Stewart, but sometimes it can be so darn expensive, but I love the idea of flowers hanging! Thanks so much!
Very springy and fun. I think I may have to go look at Martha's now. Good job.
Martha has nothing on you, girl!!!
Pretty! And I'm so much like that too . . . If I know I can make it myself, I'd much do it myself than fork out some money.
