The Truffula Tree

I really loved the Lorax. Such a cute movie! I think I would be stoked to see a forest of candy-colored truffula trees. So today I got a package from ebay (my secret addiction... ok, maybe not so secret). I had a feeling it was the fabric I ordered for an upcoming newborn shoot and I was right. With a squeal of glee I pulled it out of the box and fur went flying! Long, fine, aqua-colored fibers scattered all over the floor, the couch, and me. It was already nearly time to get my youngest two from school, so I folded my new treasure and put it in the closet before rushing out the door.

When the kids walked in they noticed the aqua "leaves" immediately. My youngest cried "what is that?" To which I replied "Truffula leaves. I got a Truffula tree today!" They both stared at me with wide eyes and started to look around... presumably to spot the new tree. My 8 year old gave his little sister a skeptical look and proclaimed that there are NO Truffula trees. She just put her bag down and grinned at him. "Uh huh, look in there!" She had opened my prop closet door and spotted the neatly folded fabric.

I can't wait to use my new "Truffula leaves"! :)
