Mary had a little lamb Nursery Rhyme fun

MAARRR-EEEEEE!

That's Mary's teacher calling for her....

to get rid of that lamb!

Today I'm having fun with

the well known nursery rhyme -

Mary Had A Little Lamb

So you can hum along with me,

Here is the sheet music to the familiar song:

Now here's the second verse,

sung just like the first one.

Don't forget those repeats!

Here's another coloring page for you:

from About.com

Let's get out our snipping scissors,

and cut some scherensnitte rhyme!

Here is my cutting, using the above pattern:

I framed it using a vintage frame clipping, available from Dover.

Next is a book illustrated by one of my faves -
Tomie dePaola:

found at http://www.brighthub.com/

There were a couple of really cute coloring pages and 1 with the song at the bottom here,
but the site where I picked them up from didn't list the source,
and the 'source' sent me a letter saying I couldn't use it, not even if I gave them credit,
unless I provided only a small thumbnail (less than 200x200) and a direct link to their site,
and prior written notification and their prior approval.
Hmmm... no, that's not the purpose of my blog.
I do my blogs for everyone to enjoy, not to tout a specific website, or for you to get directed to web sites all over the place if you only want that one picture, etc.
I'm not in to ads either!
I DO try to list my sources as best I can, so you can check them out and see if there are other things you like from that site.
I really like the graphics and/or facts on several sites. My favorites are listed on the right of my blog. Please, check them out and have fun with them! I do!

Oh yes, and that source said they could change their policy at any time!
Oh people....can't we all just be honest and enjoy each other's uniqueness?

This is NOT one of them!
