My name is Allison. I spend my time looking for inspiration when not creating it. No cynicism here- just my loves: animals, humor, encouragement, & other artists. If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in! -S.Silverstein Website Twitter sc_project=3574455; sc_invisible=1; sc_partition=41; sc_security="a678e644"; Tumblr (3.0; @gobe)http://gobe.tumblr.com/<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kur5xm4K8G1qz912ho1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.birdbook.org/" target="_blank">Andrew Zuckerman Photograph</a><a>s</a> originally tumbled by <a href="http://periodicalblah.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">periodicalblah</a>.
