once upon a time, there lived a teeny-tiny girl.

she lived in a teeny-tiny house in a teeny-tiny forest in a teeny-tiny world. she was so teeny-tiny that, to her, her house and her forest and her world seemed just the right size.

every so often, her world would shake and rattle. this startled the teeny-tiny girl at first, but soon she became accustomed to it.

she grew to love it because, as soon as the shaking would subside, snow would begin falling from the sky and the ground outside her home would slowly become covered in white. she thought it was the most beautiful thing ever.

every time it happened, she would run outside and let the flakes fall on her face and in her open mouth.

have you guessed where the teeny-tiny girl lived yet?

she lived in a snow globe!

    This is sooo SWEET, Elizabeth! You are a storyteller–in word, and in photo–did you know that? :o) I suddenly wouldn’t mind living in a snow globe… I’ll have to imagine snow globe living when it’s freezing and snowin’ & blowin’ here. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy Week, my friend ((HUGS))
