Waving Tiger Animation Says Feel All Better Soon Noah

For Noah, love from Mom.Joan McCray, 2012

I know you're feeling a little better but I hope you feel ALL BETTER SOON!
I made this animation for you with a photo of a tiger I had drawn way back (remember?) 
Can you see the tiger waving and his tail wagging and him winking at you as he dances? (He really is, look closely and for a while at the paws and the tail and the eyes, lol.)
 I thought you might enjoy that I made you this special animation. Hopefully. :)

I love you tons!
Mom
P.S. It looks sharper in the video version. Will show you that asap. :)

Free Animation Software Today -- Woohoo! DP Animation Maker

If we could x-ray our thoughts and feelings???
(
c@ Joan McCray, All The World Is Art, 2012)
     I was -- and am -- so excited about today's free software Giveaway of the Day that I had to play around with it and make a simple animation before letting you know about it, lol.
      Don't worry, you have a few hours left to get it yourself, but just hurry and go get it today because you don't want to miss this offering!
     The crazy animated x-ray art above is what I made with it so far. It's going to be an illustration for my next Creative Prompt of the Day, plus I'll be revising as part of a mini movie to put on my new YouTube Channel when I get that up. Come back when I post the Creativity Prompt and you'll understand the radical animation more, lol.
Update: here's one I made the next day
 (see link for the whole prompt below.)
     Anyhow, this software would be handy for artists, filmmakers, website designers or owners, playful types, homeschool and classroom, business, you name it. 
     Here's how the publishers describe their super fun software. (Warning, once you start playing with it, it's really hard to stop, lol.)

Here's what I told them about the Giveaway on their site:

"I am thrilled about today's Giveaway! Thanks so much GOTD and Desktop Paints! I wrote a happy review (and posted the weird fun animation I made already with it so far, to test the program out) here: http://alltheworldisart-funcreativitygod.blogspot.com/2012/09/free-animation-software-today-woohoo-dp.html  Check it out! lol.
     It downloaded easily and works great in all respects on my Windows Laptop 7 x64. Saved 3 ways and gif, video etc. all work. (my video was only 60 seconds long.)
     I love how you can add different animations to whatever you want to include as background etc that you can make yourself. Next time I'm using one of my original artworks I drew as a background :)
     I pray pray pray I have it registered right...the empty box down there is a little confusing, but I don't have anything popping up asking me to register so hopefully...I agree that a downloadable pdf ebook manual would be wonderful :)
     I really want expansion pack, but broke as usual. Good marketing idea though.
     You've really made me...and I'm sure many of my followers on my website, happy with this! Bless you!"

Whistling Free "How To" Mp3 Plus Trivia, Memories etc.

     Whistle while you work! (Thank God for the movie which brought us this song...I can't tell you how many times I've used it in the past when my kids were little to encourage them to help clean up their toys, lol.)
     According to Wikipedia, "Whistle While You Work" is a song with music written by Frank Churchill and lyrics written by Larry Morey for the 1937 animated Disney movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was performed in the movie, at least unofficially, by voice actress Adriana Caselotti. It also is featured in the 1979 stage adaption of the 1937 animated musical movie."

     And it remains forever in my heart and memory banks, that's for sure.
     Just like memories of my kids' whistles do...
     I'm just ok at whistling, myself. But folks can tell I'm making a tune. Well, hopefully they can.
      My are super whistlers, and when I hear one of them whistling happily in the distance or whatever, it definitely makes me happy!
    Whistling brings up some fun memories for me. When all my kids were little, it was so cute watching them try to whistle, and then learn to whistle. We got so excited!
     My father is fantastic at that super-loud whistle you can make with 2 fingers in your mouth while blowing. It makes such a shrieking sound that the whole room -- or store  -- or parking lot -- or Disneyland -- takes notice, that's for sure.

(This photo is from Wikipedia showing  some whistling steps. It's NOT my dad, lol.)
     He likes doing it at the most unexpected times. He has surprised plenty a calm person, lol.
     Today's offering over at Homeschool Freebie of the Day should help you if you know of any kids who want to whistle, whether homeschooled or not! I don't know if it teaches that "shrieking variety", but it'll be fun for kids of all most ages, plus of course the young at heart.
Here's how they describe the freebie MP3:

"It’s summer, and your kids are looking for something to do. Well, here’s something unique that will keep them busy for a loooong time. This is a TERRIFIC 7 minute audio explaining and demonstrating how to do all sorts of whistling tricks, bird calls, etc." Click here to go download your copy:

You can also show the kids this whistling duck and look up some fun facts about it as an impromptu animal sciences lesson!
