PROOF POSITIVE THERE WAS NO HANGING PERSON IN THE WIZARD OF OZ

This video was made to prove positive that HANGING MUNCHKINS video is a FAKE. This is a 1985 VHS video of the WIZARD OF OZ. This video is one year older than HANGING MUNCHKINS. It shows a BIRD not a person HANGING. This video was made before the 50th Anniversary edition. And all videos made before 1989, have the scenes from Kansas in BLACK and WHITE not in SEPIA TONE like they do now. This is proof positive that this video is PRE-1989!

If I Only Had a Heart

!±8± If I Only Had a Heart

I know you probably have heard of the movie,
"The Wizard of Oz" right? Well, for those of you,
who have somehow managed to miss this movie,
let me give you a brief description of it.

A young lady named Dorothy is upset with her
home life and decides to run away. But before
she can get very far, a tornado strikes. Her
entire house flies away in the cyclone. She
lands in a land called Oz.

Now, all of a sudden, Dorothy wants to get home.
When she was home, she wanted to run away. Isn't
that just like us? We are never happy.

Anyway, she learns that the only person who
could help her get home is The Wizard and he
lives in Emerald City (am I confusing The Wizard
of Oz with The Wiz?)

Nevertheless, on her journey to meet
The Wizard, she meets a scarecrow,
a tin man and a lion, each of who decides
to join her on her journey to meet The Wizard.
They figured if he was going to do something
for her, then perhaps he could do something
for them too.

See the scarecrow needed a brain. The tin man
needed a heart and the lion needed courage.
They figured The Wizard would be able to give
them what they needed.

They take you through this long journey through
The Land of Oz, where it becomes apparent to
everyone except the individual that he already
has exactly what he is looking for but he doesn't
believe he has it.

The scarecrow, who believed he didn't have
a brain, was the one who came up with all
the ideas and was able to defeat The Wicked
Witch of the West (or was it East?)

The tin man was so sensitive and cried so
much that everyone but him could tell he
had a heart of gold and the lion, defended
and defeated everyone who came in their path.
He, too, had what he was looking for--courage.

I tell this story because I was watching it
the other day with Erica and Eli and it reminded
me about how so many of us are today.

We settle for anything and everything because
we believe we do not have what it takes to be
successful. We believe we are not skilled,
or smart enough, or strong enough to get the
job done. Yet, if we were to ask others, people
who know us well, what they thought we were good
at, they could run off an entire list of things
that we can do well. And, when we hear the list
of things that others think we excel at, we
deny it. We say, "No, not me. I couldn't do that.
For real? You think so?" We find it hard to believe.

So we continue to search for The Wizard.
And when we find him, we discover that he
is just a nice, old man standing behind
curtains working a Wizard machine and that
everything we ever needed was right inside
of us all along.

What are you seeking that appears to be
out of reach?

What do you desire for your life?

What do you really wish to do but feel
you do not have what it takes to accomplish it?

Chances are you do have it. You already have
all that you will ever need to be the person
you desire to be. All it takes is for you to
recognize it, claim it, and visualize your
way to success.

See, in the movie The Wizard of Oz it wasn't
until The Wizard, or nice, old man behind
the curtains gave the scarecrow a piece of paper,
the tin man a golden locket, and the lion a medal
of honor, that they started to believe in themselves.

Are you that person who needs a picture-framed
diploma hanging around your office before you
believe you have what it takes?

Then make one up yourself.

You have a computer. You can put together a
certificate. Make it say whatever you want
it to say. Say something like, "I, Dawn Fields,
am certified to Do, Be and Have ANYTHING I desire.
I am fully capable and able to do whatever it
is that I wish to do with my life--RIGHT NOW,
in this VERY moment. So long as I invite the
God that is within to go along for the ride."

Now go out and be the best that you can be.

Cinderella Slipper Jewellery Box

!±8± Cinderella Slipper Jewellery Box

Cinderella is a popular Christmas pantomime. It's a heart-warming tale where the handsome prince whisks the girl off her feet and saves her from her evil stepmother and the ugly sisters. There's a lot of fun with Buttons and all the 'He's behind you' traditions of a Christmas panto.

Cinderella of course looses her Glass Slipper, which is how her handsome prince eventually finds her. Every would-be princess should have one of these cute Cinderella slipper jewellery boxes, however this one is made from card and plastic not glass.

All you will need is:

Thin card, A clear round plastic bottle, paint, glue, pegs, Selotape and fur fabric. Don't forget to print out the pattern for the pieces (the link below will take you to the pattern that you can print out).

Cut out the pattern pieces

To begin, the main part of the slippers needs to be cut out. Fold the piece of card in half and draw around the pattern piece with the 'toe' of the pattern on the fold of the card so that the main piece turns out to be a long symmetrical piece. Join this piece in a loop with some selotape at the heel. Curve the toe and heel as necessary to form a shoe shape. Curve the toe end and cut out a slipper sole from card using the pattern and score the fold marks. Now fold them. These folds allow the sole to fit around the shaping of the main part.

Put the sole in place on the bottom of the slipper and hold it in place with some selotape.

Cover the outside of the slipper with one layer of paper mache, to give the slipper a nice surface to paint. Once the paper mache is dry, paint the slipper in the desired colour.

Cut out a second main part, but this time put the heel on the fold. Cut out this piece to be slightly smaller all around.

Stick this main part onto a piece of fur fabric which is 1cm larger than the card all round, except at the heel shaping. Put some glue on the over hanging fabric and bend it over the card and stick it on the other side of the card. Use pegs to hold it in place until the glue dries.

Cut out a second card sole (again cut out this piece to be slightly smaller all around) and cover one side of it in fur fabric as you did for the main part.
When the glue is dry remove all the pegs. Glue the fur sole inside the slipper at the bottom. Then curve the fur main around and glue it in place inside the slipper.

To make the top of Cinderella's slipper cut out a top piece in card and paint one side the same colour as the base. Cut out two more slightly smaller top pieces. Cover one with fur fabric as you did with the other slipper parts and leave it to dry.

Cut the top and bottom of a clear round fizzy drinks bottle and cut up the middle so that the bottle opens out flat. Wash and dry the bottle. Selotape the slipper upper to the plastic and cut it out.

Glue the marked part (Sticking Edge) of the slipper upper so that it curves round and sticks to the underside of the painted top. Use bits of Selotape to hold the plastic in place until the glue dries. Stick the third top piece over the selotape and bottle bits. Hold in place with pegs.

Finally, stick the fur-covered top on the underside of the top piece with the plastic. This is now the lid to the Cinderella jewellery box.

You could make the slipper all from card and cover it in red glitter to make a ruby slipper from the Wizard of Oz.
