I've done very little posting or visiting this past week, but I'll soon be back to normal.
This will be a long post - maybe it will make up for my absence recently.
So far in this round of ABC Wednesday I've posted fossils. This week, for letter D, I want to post a dragon fossil.
Well, it isn't quite a fossil, more of a fake.
To start at the beginning, for Christmas in 2002 my daughter Viv sent me a present from Wales.
It was packed in this small wooden crate.
When I opened the crate I found papers.
And then I saw this lovely dragon.
This label was fixed to the back.
These are the front and back of the two papers in the crate. They will enlarge if you want to read them.
I love the way this "fossil" has been put together, and the work that's gone into the accompanying papers. It's a much-appreciated gift.
ABC Wednesday was started by Mrs Nesbitt. More D entries can be found on the ABC Wednesday no-comment blog, and on the ABC Wednesday Mr Linky blog.
All these pages are well worth visiting.
I'm also offering this to Melli for her Dragon Hunt which started last Sunday!

What a lot of work went into that gift. its a great post for the letter D.
Did you see that Granny Smith posted about Dragons too?
AMAZING! I love that you included the papers for us to read.

I use to sell them in the Celtic shop I managed.
My planned D for this week was inspired by you but never got out to photograph it - so maybe next time...

Lovely! The anticipation of opening a parcel is one I ambsolutely love! When I deliver a wedding commission I enjoy the packaging process more than anything else....oh apart from getting paid for it! LOL!
A fantastic 'D' post... and what gift that was for you..:O)
Ohhhhhhh my gosh! Your daughter is AMAZING to have FOUND that for you!!! I can't imagine a greater gift for a Dragonstar than this! You are right - the imagination and creativity that went into creating is what makes it SO much fun!!! I'm thinking I know a couple of people who may NEED an authentic dragon in their life... Thanks for this FABULOUS share!!!
That is so interesting how it's put together to look real. I love it and it's great for Melli's dragon hunt.
