This is one of those pieces where I wanted to make something simple and it just kept growing.  I had to put my pump down at one point and just walk away so I would stop adding things.  Initially I was just going to make Pooh with a honey pot, then he needed a friend, then a tree, then the tree needed apples and a bee hive, then the hive needed not one, but three bees .... You get it.  

I'm happy with the way it turned out though!  (Not happy with the amount of time spent on it).  It was the first time I've used link-o-loons in a base as I usually use geo flowers, but I think I will use them more often as there are so many more attachment points.  Anyways, thanks for looking!

We all have our cross to bear, but some of us need more wood than others!

Thanks everyone.  :)

Yes, Balloonim I used small Link-o-Loon's for the floor.  I also twisted in 5" water-filled rounds on the underside of some of the connections to give it some weight.
