Since 2005 there has been a holiday called Wombat Day observed on 22 October, at the beginning of the traditional aboriginal spring planting season.
Normally the Wombanians…Binky, Winky, Twink and Fraz would be holding a chocolate wombat cake, but Winky ate it before the picture was taken. So later, Twink mixed up another cake batch, but when she slipped off to the check the mail before she put it in the oven, Winky added all the same ingredients so the batch would double. Then Fraz and Binky came along and did the same thing. Neither of them new what the other did. But Twink new one, or all of them did something to the cake when it came out of the oven so big it wouldn’t fit on a plate . But it’s all good, because once the cake cools they can all dig in and eat it right out of the oven.
*
Then later on Twink sent Tink and Dink to the store to get a chocolate cake for them for the big celebration watercolor painting….Yay!
For Wombat Day 2012…a watercolor paintings.

Enjoy the big celebration at Wombania

But you got to help these Wombies eat this cake that’s too big for a plate…lol
Have a fun day, Princess! xo
Tony McGurk
/ October 19, 2012Hey you’re 3 days early. But I guess that gives the Wombiees more time to enjoy the cake. I didn’t know about the Aboriginal planting season. I finished planting all my veggies last week. I guess it’ll be ok though as I didn’t plant any Aboriginals yet
Deb
/ October 19, 2012Yes, of course. No need to wait to the last minute to have a little fun!
You sure love gardening, Tony! xx
Binky
/ October 20, 2012Did you plant any Wombies?
Deb
/ October 21, 2012🙂
Tony McGurk
/ October 21, 2012No room left. I planted 4 aboriginals today & now the garden’s full
Binky
/ October 22, 2012But Wombies are so much fun! Maybe next year.
Deb
/ October 22, 2012I say plant a crop of them! 🙂
Binky
/ October 28, 2012Maybe he did. Tony’s now got wombats in his comic!
Deb
/ October 28, 2012Good point, Binky! 🙂
writerwendyreid
/ October 19, 2012Cool painting Deb. Yeah wombat day! 🙂
Deb
/ October 21, 2012Thanks Wendy! 🙂 xo
Binky
/ October 19, 2012Wombat Day Weekend Party has officially begun!
That extra-plump wombat cake was quite delicious!
Great painting of us, Deb. That second cake didn’t last very long, either. But Twink says she’ll be baking all weekend, so there should be enough cake for everyone. As long as Winky controls his appetite.
Happy early Wombat Day!
Deb
/ October 20, 2012I thought I noticed this morning the over-sized cake was gone. 😉 Good thing Twink likes to bake a lot. 🙂 Remind her to put the Pancake maker on full speed too! 🙂
Twink
/ October 20, 2012The pancake machine has been running on Turbo speed all day!
Deb
/ October 21, 2012I bet Winky is lovin that!
Twink
/ October 21, 2012I haven’t heard a peep out of him all weekend.
Deb
/ October 21, 2012That’s because his Cake hole it full of your cake and pancakes, Twink! 🙂
Twink
/ October 22, 2012And that’s the way I like it!
Deb
/ October 22, 2012Keep them pancakes coming then, Twink! Listen, sweetie, I’m going to have to make sure you get all the turbo kitchen gadets so you can keep the boys happy without you getting over-worked. 😉
Twink
/ October 28, 2012Is it Christmas already? That would be wonderful!
Deb
/ October 28, 2012Almost, Twink!…Hope your getting ready! 🙂
Winky
/ October 19, 2012Cake cake cake!!
Wombat Day Weekend is the best weekend of the year!
Deb
/ October 20, 2012Yes, and it’s all about you, Winky!…Yay Winky! 🙂
Winky
/ October 20, 2012All about me and the wombats! Yay wombats!
Deb
/ October 22, 2012It’s all about love, fun, and laughter!…yaaaaay! 🙂
Novroz
/ October 20, 2012happy wombat day Deb 🙂
Twink
/ October 20, 2012Same to you, Novroz!
Deb
/ October 21, 2012Thank you, Novroz…same to you! 🙂
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012This looks like a wonderful feast, Deb.
I bet Winky and Fraz have their
plates and napkins at the ready 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012Fraz and Winky are always ready to eat! 🙂 And it looks like Winky ate up a good bit of the oversize cake that wouldn’t fit on a plate too. 😉
But luckily, Twink has her handy, dandy pancakes maker to keep everyone full and happy. 🙂
Winky
/ October 20, 2012I always have my plate ready when there’s cake to be eaten!
Deb
/ October 20, 2012I guess this weekend your plate will be ready quite often. 🙂
Winky
/ October 20, 2012It will be very very tired by the end of Monday, that’s for sure!
Deb
/ October 21, 2012But as long as you are awake, you will be able to take one more bite! 🙂
Winky
/ October 22, 2012I’m awake as long as there’s cake!
Deb
/ October 22, 2012I guess you’re going to be awake for a while….there’s lots of cake to go around for everyone. 🙂
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Great I was hoping that Twink would be up for the challenge, it’s nearly Monday and Wombat Day 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012I know, but I couldn’t wait til then for a celebration. And neither could my Dink and Tink.
Twink will be quite busy from now till Monday night….she’ll need a vacation after it’s over. 😉
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012I am sure that you will already be painting her the most perfect holiday escape, wow she will be so pleased 🙂
Have a lovely start to your afternoon Deb 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012She has one already right here…a beach house, but she may get another one day for being such a great cook!
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Yes I know about the beach house,
I was thinking of another one for her 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012Yes, I really enjoy painting them new beach houses, Binky has two now, so it will only be fair for the others as well. 🙂
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Yes I agree, and they will adore whatever you give them Deb 🙂 Fraz for President, how is he getting along with the voting now? I have clicked that about five times already 🙂 lol
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012I know, they’re always so appreciative of the gifts you and I give them.
Fraz is in the lead with a total of 20 votes so far….I guess 5 are yours then. 🙂 One of his biggest fans too 🙂
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Yes well we have to make sure that he wins 🙂 lol
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012With you and I on his side he can’t loose. 🙂
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012That’s true, I think I need to draw something for Wombat Day 🙂 Well if I get the chance…
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012You still have lots of time too!…You must for our little friends! 🙂
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012I will see what I can do 😉 lol
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012You know I’m going to love whatever you do, and not just because you are my, great friend, but because you have such a wicked imagination! 🙂
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Thank you Deb, hey you haven’t seen
it yet, it could be hopeless you know? 😦
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012No it won’t. All your art has your style screaming all over it…I want you to do one. And believe me when I say, ‘I already know I’ll like it!” 🙂
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Okay I will have a go next 🙂 lol
No idea what I am going to draw
yet but I will think of something 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012I have all the faith in the world in you! 😉
Hugs xxx
Binky
/ October 20, 2012So do I, Andro! And your drawing turned out very well indeed!
Well, except for that stray arm thing.
Androgoth
/ October 22, 2012I like how you have added this
one to the top of your page Deb
and how wonderful it looks too 🙂
Your Wombat Cake is awesome,
well all of your Wombie paintings
are, and that goes without saying 🙂
Have a Happy Wombat Day Deb 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 22, 2012Oh they had to be brought to the top of the post page for Wombat Day!
Thanks Andro, have a big slice of it. The oven is still full of cake!
xxx
Twink
/ October 20, 2012Those rascals should stay out of my kitchen! And out of my cake!
Happy Wombat Day!
Deb
/ October 20, 2012I don’t think they can resist the wonderful aromas, Twink. And the knowing of how good it will be just makes them all the more frisky. 🙂
Twink
/ October 20, 2012That’s true, but how am I supposed to make all those famous Wombat Day treats when they won’t stay out of my hair?
Deb
/ October 21, 2012Send them over to Binky’s Beach House, where there’s lots of chocolate all the time. And Dink, Winky’s close cousin can take him and Fraz exploring. 🙂
Twink
/ October 21, 2012I’m sending them all to Binky’s beach house!
Deb
/ October 22, 2012Great, I know they’ll stay out of you way when over there. I gave Tink cab fair so she will be able to look after Dink and the other Wombies if they want to Wombat Day party hop! 🙂
Twink
/ October 28, 2012Thanks, Deb! You always know what a girl needs!
Deb
/ October 28, 2012Us girls got to help each other out when there’s work to be done. 😉
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Hey I hope you like my latest Wombie
drawing I’ve just added it and thank you
for prompting me towards doing one 🙂
Have a fun evening
my great friend 🙂 😉
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012Heading over there now! 🙂
Deb
/ October 20, 2012Just left your site…They look great, Andro! I love it! I know that Peter will love it too…big time!
Hey, your welcome, but you would have done one anyways….I know you would have! 😉 😉
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012I was going to do one before Monday but I am pleased that you asked me to add one today as
it is getting very close to Wombat day now 🙂 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012Best we get ours out early anyway, because come Sunday night the internet may start flooding with Wombat Day postings. 🙂
You did a great job, Andro!!
Hugs ♥ XXx
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Thank you Deb, I agree because I think
that Bearman and Tony are doing something
and of course Ch will more than likely add
another one too, and there are plenty of
other Wombie fans out there just waiting
to add their art and special wombie pressies 🙂
Thank you for your kind thoughts as always 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012That’s right, Andro. And if you read through the comments you see that some have made comments about me being early. No one has ever said stuff like that before if I post early for other holidays….just this one. So we’ll just have to wait and see. But like you I believe will see lots of posts about it! 🙂
Hugs ♥ XXx
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012It doesn’t matter if we are early as long as we are taking part in it and we always have so it’s nice to have a build up to Wombat Day, and I know Peter appreciates everything that everyone has to offer, so whether we add something early or not, well it doesn’t matter as it’s all part of the same thing 🙂 🙂
Have a very nice evening Deb and I can’t think of anyone that has added as much as you towards Wombania, so keep up the great work and more importantly just enjoy it, I always do 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012The main reason why I did post early is because I want to spend most of my time at Wombania when they have their big day!
I know Peter appreciate it…he such a kind person and good friend.
You have a nice evening too. I think I’m going to play around with themes for a while, so if you drop in again, or a few times it might look different each time if you catch me messing with them….lol Maybe I’ll try a white one!…who knows.
Love ya!
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 20, 2012Yes have fun on that, there are a lot of new one’s to choose from and I know you are a perfectionist, so it could take you a few hours to find the right choice, mind you I know that you will, and happy hunting Deb 🙂 😉
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 20, 2012Well you know me, my mood changes and I change my blog. So if I set up several I can just switch them for whatever mood I’m in that day…lol Hey, is all good fun. 🙂
You have yourself a wicked evening, my friend. It ought to be getting close to watching a late, late show or a dvd.
Hugs ♥ XXx
Binky
/ October 20, 2012You two always say the nicest things!
And do such nice things, too.
Happy Early Wombat Day!
Deb
/ October 21, 2012And we both mean every word of it, Binky!
We love you guys!
Happy Wombat Day!….Yaaaaaay!
Binky

frigginloon
/ October 22, 2012HAPPY WOMBAT DAY Deb. Sheez, seems I am a little late. Sorry, eating too much chocolate. There is an amnesty you know 🙂
Deb
/ October 22, 2012Happy Wombat Day, Loon! And don’t you worry about being late, it’s still pretty early in the morning of the Big day! There’s lots of Wombat parties to attend so I know you’ll be hopping around…okay, buzzing around. 🙂
Yes, I know, all is forgiven for those that have a love for Wombies, Wombats, and lots of fun! 🙂
spilledinkguy
/ October 22, 2012Happy Wombat Day, Deb!
I don’t think I needed another excuse to eat more cake, but it would be difficult to come up with a better one than this!
🙂
Deb
/ October 22, 2012Wombie food won’t get you fat of full on Wombat Day!…It’s a rule you know. 🙂
Sabina Brave
/ October 22, 2012Happy Wombat day Debbie 🙂
What kind of paper, you are using for watercolors?
Hugs,
xx
Deb
/ October 22, 2012Canson 140 lb coldpress watercolor paper. I buy the pack of 30 sheets here, and cut them to the size I like to get more out of it….here is the link where I buy it: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/paper/drawing-and-multimedia-paper-and-boards/canson/student-drawing-paper-pads/xl-drawing-pads.htm
Now if I was doing a commissioned art piece I would use a higher quality paper, but the one above is suitable for everyday use for my fun.
Happy Wombat Day! 🙂
Sabina Brave
/ October 22, 2012Thank you for explanation 🙂
Deb
/ October 22, 2012Your welcome…I hope if you paint something you will share with us. 🙂
Sabina Brave
/ October 22, 20121st I have to learn to paint with watercolors 😉
Deb
/ October 22, 2012The only way to learn is to do if often. 😉 🙂 Your own practice will be your best teacher. I think it would be nice if we could be in on your journey. 🙂
Deb
/ October 22, 2012If you have any questions don’t be afraid to ask. 🙂 I’d be happy to answer anything I can. 🙂
Sabina Brave
/ October 22, 2012I know, that I need to practice. I bought ordinary watercolors for the start.
Deb
/ October 22, 2012Nothing wrong with that. Did you get a pan set or tubes?
Red
/ October 22, 2012Happy Wombat Day! I hope you stop by for some yummies at M3. Bring Tink and Dink and the pups, too! ❤
