I've never heard the story of the Juniper Tree. Very... odd.
As for Cinderella, they kept mentioning that the slipper was not actually glass, but probably silk. I read long ago that the slipper was made of fur, and that a mistranslation is why it became glass, or "as valuable as glass".

Unfortunately I haven't had time to do any serious kinda art stuff lately, so it doesn't look like I'll be contributing to the monthly theme.

Me too, I been working and such and when I have time for myself I been playing never winter.LOL well I said it was an option so no biggy.
