Indigo Bunting

While I realize that this is not the best picture of all, these little birds were out on my back patio today. (I got this photo through the kitchen window, so it is grey from the screen.) There were about 6 of them, and I have been trying to get a better picture of them all afternoon, but everytime I get to the back door to get a quick picture, they fly away. Mom looked them up in her bird book for me when I called, and then since I couldn't see her book over the phone, I looked up her two prospective types up online. There are some beautiful pictures of them online, and I have never seen this bird before. I usually just have cardinals, finches, wrens, and chickadees out back, and even this week saw a dove. You can see that all the birds have really knocked the birdseed out of the feeder and all over the ground. I'm going to have to get a bird bath to put out now too. :)

Spring Break - Day 2

Hello!

Right now I can see and hear the cutest little birds that have taken up residence under my carport. They are just singing away - and it is just a sweet, sweet little sound. :)

I have made two additions to my living room today.

The first is one of Stampin' Up's fabulous decor elements. I fell in love with this tree and had to have it for my house. I put it in the living room above the couch. I want to add something else to it, I'm just not sure what yet.



The second is something sort of a splurge - but totally worth it. I think Audrey Hepburn was FABULOUS, and now I have her in my living room. :)



It makes my just smile whenever I see it. Mom was with me when I bought it at Target Sunday. Not that I really needed a fabulous picture of Audrey, but she certainly makes a statement.

I haven't done a whole lot on day 2 of spring break. Hung a few more decor elements that I had purchased for the house, and now I think I am going to go craft something.

Some friends and I are going to paint wine glasses Thursday afternoon. That should be fun. I'll have to post pictures of how they turn out. (Let's hope they look good...)

Have a great afternoon! :)

Birdie says hello! :)

A sweet little bird card that I made with some new goodies for my big shot. :) I used the new texture plates and the tag dies. The bird is one of the sweet new stamp sets from this new catalog.

I hope that you are all having a great start to the week, and to March! :) Spring break is next week and I can't wait!

Hola Lola...

:) You know I love to say that. *haha*

Just checking in. I finally photographed a few of the cards that I have made lately and wanted to share with you.



I had to have this set for the cute little bees. :)

I have to go back to court in this getting-messy custody case tomorrow. I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to contribute, but so goes life.

I'm heading to bed, I hope you all have a wonderful night and keep on stamping! ;)

Happy President's Day!

I hope that you had a happy President's Day. Not that today was a large celebration, but at our little elementary school - it was by far a great day!

This year we have been learning all the president's names in jumpstart. The kids have been able to name them all for a couple of weeks, and today they got to have a fantastic celebration! Some of our students got to dress up as the presidents and first ladies, and we had a "Parade of Presidents" today. We even had our local congressman in from Washington to come and speak to our students. Very nice - VERY nice. He seemed so happy to be at our school and meet all of our teachers. The kids are so happy that they have reached this goal! I know that I couldn't name all of the presidents before this year. LOL!! They say we are always learning, right? Two of my students got to be presidents - so cool!

Don't know if I posted this card (I don't think so) and since it is still pretty close to love day, thought I would share this little card with you!



There are some crazy things going on for me this week, so please say a little prayer for me Wednesday, and please pray for my friend Patti, who lost her mother last week. She is a dear scrapbook friend, and I know that she needs to feel God's love and support around her at this time.

Have a wonderful week! I will try really hard to get some scrapbook pages photographed for you. :)
