Robin's Nest...

Hi there!

More signs of spring in your corner of the world?
One sign of spring are the chirping robins out and
about.  And, we had an awesome discovery this
afternoon!  One brave robin built a nest right
near our front door.  There is not much
shelter for those gorgeous robin eggs, so we'll
have to keep an eye on them from any predators.
I pray these sweet little robins do well and grow
into beautiful fine birds!  Ok...here is the photo
I have to share with you....

So, you can see by the photo there is not much shelter
at all.  I was quite surprised to see a robin's nest in
this scraggly evergreen.  We were thinking about
cutting it down this year.  But, we certainly won't
cut it down until after the little sweeties hatch.  I'll
keep you posted.  Doesn't  little nature surprises
put a smile on your face?  It sure does for me!
Take care friends, hugs!:-)

Kind words...

Hi Friends,

It's a lovely spring day here in NW Ohio with the
temp of 73.  I'm here in my craft room making
more thank you cards.  But, as soon as I get done
posting here, I'm going to go out and enjoy this
lovely weather! 

I recently purchased a Verve stamp with the
most appropriate words.  You just wouldn't believe
how your kind words and actions can deeply affect
someone.  I love how Ellen DeGeneres always states
at the end of her show...."Be kind to one another".
In light of all the recent tragedy we've experienced
as a country a little kindess goes a long way!  My
thoughts and prayers go out to those in Boston,
Texas, and to whomever is hurting at this time.

I made two cards exactly as the one pictured on
the right.  I ran out of green paper and had to
go with a different idea for the card on the left.
I really like how the one on the left turned out.
What do you think?  Which one is your favorite?

Ok, that's it for now from my craft corner of
NW Ohio.  I hope all is well with you!  Thank
you so much for dropping by!  Take care and
God Bless!

Hi there!

I hope all is well  with you!

I just wanted to share with you a couple of thank
you cards that I made.  Please excuse the poor photo
quality.  There are dark clouds everywhere here.  I
believe we are in for a thunder storm.  I do have
one red tulip that bloomed.  And, seeing that this
morning put a smile on my face. :-)  I hope to see my
yellow tulips blooming very soon, too.  April showers
bring May flowers!  So, I welcome the rain.  This
post is short and sweet for I have several more
cards to make.  Thanks so much for dropping by
today!  Take care, hugs!
