Many Thanks!

Another card in a box but this one is a petite size that will fit in a standard envelope which is always good!.  The other ones I have made are larger and takes anywhere from $.80 to $1.20 for postage depending on the embellishments.  My sister, Chris at callalilystudioblog.blogspot.com told me about this petite size at Tanya Bell blog.  She gives a good tutorial on how to make this smaller version of card in the box.

This card is a thank you to my former boss who moved to New Hampshire and he and his wife sent my husband and I a big box of Honeybells from Florida.  A little bit of Florida during this cold winter is always welcome.  The Honeybells are unbelievable juicy!!!  Love, love, love them!  I remember that they like bird watching and so does my husband so I wanted to make this one with birds. The paper and punches are from SU.  The flowers are from prima.   It won't be long (I hope) before spring will be here! I can't wait for the birds to start singing!! and warm sunshine!!

Closer look!
Frequent visitor!

Gold Finches At My Window

I have forgotten how brillant in color the Gold Finches are!  The males are a gorgeous brillant yellow!  Someone from work was telling me that May 5th is the day to put out grape jelly for the Orioles.  I am going to give it a try next week and see if we can get any to come this year. We have seen chickadees, cardinals (but only 1), and woodpeckers.  I'll keep you posted on the Orioles!
