For the birds........

I have been staying busy the last couple of days, just trying to pull myself together and adjust to one more change...I actually am doing ok. I thank you all my friends, for your support and emails....Art and sewing are good therapy...Don and I also went for a long motorcycle ride yesterday and then he took me to lunch..Being outside always helps my spirits.
I am in an mixed media art group and we had a birdhouse magnet swap so I made these today....Sometimes it is fun to play with paper and glue and paint...I like how they turned out....I am sending these three and getting three in return. They look really cute on the refrigerator.






A few days before the kids left, I also got a Vintage Vacation package in the mail from Angelina of Angelinascards.blogspot..... I feel bad it took me so long to post this, but things have been kind of crazy. I sent her the vintage mermaid bag and things...It is funny, cause we both went with blue and the beach...










It is always so fun to get other people's work...Especially when it is different than anything I make. Angelina's cards are really beautiful. She made me tags, a package of pink notecards with a retro beach beauty, a shell wreath and a delicate little crepe paper tree...She also sent me two candles and a candleholder....It all goes so well with my mermaid package that I won from Holly about a week ago! I have it all together in our bedroom and it is so pretty...A little taste of home here in Utah. Here is a close up of the tree....










I have made some other things too, but they are works in progress so I will save them for later...Tonight I am going to work on a pincushion...I got some really fun fabrics to mix and match..Thanks again everyone! I appreciate you!
