Random Bits

Hi!

Today is a very special day for me and the hubs. Today we've been married for 21 years! I can't believe how fast these years have flown by and how fortunate we are to share such a strong bond. I'd marry him all over again in a heartbeat! He's truly my better half! Happy anniversary Dan-O!

For the past couple weeks we've been witness to a pair of Carolina wrens nesting in this bird house hung up outside our kitchen window. We think it's the same pair from last year. It's been awesome to watch them building their nest and mom nesting while dad brings her food. Before you know it, you can hear little peeping sounds when the chicks hatch.

Carolina wren parents both share in feeding the babies. This photo was taken just hours before they fledged.

Here's one of the little ones on the ground just after leaving the nest. See the down sticking out of its head? Sorry the pictures aren't more clear. Hubs took them quite a distance away, inside the house.

Here's one of the parents watching over baby and instructing it to fly up into the tree. Good luck little ones!

Another share today...I have a card scheduled to be posted on the Card Annex blog today.

Here's a little peek for you.

Well, we're right around the corner from another glorious spring weekend. I'm looking forward to it! The weather has been glorious and it's a treat to spend time outside in the yard.

Thanks for visiting! :)

July Fourth Mailbox & Card

T.G.I.F!

It's a bright and beautiful red, white and blue day here on the ol' blog today. Remember the project peeks I posted last week for Bella Blvd's new All American line? Today I get to show you the entire projects!

I think this line is perfect for Fourth of July decor! What do you think?

I really had a blast creating projects with this line! There's so many coordinating accents to play with! To see more from this awesome new collection, visit Bella Blvd.

Before I close, I'd like to share a peek of a card I have posted over at Card Annex.

If you have a moment to check it out and leave some love, that would make my day! Card Annex has a lot of great contributors and is a fun place to spend some time looking around!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous Friday! :)

Cards on Thursday

It's a Bella Blvd. Cards on Thursday kind of day! And a bright and sunny day too! I'm lovin' it and I've been dying to show off my first couple cards using newly released CHA product from Bella Blvd!

This first card was created with the Love and Marriage collection and one of the gorgeous new Feathers. What do you think of this line? Ooh la la, right?!?! 

This card was created with the new Engaged at Last collection. And another yummy feather! What do you think of the new feathers? If you enjoy texture and dimension, they are a must have!

Before I go I should let you know I have a My Mind's Eye 'My Girl' creation up on the Card Annex blog for you too! Lots of goodies today, huh? ;)

Enjoy!

You & Me

Good day!

Thanks everyone for your visit yesterday and to those who left comments for my Love Letters card! I really enjoyed hearing from you! :)

Are you ready for another crafty share?

I've been in the mood to work with bright colors and fun patterns lately and this card was created with the Seen and Noted collection from Pebbles. This line includes these cool pocket and tags that I used to hide a  little message. Do you like that element?

Before I go, I'd like to tell you about another card I made to share with you on the Card Annex blog. I hope you have a moment to take a look. Do you recognize the product used for this card? Any guesses before you go?

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day! :)
