FANCIFUL BIRD BOOK FROM BOBBI NESSLY

This tiny bird book was made by Bobbi Nessly. I love small books. This one only has five pages...I got cheated or one of the birds flew away... Paulette's page with a duck...
Anita gave me a beautiful golden quail...
Gail gave me a parade of ducks...
Rebecca gave me a beautiful singing crow...
Janice gave me a bluebird of happiness...

Thank you all for sending me these fun birds in this sweet little book...does this mean they are harbingers of Spring?

VALENTINES!!!!

The ATC with the tied up heart is from Vada Schutz of Mid West Stampers. Vada also sent me the Valentine on the right with the little children. I have never seen such a beautifully made card. It has SIX layers on the cover (click to see details). I am not a card layerer, so this impresses me and puts me to shame. Thank you Vada for these treasures. I am so lucky to have them. Meet Miss Rosie...she is a vintage Steiff teddy bear in a soft rose color. She has her eye on a Valentine romance with a dapper teddy chap who lives in Dreamingspires, England with the impressive name of Sir Woodstock. She wore her prettiest collar to impress him.... An ATC made for February's MWS swap. The theme is HEARTS and this ATC goes to my swap partner Vada Schutz.The title is, "Love doesn't bloom until it is given away!"
I made this abacus style card for a swap of secret Valentines on the Cat Bloggers Social Club. I hope Skittles and Wendy like it...
