Cute and Quick

 

Here is a Tufted Titmouse eating and caching some nuts and seeds.

 

 

The White-breasted Nuthatch and Chickadee are also customers.

 

 

It is interesting to see how differently the Nuthatch and the Chickadee eat.



Tile my world!

Here is a card sample made using a DP Artwork rubber stamp. The name of the stamp is Tile duo (EL 34 G). One side of the stamp has 1 big tile ( featured on the black background). The second side is the same tile smaller and with 4 to make one side. I love this stamp and this sample! This was made by our friend of friend Vicki (she's got skills!) Thank you Vicki for this sample!

I love birds!

This Northern Flicker and I would like to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day! Enjoy your day!

Mockingbird with a twist

Well the flowers are starting to open up, the grass is turning green.....It's a bit too early. They say we will be getting snow tomorrow, and yesterday it was in the 60's. I do not know what to say....Very odd weather.

Risk it!

 

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach out to another is to risk involvement,

To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.

To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.

To love is to risk not being loved in return,

To live is to risk dying,

To hope is to risk despair,

To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

He may avoid suffering and sorrow,

But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.

Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.

Only a person who risks is free.

The pessimist complains about the wind;

The optimist expects it to change;

And the realist adjusts the sails.

Cute little wren

This is a Carolina Wren. He was singing up a storm....and loud. When the wrens sing their tail is pointed down. When they are foraging their tail is up.

Wrens are cute little birds...but you always know when they are around!

Fast horse

 

What a great sample from Vicki B. She used two of our (DP Artworks) stamps. The two stamps are; Full run (AW 20 F) and Fast horse (QP 14 E). It is a really great looking sample!

February

60 degrees.

February evening.

 Yes this is my Oklahoma!

Roadrunner

We saw this cute Roadrunner today at the lake.

 

I love how the light makes it's feathers look green (ish).

 

 

Gotta goooooooo.......

London fog

Okay, so I found a thumb drive and checked to see what was on it and it was card samples. So I believe the samples were all made by Vicki Bridges. She is a very talented local artist. There are several DP Artworks stamps used including; The Thames (WI 44F), Rose window (WI 52 F), Ornate shell border (EL 24 G), Ornate carved round (TR 22 G), Prodigal son (NA 22 F) Cross background (EL 17 H), and Manor gate (PM 32 E). I love the tile effect she got on this. Between the tiles is embossing.  It is a lovely blue sample!
