Just Another Lazy Day...

In case you can't tell, I am enamored with Lorie's Bouncing Bunnies and Brownies collection. It is so whimsical and fun, I love it to pieces. And have you seen ON's Bubbles? I can't tell where the real bubbles from the photo end and the ones by ON begin. They are that good.

Congratulations to Karen!

My fellow ct member, Karen (a/k/a Fortlady) was the winner of a $10.00 gift certificate to uber talented Jen Caputo's store.

Karen was the winner of the May Spirit contest at Scrapbook-Graphics. She dutifully posted the most comments in the gallery. Not only did she get a gift certificate, but she also got her most favorite layout posted in the Scrapbook-Graphics' blog. How exciting!

I can see why she chose this layout as her favorite; it is one of mine, too. :)

Keep up the good work, Karen.

OUT OF BOUNDS! Backyard Visitor: The Junco Sparrow

I love making this pop of our pictures and frames...see the bird's tail...it is such a neat trick!

All winter long I have been spying on these Junco sparrows. They are a bit on the skittish side, but I have been able to get close to them by placing seeds near the back door entrance.
