To continue with our visit to the MacEwan Terrace Gardens, here are a few more shots of the flowers and lovely grounds they have there. Thank you to everyone who helped identify all the flowers from Wednesday!! Can you do it again??

















Something very strange. I haven't seen a single butterfly all summer. I thought for sure a Botanical Garden would be full of butterflies, but all I saw were bees. Very strange indeed!



Back on the home front, my baby Sparrow has become a regular. She sits out in the tree for hours at a time eyeballing the feeder and chirping away. I hope she's not too traumatized from getting stuck there the other day. Come on girl, you can do it!!


Guess who finally managed to come for a visit? SKITTLES!!!
Oh my gosh, tell me you don't want to scoop him up! He's even smaller than Junior!


Now if I could just get PRECIOUS to come down out of the tree, I would officially have a baby squirrel day care center on the patio!


And what about JUNIOR? Well if he's not sleeping under the cushions, then he's sleeping on top of the cushions! 


OH, Good grief!

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.

Saturday Step by Step - Pion Birthday Greetings

Hello Everyone!

It's time for another Saturday Step by Step over at FRILLY AND FUNKIE! This time I have put together a lovely Spring Birthday card for a dear friend of mine using my two two biggest loves in my craft room right now, Pion Design Papers and mixed media products, all available at Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique. I do hope you will pop on over and visit me there for lots more photos and a step by step tutorial on how I put this together!




UPDATE:
My card won an award in the following wonderful challenge:

We interrupt your regularly scheduled spring programming to bring you this important winter announcement!! MOTHER NATURE HAS GONE INSANE!! You can't see me right now, but I am giving her some well deserved cut-eye! I waited all winter for some winter weather, and now it's too late! You should never be able to use the phrases 'patio furniture' and 'lots of ice' in the same sentence unless you're describing your afternoon Daiquiri!! 

Oh well, it pretty as all get out, so what the heck! Here it is, my winter in spring time!







Remember the little nest that looked a lot like my missing sweater? Now it just looks like a giant snowball, I sure hope whatever critters are in there, that they are bundled up snug as a bug!


...and remember the tree that looked like it was covered in spider webs...DOH!



Everyone say hello to Mr Greyson Twitchy. I call him Greyson because he has grey hairs, and Twitchy because he does this cute little dance with his feet to avoid being on the cold ground for too long, funny as heck! It was nerve-racking to watch the little guy trying to balance on that icy railing! Geez!



Normally this is when I would bow out, but it's a big day here at My Little Craft Things, and I will be throwing another card at you in just a few hours. Hope to see you then! Hugs :)
