Something really outstanding happened today.  This afternoon as I was walking out the door to go to work, I just happened to look out towards the mailbox, and there was a Robin.  At first I thought I was seeing things, but then, another one flew down from the tree.  I got Bruce up off of the couch and told him to look see, and by the time he got to the window, there was three more.  They were looking for food, and scratching at the ground.  I was able to find my canister of meal worms left over from last spring, so I threw a few handfuls out by the mailbox and along the sidewalk.  I hope they will be okay.  We were so surprised to see them this early.  They never show up here in Michigan until first few weeks of March.  This is a rarity.  They had to pick one of the coldest weekends to come back. 

I don't have any artwork to show today, and I haven't created anything special worth talking about, but I did receive a really nice handmade Thank You card from Harlan, one of the staff members at Heartfelt Creations.  I was so thrilled to get it in the mail. It was so thoughtful of them.  I really would love to be on their design team... just another "something I want to do"... if only I had more time to do all the things I want to do.  I purchased the Black Friday deal last year of the Flip-Fold albums with inserts and pockets, and then in December the Coffee Talk collection, then in January the Sugar  Hollow collection... I just love the cute little owls.  I haven't been able to use any of them yet.... but I am excited about pulling them out soon and going crazy with them.  I forgot to mention that I also purchased some dies and stamps and the deluxe shaping tool set while at their booth at the Novi paper crafts expo last August.  I want to go to Goshen and have a tour of their facility... I guess I better make sure I put in some overtime first. 

Here I am blogging when I could be creating, but after a long nights work at my job, I am tired and just ready for bed.  I wish I would've gotten some pictures of the Robins for you to see, maybe they will be back again today.  Until next time......Create something Exciting!
