Today is my SWEET friend Katy's Birthday! I won't say how old she is ~ just that she will always be a little less than one year older than me! LOL!
Katy and I just shared the most AMAZING experience - we both had mommy morning doves build nests at our homes (Yes, right where we could watch them!) and lay two eggs each. Mine hatched first and recently flew away and Katy's are still there and she is enjoying them.
Here's a photo of my birdies:
This is the Mom feeding her babies. Sorry, this pic is the best I could do out my window with an IPhone!
And here is the card I made for Katy inspired by our bird experience:
Mixed media background with a doily, flowers, a wood bird, and that cute nest.
Here's a close up.
The most important thing is that Katy LOVED it!
Happy Birthday my SWEET friend!
