chirpy chirp chirp - I'd like to think that's enough syllables for every occassion.
Eagle-eyed fololwers of blog de lottie may recognise my cunning adaptation of a former christmas cards, just remember a blue tit is for life not just for christmas (though Pat always says they're not all that christmassy at all really - bless him)
The card making process was fine until it came to using the squeaky guillotine, even the embossing of 20 sheets of paper (which I put through the press twice for extra embossingness)...apologies to anyone who had to sit through squawks and squeaks while I chopped my paper into 100 cards - you know who you are)...
can't wait to see the finished product. my husband has been drawing a bunch of birds lately (a to z) to i'm sure he'll be interested to see too.
