a little birdy...

how was everyone's weekend?

i had a wonderful weekend, well besides work. ick. nah,

it isn't all that bad. =)

besides working, i went thrftin'!!

i'm so glad caitie enjoys it as much i do!! we got some awesome

stuff but no pictures ready, so i'll have to make you all jealous another day ;)

one of the things i did get was this little birdy... for a buck fifty!!

i was very excited, i haven't been able to find a birdy any anywhere.

this is what he looked like when we took him home.

{isn't he beautiful?}

we gave him a good bath.

then we

we used some of this:

{i'm fixing to have to restock!}

man how i love it!

and the little guy turned out like this:

{sorry for the bad pictures, i usually craft when the childrens are sleeping =) you mommies understand.}

{can you see the holes in his mouth? i think in a previoius life he was a salt/pepper shaker, but we'll fix it!}

i'm happy for the most part, but something is still missing.

i think his details need to show a little more.. he's too bland.

i'll have to do more surgery on him and post pictures!!

but not today. =)

AND

hope everyone has an awesome monday!
