Hello from the Toymaker

A Little Bird Told Me...

Every day brings something new.

 

 

Spring always suprises me. You think it's going to be cold and rainy forever and then all of a sudden birds are building nests and the trees are getting new leaves. I have high hopes for the wisteria vine this year. It only had one blossom last year, this morning I saw signs of at least two.

I also hope that you have fun making this month's paper birds and perhaps find the time to spend making paper crafts with a friend. Treat yourself to having time just for you as well.

Wishing you a creative week!

"Walk with me to the edge of the city,

Take off your shoes and feel the earth.

Remember who you are. You are a star.

A mountain, that fountain in the sun.

Your heart is the velvet cave

Where birds sing."

~ Julia Cameron
