Birdie Birdie in the sky...

I just finished a really cute trio of summertime birds!
Are these little birds not just precious! 
I am really into orange this year...and I like the little flower on the tail. 
Gotta have twine on everything! 
And let's not forget the button on every craft project!

Before I was able to work on these birds, I had a bright idea stupid idea to organize my scrapbook paper.  
My workshop was a MESS! I have so much paper, it isn't even right. This is half of the paper on the table. I am going to really weed through this and get rid of what I know I will never use! 
The problem is that I am a paper hoarder. I can't pick which paper to get rid of and which paper to keep! HELP! 
I did it. I went from 8 of these Karen Foster paper holders down to 3 1/2 paper holders. Not too bad!  
What a great feeling to downsize. Now...where to donate all that paper?

Don't forget to enter to win the four birthday prizes! Giveaway will be announced on May 13th, so you have a few days left to enter!

  1. Those birds are so cute! I love the patterned paper you chose. Our local scrapbook store takes paper donations and gives them to our Children's Hospital -maybe yours does something similar?

  2. Leigh the color combinations are perfect, I'd love to see how you made them - mod podge? And did you buy them already as bird shapes with the wing unattached?

  6. I was going to say the same thing about children's hospitals taking the paper. They love having supplies on hand for the kids to use. but I'd also say that I'd be happy to help you get rid of some of it. ;)

  9. I like the birdies, I have been thinking I should have more in our home, being "Fowler" and all, ha.
    I will take the scrap paper. The YW love to make cards and it ends up getting spendy.

  16. Seriously- You took the words right out of my mouth- "What was I thinking." That is what i always say 1/2 way into organizing my scrap paper. I am a hoarder too. I find myself buying multiples of most sheets just "in case" I use one and later on find the *perfect* project for it. UGH!! :) I always donate mine to the Women's Center here in town, the local church preschool, or I cut them into 6x6's and hand out to my crafty card friends at retreats :) Good luck!!!! :)
