Woohoo! I'm so excited to have a litle extra time this week. The school I teach as has 3 furlough days sandwiched among the President's holidays, giving me much needed time to get ahead on a lot of work. It's also giving me the chance to wake up when my body is ready (rather than the usual yucky 5:20am) and wander around my neighborhood a bit.
I found this little guy hard at work yesterday
and while on my porch planting some flowers, I also found this little girl hard at work - you'd think she'd have the courtesy to at least clean up after herself!
I also found a little time this morning to participate in this week's Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World, which makes me very happy as I've had so few opportunities to do that lately.
This week's Trigger is based off this sweet little decoration
There's a LOT going on in this image, and I was most inspired by all of the colors and patterns. After trying a few things (like building an elaborate house, what was I thinking?) I figured simplifying was better.
I like the combination of the papers, the little red button, and the cute bird...
Hopefully all of you out in the blogosphere get a little crafty time this week (anyone can participate in the challenge) and have a happy week!
Need a LOVE button! So happy for random, relaxing days! Thanks for sharing your sweet photo's! I wish I had a resident squirrel!

PERFECTION! Love this-all the elements of the trigger are displayed perfectly. I especially love how you incorporated the green ric rac part with the scallop-fabulous!
