Joyful Day Ornament Card

Hello Everyone!

I had such great feedback regarding my last couple of ornament cards that I thought I would try and make a few more in that style.  This one ended up a little too wide to fit in my 6x6 envelopes, so it will have to be hand delivered. Oops, I do get carried away. lol

The papers are from My Minds Eye, the snowflake is Cheery Lynn, the pine sprigs were done with a Cheery Lynn die, the doily die underneath is also Cheery Lynn. The snowflake flourish is from Memory Box, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The wood reindeer is from DeSerres and I covered it with styrofoam balls that I pulled out of an old stuffed animal, and chunky crystal glitter is dusted on top (although it's hard to see).

Exciting news, Sunday night we got a wee bit of snow, so Monday morning I finally walked back out to The Shire. I went and visited Bon Jovi, spent a few minutes being sad and then I turned my camera to happier things. I stayed out for four hours, until every last bit of snow had melted away!!!

My posts for this week are already written, so for now, more autumn photos. Next week I will be excited to share more recent pics. For my landscape photo, a shot of the sun rising from behind the tall reeds.

For my bird photos today, I have this sweet little Chickadee.

and this very wet Grackle. The Grackles have since moved on to their winter homes, so I guess this will be the last shot until spring time.

HENRY poses nice for the camera. I think he knows he will get a fresh treat once I'm done! lol

"OK, enough with the leaves. I'm very tiny you know, and I can't see where I'm going!"

"OMG, that did NOT just happen! He took my peanut and ran up the tree!"

"Is it necessary that you watch me while I'm eating, seriously!"

"Aww shucks, thanks Ma'am. Oh, it's all natural beauty, I swear!"

Last but not least, my macro for the day. We had a wee frost, not much, but I took full advantage!

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
