Free Vintage Image of a Child with a bird nest

Found this public domain copyright free vintage image of a child holding a bird's nest and thought I'd share it.  I think it's adorable and can visualize it lightly tinted with flesh tones and red highlights in the hair.  Whatever you chose to do with the image, scrapbook, smash book, altered art etc...enjoy!

Smash Journal Pages

Updated my Squidoo lens about my Smash Book with a new journal page...this really is the "scrapbooking" for me...messy, freehand etc.  Anyway I did a "what are you doing currently" page...check it out:

Lego Friends - Lego Sets for Girls

http://www.squidoo.com/girls-lego

Some Squidoo lensmasters were asked during a recent quest to write about a product from Amazon's "hot shopping list".

Maybe it was out of my own childhood longing...but

I chose Lego Sets for Girls, more specifically Lego Friends.

These Lego sets for girls are so awesome!  I would have loved

this as a kid...good on Lego for finally making a set for girls,

but too bad it wasn't 30+ years ago!

Gift Ideas for Mom

Yay! Spring is here!

One of my favorite times of the day is 1st thing in the morning when I wake up with a strong cup of coffee in one of my Denby mugs. If Denby is not your thing check out Zazzle! I love how you can customize any mug! Add a picture of the kids, grandkids...a personal message...even a drawing that one of the kids made...or a small handprint! Awww...so cute! Check it out...
