Yesterday morning I woke up to a chorus of chirping birds and I realized how starved I’ve been, missing this gentle music to my ears. At 6 am the sky was bright, the temperature was a smidge above freezing, but best of all…the birds were back! These promising signs of Spring have me happily fluttering about while anticipating more songs of this season to arrive.
Here’s a little something that I made using a bird-shaped cookie cutter. I had originally created heart-shaped ones as published here. However, I’ve since discovered that this project adapts very well to other shapes too, so I’m always on the look-out for interestingly shaped cookie cutters.
I didn’t have to go far to find these gifts of inspiration since they arrived in yesterday’s mail. Ellen sent me these goodies just because. It was so thoughtful and generous of her to send me this creative batch of handmade items. Thank you Ellen for this happy box of Spring, and soon we’ll all be singing its praises…just like the lovely birds outside.

Thanks for inspiring me, with your art, your words and your friendship!
Inspiration is a gift, like no other~

Your cookie cutter bird is just adorable! I think that is one of the truest signs of Spring, to hear the birds.
