These birds were painted last year by Becca Kallem. Visit her blog to grab the full set (there are twelve birds in all), and you can print them out to use as ornaments or gift toppers.
An iPhone Goes Better With…

Perhaps you know someone who already owns an iPhone, or perhaps you’re surprising someone with one, but either way a pretty case is a good idea. And oh boy, would that Little Printer be extra credit! It won’t be available for the holidays, but they will be taking pre-orders soon.
My Colortopia
One of my favorite things to do is to choose paint colors. One of my other favorite things to do is to talk about do so. Clearly it’s a good fit that I’m now writing over at the new blog, My Colortopia.
I’m happy to be in such good company too! There are some great bloggers contributing. I’ll be adding a new article every month, and my first is already up: Tips for Choosing Paint Colors. Take a look if you’ve ever wondered about the nuances of picking the perfect shade.
I have partnered with Glidden/ Akzo Nobel Paints to participate in the My Colortopia program but the thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
