Christmas Birds

If you've been following along,

you know I've been making bird tags

for the students on The Runner's bus.

Every Christmas, each of the kids

gets one of my birds.

Here is one from this past Christmas.

One day this week,

The Runner came home and said to me,

"I saw one of your birds today!"

WHAT?

When one of the dad's came to meet his daughter

at the bus stop,

my bird was hanging

from his rear view mirror in the car.

WHAT?

How cute is that?

I decided not to put away

my Christmas supplies at the end of the year.

My idea was to get ahead of the game.

Didn't work out exactly as planned.

I only got a dozen birds partially created.

Still needs all the pretties.

Well, better than nothing, right?

I'm gearing up for Mother's Day

and doubt I'll get back to making birds.

That means tomorrow,

my Christmas supplies go back into hibernation

until September.
