bird is the word!

in the midst of scrapping an album for my dear friend, i have wandered off to do a challenge!! i came across the challenge at http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/04/sunday-april-24th-challenge-word-begin.html
and thought ...hummm.. let me see what i can do with this!! my youngest daughter started a new school this year.. she was going up to toowoomba each day and i thought.. hey this travelling is a bit much.. so we put her into our local school for year 5.. not an easy thing to do for her. but she has been brave and hasn't had a day off and goes off happily to school. so i thought i would do a layout about her 'beginning a new school'..
and a close up.. i have been seeing flags appear on layouts with the trend of banners, and so i thought.. how hard could it be to make one? not hard at all..if i can do it, anyone can..
a close up of my flag which is part of my title!
i bought a bag of wooden sticks from a cheap store thinking they would be good to make fences.. but they are really fabulous for flags too! So glad i got a bag,  they certainly are going to come in handy for scrapping! hope you are having a great day!!
