The Gift of a Feather

Hello! It's Monday morning and the start of another week!

Totally Gorjuss has a challenge with the theme of using a feather.

It made me think of a poem that spoke of a bird giving the greatest gift he had-

It was a feather - It was a gorgeous poem and for the life of me - I cannot find it anywhere!

Please let me know if anyone knows where I can find this poem.

It is so beautiful!

It is my turn to post at our wonderful Paper Temptress Blog!

Of course I eagerly pulled out my beautiful paper from Paper Temptress!

I did not have a stamp with a feather so I decided to sketch it myself!

I found my inspiration from my three feather babies!

Hello and WELCOME!

Totally Gorjuss has a challenge this week that inspired this card.
The challenge run's through Friday and the theme is...
"Sympathy" or "Sorry"

I confess that I am a shopaholic! I recently visited Patricia from The Paper Temptress
and I got a little carried away with all the paper selections.
I left with two big boxes filled with gorgeous paper!
I used some for this card.
Take a look!
