Busy Bees...
Sharing today a few photographs from my Southern Hemisphere Summer garden...
The sun is shinning, it's lovely and warm, and the bees are busy collecting pollen.
I'm loving the bright yellow cheer of these photographs.
And thank the busy bees for my future HONEY. 🐝

Mia Bella Passions: Two Little Christmas Trees...❥
in October I said goodbye to my little white dog.
She was very sick.
And I could not make it better.
It was the hardest thing.
And since then...
Even though Mia Bella Passions rocks on in all it's creative glory,
I am numb with the grief of losing her.
Because...
So I thought that this year ,
And one silver with birds and faux parcels.
And she knew a present when she saw one.
So Mia Bella Passions Christmas
is
small
white
and full of love...
and memories...
of a wonderful friend and companion of 12 years.

Matt Mod Podge glue.
Some decorations for the neck of the jar.
(rope, christmas ribbon, faux berries & pine or anything Chjristmasy)

Draw around the template and then cut the double papers.
Because these are for the Christmas decor,
I have used Christmas themed paper.
Bend two paper clips per bird for the feet as shown.
Glue the two sides together using a big dollop of glue at the bottom of the bird's tummy to hold the paper clips.
Insert the paper clips and hold the two layers together for a minute while the glue sets.
You will have to manipulate the feet a bit so the paper bird will stand on its own.
Use for your Christmas decor...
Note:
Save this paper craft idea for Spring and make pretty Spring paper birds.
