Pink Birds

Happy Friday everyone.  The weekend is almost here. So is some warmer weather and melting snow in my world. It is amazing what some spring weather can do for your spirits. (Especially since it is the very end of March.)

Yesterday when I came home from work I finished off my Florida travel journal. I have a few more pages to show you today.

I'll start with a tag I made for my journal and also for Tag Tuesday. The latest challenge has a bird theme:  Birds, Nests and Eggs.  I asked Valerie if the tag needed all 3 things and she said no, so here's my tag with this funny stamped  flamingo, a cool quote and a bit of a tropical feel. 

And flamingoes have showed up a few places in my journal. They are just fun. You can see one one my key lime pie page.  I thought those key limes I drew and painted made the pink really stand out.

I also made another page not with flamingos but with some flying pink birds.

I used all the stickers from the airline luggage tag as well as the little paper envelope our hotel keys came in when we were up near the Everglades. Because of the warm Florida weather flowers were blooming already, so i cut out this picture of a magnolia flower that I found in an old book. Then I added my die cut pink birds.

Some Roseate spoonbills, which are pretty pink birds since I saw no wild flamingos.

And below is a great blue heron, which is found in the Everglades in 2 forms. The standard coloration as this one is.

And also in this white morph form.

Which was pretty cool to see.

And since I shared my key lime page from my journal, I need to show you one of the 2 pieces of that pie I had while in Key West. (It is the official dessert of the Florida Keys so of course I had to try a couple of pieces-smile.)

It was pretty yummy and both pieces (which I had at different restaurants) were good but a little bit different.

Notice the 2 forks so I could share my piece with the hubby.

Hope you have a happy start to your weekend.
