Good-bye Share - Beautiful Vintage Bird Image

I've decided to set this blog aside; it's been fun, but in all the time I've been sharing these wonderful images, nobody has shown any interest, so I guess I'm just talking to myself. It's lonely. Bye-bye, and God bless. - Judy

Free Printable Paper Craft - Chicken Coop Toy Block

I remember playing with toy blocks as a child; each would have an imprinted design or picture, letters and numbers. This is my version of a toy block. Of course, it would make a nice surprise gift box, or party favor. And, if you attached a string or wire to a corner, it could be hung as an ornament on the Christmas tree. Watch for more, and enjoy! - Judy

Free Craft Card - Folding Castle

Please excuse me if I'm proud of this one: I designed and created this card just in the last few hours. I'm very pleased to share it with you The card is in two parts: one outside, and one inside. Cut open  the windows with a craft knife, and they can be folded open to reveal the little ladies' faces. Using a craft knife or scissors, cut the door of the castle on each side, one halfway down the middle, the other halfway up the middle, following the printed lines, so you can close the card by sliding the doors over eachother at the cuts. The matching envelope has a little round image that you may use to seal the envelope; for extra strength, you might want to cover it with a little clear adhesive plastic.. Let me know if you have any questions about how to assemble it.  Have fun! - Judy
