For the Birds Blog Hop

There are a lot of times I join these hops to try something completely different.  For this hop, I chose to do something on time and this hop was my incentive.   Mother's Day is in just a few days and  I am always on the search to make something special for my mom.  Well, she had been hinting that she really liked a bird wall hanging that I had made months ago.  I don't think she realized that I was listening to these little hints she kept throwing my way, but I was.  So, this is what my Mother is getting for her present. 



It is a bright and cheery throw pillow.  I drew the little birds on my EQ7 software. (LOVE)





Of course, everyone deserves some Tweet Dreams!!!


 I had such fun marking two things off my to do list: a hop project and Mother's day present.   I hope that you go and visit all the other For the Bird projects today.  Not only that, for the remainder of the hop there are over 100 participants.
