Finally, I have a chance to show the beautiful package I got from Karla Nathan for the Birdsong Tag Swap. This is how it came all deliciously packaged.... The detail on these tags are amazing. The one on the left is the back of a tag by Shane Pollard . The one on the right is by Rebecca of lovelinest.org This is the front of Shane's tag: This darling 3D piece is by Jane Palmer . This tag has a bit of glitter and is by Lisa . By Julie Baxley: From "tatteredgypsyrose" (and um, it's upside. It has this awesome 3d birds nest at the bottom! The back of Deborah's tag is above, the front is below. Very cute and vintagey. And the amazing cover by Karla. I can't believe those birdcage tags are that small! Now that's dedication :)

Ok, it'll take me a wee while to process photos etc, so look for a post on them soon! But they is gorgeous! Thank you, Miss Karla!

So hopefully Karla should have my tags by now and is putting the tag books together. Here are pictures of what I created.... Because I used bird feathers and they stick out from the edge of the tag, I quickly spritzed a manila folder with two colors of Glimmer Mist and tied the tags onto it to help protect them while they are being shipped. I took the cardboard outside to dry and when I came back to bring it in. It was gone. I searched all over the yard and then went into complain to my  hubby how the wind had blown my folder who knows where. "Oh," says he, "I thought it blew in from somebody else's yard and so I threw it into the recycling." *sigh* There are three unique tags (like the one above), and four the same (below). The images come from The Graphics Fairy or The Feathered Nest . I can't wait to see the tags I receive! (Although, of course, I'll have to.)
