My WinterBella Natures Message Jar

Here is my birdy for the WinterBella e-zine...Nature's Message. I didn't have a jar with a lid so this cloche will have to do. I chose a Cardinal because they are one of my favorite birds! They are soo pretty with their red feathers...
I embellished some tags... with eggs of course!lol...
I placed a tiny watch face in the nest next to him... I'm anxiously awaiting Spring! And of course, nothing is complete till there is a dusting of glorious glitter!
I didn't have any eggs to place next to Mr. Cardinal...but I placed 3 pink quartz stones..3 for my three children. Teresa stated that we try and use what we have on hand... This little display does bare the promise of Spring.. I just love it.

Have a fabulous Monday evening!

What's in a name?

What's in a name anyway? When you hear a persons name whom you didn't get along with in High School, does it evoke feeling extreme distaste? Or vice versa, how about when you hear the name of the love of your life, does it bring on all warm and fuzzy feelings?

Well... I'm sure folks have paid alot of attention to naming their blogs and even their businesses..
I did. give careful thought to it. #1 and I were rolling around so many names about this time last year actually.. I love Italy.. I loved France and Spain when I visited it...

I adore Collage.. the pasting and gluing, the careful thought that goes into each piece. My life is a beautiful collage!

Well... that's me...Bella Colle...Beautiful Collage! The 'e' in Colle sounds like a long 'a'...

I hope that answers 'the who' and 'the what' is in my name...

I hope everyone's Christmas was grand!

hugs..

Well..the orders are filled...the shopping is completed..House is ALMOST clean. Yup, I think I'm ready..
