Today was our last field trip from our Birding class. If you’re interested in birds, and in the Atlanta area, I totally recommend it. I learned a ton, saw a bunch of new birds, and discovered some really great locations. I’ll post the photos from today’s trip later this weekend.

I haven’t posted any crafts recently, but I quickly made this last night to give to our birding teacher as a small thank you. It’s a bookmark with some favorite photos that Thomas and I took on the class trips. It was pretty easy to make - here’s how:

1. Arrange your photos in a photo editing program to be a 6×3 inch graphic. (I used Photoshop Elements.)
2. Print the photo at 6×4 inches. (I used the instant printer at Target.)
3. Trim the photo down to 6×3 inches.
4. Spray-glue some paper to the back to make sturdier. (This is a great place to write a brief note.)
5. Hole-punch the top and thread some ribbon through it.

It took me two hours and most of that was at Target - of course, I had to browse a bit. :) Anyway, it was quick, easy, and cheap, and would be a great craft if you need to make something small for a large group.

On another note, I just went upstairs and this is what I found - Thomas is napping on Clover’s birdwatching bench, so she just climbed right over him to keep watching.
