Join us as we flock together to complete this month's "Birds of a Feather" themed challenges. While this old proverb is true of all of us who share the same love for putting our memories on scrapbook pages or creating beautiful cards, the focus is not on us, but on the various birds that surround us with their beautiful colors, their varied songs, and their nest building skills. They may hang around our yards splashing in a bird bath and enjoying a free meal or they may make their home in a zoo. Perhaps they were a once-in-a-lifetime sighting or a pet you enjoy every day. Big or small, they may frighten us or delight us. We use their names to describe others...you wise old owl, she's as colorful as a peacock, he's just a little songbird. They have starred in movies and inspired songs and poetry. And these amazing creatures have even risen to the heights of being honored as state and national symbols. So, get ready!! The birds are coming!
Remember - A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations.
Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....
Today's challenge is based on the magnificent bird, the American Eagle. For this challenge, you will need to use the colors red, white, and blue in some form or something patriotic to honor our national bird. In addition to this, please add something that flies to your LO.
A little bit of trivia...when I started this LO, I wasn't really sure how I was going to use the Eagle as my inspiration so I decided to go with the challenge I posted. After it was done I noticed that the pictures with the flag are when Buzz Aldrin quoted, "The Eagle Has Landed" at the lunar landing.
