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:
- Arrange your photos in a photo editing program to be a 6×3 inch graphic. (I used Photoshop Elements.)
- Print the photo at 6×4 inches. (I used the instant printer at Target.)
- Trim the photo down to 6×3 inches.
- Spray-glue some paper to the back to make sturdier. (This is a great place to write a brief note.)
- 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.

Very nice job with that bookmark. It reminds me of the postcards that I made for people with my Toronto/Niagara photos.
That’s a really clever idea. I like it and will try it. I love the picture of Thomas and Clover. Obviously he’s just a piece of furniture to her. Bailey could never get up there, so she would just sit on the floor and whine. Sisters!
The photo of Clover and Thomas is great, love it. The bookmark is a neat idea, I will have to try it for the members of my book club.
Oh my goodness, my dog would LOVE a birdwatching bench like that! He sits on the kitchen floor and stares out our window all morning once my alarm wakes him up.
