Dare to be different

If you follow my blog in the least, you know I usually have a story that relates to the image I choose.  In this case, I had a cockatiel name Charlie that must had thought he was a bat.  He loved hanging upside down.  Friends would come over to my house and say "Hey, what's up with the weird upside-down bird?"  I loved the little fella, but he "flew the coop" one day while I was cleaning his cage.  Obviously he loved the idea of freedom more than any love for me!...lol

Branch Birds from Doodle Pantry now comes as a Colored set along with DP and sentiments.  By participating in the June challenge at Doodle Pantry Blog, you will receive a wonderful pre-determined complete set.  Now THAT'S easy peazy!!!
