My birthday and a digital page

Today is my birthday and I have been spoiled by my dear husband and my children.
For my teddy bears pictures, I received a new lighting studio and a lot of goodies and a restaurant.
I used the bedroom of my grandson because the light there is excellent ; however, I had to move my other studio because it's too dangerous with him around. The light and everything I used for my first studio.
Now I will be able to go everywhere in the house ; everything is included in the package, light, tripod.
As I told you, I'm a spoiled woman.

I would like also to show you my new scrapbook page ; Darren spent the end of the week with us and I asked him to make a Valentine Card for his Mom.
The result is here : http://chantal-chantaldigitalscrapbooking.blogspot.com/

A few birds pictures, taken today






Snow is still here, but it was sunny today ; so I took pictures of birds around my birdfeeders.
This one is a new come one ; proof that spring arrives ; when I don't know.


Here is my patio ; Carolina, a little snow for you in your sunny country ;o)))

This one is a tourterelle (French) ; she was staying there in the little heat of the sun ; poor little one ; they don't like winter....

Here are my favorite ones ; the chickadees ; they are not scary and they were eating just beside me.

Rupert, an old style bear, is a big 3 inches when standing on his legs, made from a soft and long pile fabric.



His face is finished with gentle shadings.
He is filled with a new material, five way jointed and weighted.





He has black glass eyes, a lacey collar around his neck.
He is so sweet and has a lot of love to give.
I'm sure He will find a sweet Mommy soon.
He comes from a smoke-free home.
