yet more challenges

I went onto the One Little Word blog a couple of weeks ago and saw that their word for this challenge was "joy" and had to do a page. I love the idea behind their blog...they give a word as inspiration and you let your creativity flow. I check into the site often but this is the first time that I've actually done one of their challenges. I love how the page turned out!

I took these photos of this beautiful blue jay out in the apple tree in the spring. I've been wanting to do a page on them, but just hadn't had the chance yet......a sketch challenge on the Shaker Box this week was the perfect chance.
