  3. Shell this is fabulous, love the bird and cage you would never know that was wood from the photo. The embossing works so well with it and the distressing finishes it off.
    Have fun tomorrow, wish I was coming with you. I will just have to stay home and NOT celebrate my anniversary instead lol.
