Unusual Small Necklace

I have 4 humming bird feeders. I had 2 last year and added 2 more this year. Hummingbirds bring me great pleasure to watch. This year I found 2 hummingbird feathers underneath my feeders. I was so excited! I put a penny next to them so you could get an idea of the actual size of them -very tiny.

I wanted to preserve them and showcase them at the same time. I thought about a necklace that I had seen my friend Katy wear (she's a Stampin' Up rep, you can check her out here). Anyway, I contacted Katy and had her order me a necklace and this is what I did with my hummingbird feathers...



I wore them to church one Sunday and everyone thought that it was so neat. I love wearing my hummingbird feathers, that too brings me pleasure.

Another blogging friend of mine has a couple of neat posts on her hummingbird, you can check it out here and here.

Are you a humming bird or a vulture?

A humming bird flys around looking for bright, beautiful flowers to collect good, sweet nectar. They are also spreading wonderful pollen by doing this (which aids the flowers). A humming bird stays mostly in the air (very seldom do you see them on the ground).


A vulture can smell something dead and rotting from very far off, they then fly and circle looking for the dead. They feed on dead and rotting carcasses by picking at it. A vulture stays near the ground when feeding and digesting their food.

Do you look for the good in others? Do you try to spread encouraging words? Are you uplifting to those around you? Are you out there looking for good?

OR...

Can you smell a rumor/gossip a mile a way? Do you try to dig up "dirt" on others? Do you pick on others and try to bring/keep them down? Are you out there looking for the bad?

Which bird are you? A Humming Bird or a Vulture? "He who sees good finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it." Proverbs 11:27 (NIV)
