That is exactly what John said when Hels turned up with two birds in hand!
I asked him for two hammers ... he eyed us up and down and said "Oh great ... sore thumbs and blood blisters!"
What faith!!!
We had a fab time altering our birds Wendy Vecchi style! And no blood blisters either ... I did hit my thumb once ... but we're not telling John that! OK?
Ever since we saw Wendy's beautiful birds in the June 09 edition of Craft Stamper we have both been itching to have a go at this ... so a really really big Thank you to Hels for making it happen!
Now for the introduction... this is Rose and she is a bit of a party bird ... she likes to shake her tail feathers ... if you know what I mean!
Today she is wearing grunge paper ... in a mixture 
I am not sure if you can see her earrings in these piccies but rest assured she has some on!
Her boyfriend should be putting in an appearance here and what a cool dude he is ... he even has his own set of wheels .... which is partly why Rose likes him so much!
Thanks for a fab day Hels ... and Thank you Wendy for the inspiration ... again!

Love it, she's a classy bird! I think I may have to get some of this grunge paper to play with.
Oh my, what a stunning bird she is, loving the tailfeathers xx
How, how, how did I miss this post? Lucky for me I was trawling to find your cuff post again and stumbled across her. She is an amazingly beautiful bird though... I have to say... with those earrings she would be labelled a chav round these parts. But sssshhh, I think she carries them off well. And I wont tell her if you don't ;) ;)
