Over 2 months ago, Hobby Lobby made a little place on their stamp shelves for a darling little bird. I have literally haunted both H/L's in my area, almost on a daily basis, awaiting the arrival of this baby. Well, yesterday Tater and I were on our usual junket after bowling, and we looked at all the stuff we "needed", gradually circling like buzzards until we got to the stamps. Turned the corner and --- gasp!!! --- there he was. I grabbed the first one, Tater got the second one and BAM they were GONE. The shelves are bare yet again. I'm sorry, all the rest of you stalkers in New Braunfels, but he lives in my house now. I can die happy (someday, in about 20 or so years)
Hope you like him. His name is Floral Bird Trail from Inkadinkadoo. He has a companion hummingbird, big bird and a set of acrylics that I can't find yet. But the hunt is on for them.
Edit note: The first picture was replaced with this one. The first one didn't have the little "Always" flowers on it. Well, it was late last night when I did the scan..............

Love what you did with him, and I love your story. I, too, have
been looking for him in San Antonio at 3 different HL, one of those
stores not very close to me. I finally find it this week. There was
only 1 on the shelf and I got it! Happy Stamping!
