One of dear Megan's favorite books when she was little was
Peter Rabbit. so beautifully written by that gentle English Author, Beatrix Potter. I took a book that I found at a second hand store and turned it into t
he roof for a wood birdhouse. Although the book had fallen prey to crayon markings throughout, I was able to rescue some of the illustrations to decoupage on the sides of the piece. Other pieces of ephemera are scattered here and there. I gave a little extra
dimension to the roof by adding a small compass and a glass bubble that covers a little picture of Peter munching happily on Mr. McGregor's carrots. I read of my friend, Bluebell, rambling across England and try to picture Miss Potter's countryside and what it must be like there. Oh, in my dreams, I go there to see all those bunnies and bugs she loved to draw.

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. What a precious keepsake...especially for someone who loves Mr. Peter.
God has sooo generously blessed your hands.

Now how clever is that? It is just adorable Martha!
Martha, I think the crayon scribblings just add more charm! Well-loved, well-read by little hands and most likely read TO by a loving mother! :-)
