Nesting, Ball Jars and Teen Mom (What a combination)

Are you wondering about the crazy title.  Well, I will get to that.  First of all Viv, hopefully you all know the sweet and fun Viv, hosted a nest swap.  I get all excited about a theme.  She suggested that we not go overboard on extra things.  My kind of swap I would  rather add a few things related to the swap.  I had a hard time matching birds and eggs.  I didn't think I could make a bird so I went to several stores, which is not like me.  I ended up with left overs.  That's where this robin and nest and eggs came from.  Pretty cute left over, isn't it.  I bought this canvas in Colorado awhile back.  I love the saying and hadn't seen it with a bird and a nest before.  My little shelf that I refinished last summer.
My Ball jars arrived in 4 days after I ordered them.  They are so adorable in their little package.  I know a couple of you placed an order as well.  Love them.  I can think of so many uses for them, I may have to order more.  Sorry, Mr. Cozy.  Mr. Cozy asked why we needed these. 
Okay now about Teen Mom.  Mr. Cozy and I are so tired of all the talent, singing shows.  We watch other shows now.......but a couple of shows that we watch would surprise anyone that knows my husband.  One is Teen Mom and the other Dance Moms, hah.  Well, last night while watching Teen Mom, Little Allie's mommy and daddy took her to Nationwide Children's Hospital (in Columbus, Ohio) to see what might be wrong with her muscles.  She is a smart little cookie.  She talks very well but isn't walking yet.  Well, out comes the doctor and it is Dr. Tsao.  He was our son's neurologist for over 10 years.  He usually has several doctors following him as he is brilliant.  I am sure he didn't care at all about the cameras.  My son's case was complicated.  Once Dr. Tsao  patted my shoulder and said to me, "I learn so much from you."  Hah.  He really did.  So, while so much of these crazy reality shows are not real, some are really for real. 
Now, aren't you glad that you read this til the end, hah.

Debbie... I have to say that is a sweet little bird there! I couldn't find any at the store because I had to hurry it was a 15 minute shopping spree and I had to get home..no time to really look around ...so I decided to make mine.

Something about a nest, they are so beautiful. Sweet combination Debby. I need more jars like, well you know, but I am gonna order some. Quite a compliment from your son's doctor, but we all know you are a smart cookie! Love, Penny

I need to order some of the blue Ball jars. By the time I get around to it, they will probably be sold out.

Have fun showing Mr. Cozy why you need them.
