I love the Owl!

Happy Monday! This weekend went by really fast, considering it was a longer one for me with a furlough day added in. I'm moving a little slower today after all of the cleaning that I did over the weekend, photos at the end of this kind of long post...I'm posting my project first in case you don't want to hear me drag on about my cleaning adventure.
When I saw this cute 2-step owl punch (#118074) in the new idea book & catalog, I knew I HAD to have it! This punch will punch out all of the pieces you will need to make this cute owl! I attached the owl on a 1 3/4" circle and clipped it on to a milk carton using a mini library clip. Here's a side view of my project. I used another new punch, dotted scallop ribbon border, around the milk carton. I love this punch too! The DSP that I used for the border and the owl's tummy is called Sweet and Sour specialty #117390. The branch that the owl is standing on is from a punch called 2-step bird, XL #117191. Did you know that SU has self-adhesive rhinestones and pearls? I love it! I used a rhinestone for the center of the mini flower.
A close up of the owl. I'm excited to try out different color combos for the owl.
Well, here is some before and after photos of my cleaning adventure. I decided that last week that I needed to help Dad clean out his garden shed in the back yard. He's accumulated so much junk over the years and that junk kept piling up to the point where he didn't know what was in there and he couldn't even get in there! My goal was to straighten up the place, throw out the junk/rubbish and make room for him to be outside in the yard to do some planting even if there was some small rain outside. Are you ready to see the before photos?

It took me a few hours to accomplish, but I was happy with the results. There were so many empty, smashed up boxes stuffed everywhere...why??!! Oh, and I only came across two geckos, amazing! Here are the after photos...I cleared an area for him to do some planting...
kind of organized things...
My body kind of aches today, but hopefully the advil will help! I hope you all had a productive weekend too.
Thanks for looking today! I'll be back to share another owl project with you!
