Get Messy Gifts - Week 5

It's been a quiet start to 2017 as my maternal grandmother passed on New Years Day. So instead of making goals and setting up for the year ahead,  it's been a bit more melancholic.

My grandmother lived in Wisconsin, and I always associate red-winged blackbird with the fields behind her house. It's not a bird I see often in New York, so it has an extra special meaning for me. 

And to go along with the Season of Gifts, I made a page to honor my grandmother's gift of growing roses.
