I'm Like a Bird

 Aug 8, 2011

If I leave here tomorrow...
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now,
'Cause there's too many places I've gotta see.


If I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same...
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you cannot change,
no oh oh oh oh oh ohhh!
And this bird you cannot change,
no oh oh oh oh oh ohhh!

WON'T YOU FLYYYYY HIGH FREEEEEEEE BIRRRRRRD YEAHH!

(These celebratory Lynyrd Skynyrd lyrics are brought to you solely because of this cute little bird dresser from Kristen F at Chi Chi Studio.  Totally has nothing to do with the fact that my kids started school today.)








 
FREEEEEEE BIRRRDDD YEAH!!

Cute. Cute. Dresser.

That aside, saw a dude walking down the sidewalk last week wearing an open-to-the-navel US flag shirt and a pair of stars & striped shorts with runners on and a red headband.....guess what I yelled out my window?

FREEBIRD!

He laughed as hard as I did.

LOVE the dresser, I love anything with birds on it. But not so loving of the song now stuck in my head for the remainder of my work day...My boss will probably think I'm quitting if I start singing Freebird at my desk.haha

That's exactly the type of dresser I have been looking for for my son's room... but I only ever see them on Better After!
By the way, my kids started school today, too! WOOHOOO!!!! (You gotta love livin' in AZ!)

Thank you so much for the feature!!! And thanks for the compliments, ladies!

Pamela August 8, 2011 10:44 PM  

The design was sketched in white chalk then painted freehand. It took about 2 hours.

I don't know what makes me more jealous... that stunning dresser or the fact that my kids aren't back in school until Sept. 7.

Wow, I had to smile when I saw the stenciled dresser. I did something similar to a file cabinet that I had initially planned to throw away. It's amazing how little things like this can transform your furniture and make it a keepsake. If you like you can check it out on my blog.

I hope you don't mind me featuring this on my blog. Thanks for sharing.
