I think he’s thinking about heading south for the winter. It’s cold up here!
I imagine that birdie is thinking about how breathtakingly gorgeous God’s creation is all around him/her! (atleast that’s what I would be thinking if I had the freedom to roam around high above the earth all day). thanks for this giveaway, Lisa - your blog is such an encouragement
I imagine the birdie is thinking about where to find the best nest making materials.
I think the little birdie is saying “pick this lady, pick this lady-she’ll take good care of me”! I love your designs- and this one especially *cute*!
It’s thinking about how peaceful it is above all the hustle and bustle below.
I’m sharing this on facebook
That sweet little birdie is imagining how lovely he’d look around my neck and thinking about how much joy he’d bring me! Thanks for the opportunity!
Love it! Anywhere has to be calmer than here right now
I also just started a photography class, so the book is an awesome find.
Gorgeous. I absolutely love this! That birdie on a wire is thinking about taking off, wind running through her feathers. Only birds can have that kind of freedom!
I believe the birdie is thinking “another perfect day”…something we should all aspire to;)
He’s thinking, “How can I glorify God more today…? I know! I’ll sing to Him!”
I think he’s thinking about giving his mommy a hug instead of having a tantrum. [yes, that's been my day!]
Every time I see a bird on a wire, I think of that Pixar short. All the little birds on the wire pick on the big bird, but in the end their rudeness ends up harming only themselves.
Thanks for the giveaway! I think the birdie is just taking in the amazing sunset.
I bet that little birdie is waiting for his friends.
I hardly ever see birds perching alone!
That little bird is thinking about how loved he is by His creator…. (Matt 6:26)
Sharing this on Face Book !
I say he has a song in his heart that he’s happy to sing up there!
Love this necklace!!
and I just posted to facebook!
Tweeting this giveaway!
With my first child’s high school graduation coming up in the spring, I am melancholy about my children leaving the nest. I imagine this mommy bird thinking and dreaming of all her baby birdies and what their future holds!
I love this new necklace! I call my ‘oldest’ daughter ( 5 1/2 year old triplets) birdie as a nickname and so wearing this necklace would remind me that my little birdie is thinking that all she needs is me to be present…and maybe snuggle up on the couch in the “nest” we make out of down blankets (we live in Michigan!!) Thank you for the opportunity! Anna
OMG!! That necklace is beautiful!!! I love it.. of course i have yet to see one of your beautiful creations that i don’t like..:) He is thinking of what wonderful place he should visit next… being able to go anywhere really has it’s perks!
great give away….sorry, but i think he is thinking how do i get down from here …….
The birdie is thinking……what will come my way next?
It is beyond brilliant, I love it!
Sweet birdie! Probably thinking about spring.
I think that little birdie is thinking about Spring! I love love love this new design!
Oh that is just precious!
Love it! I would imagine the little bird is thinking about a past flight…
I think the birdie is looking down and wondering how well I am embracing my word of the year for 2010!
The birdie is wondering when spring will be arriving up north so she can fly back and make people delighted to see her again.
Just tweeted
i think he is reminding me of luke 12:22-31 where jesus teaches us not to worry….something i struggle with on a daily basis!
beautiful creation lisa
Okay, you’ve nailed it. Aqua. It’s just perfect. Really. Perfect.
I tweeted about the giveaway (my username is katherinevw)!
The little birdie is wondering what the weather is going to be like tonight and if he should find a new place to sleep.
facebook baby.
Tweet, Tweet … How fitting :P.
http://twitter.com/KnittyBitties/status/7461934932
Oh that little birdie is soooooo thinking how pretty ALL this snow we have in my neck of the woods looks from way up high.
He’s wondering if his baby is ever going to sleep tonight so he can have some computer time
He’s loving the peace and quiet. And wondering where he should fly next!
The little birdies are surely thinking about springtime!
Do you see what I see?
Lovely design, I think the birdie is thinking about enjoying the simple things in life. A good reminder for all of us!
I don’t think the birdie is thinking about anything except how good it feels to soak up the sunshine!
I think the birdie is thinking about whether the window in front of him is really a windor cleaned with windex or whether it’s not a window at all
He’s thinking, “I’m so glad that Lisa Leonard gave me wings. I wish I could fly away and live permanently perched around Lisa-Jo’s neck.”
I adore the new necklace! I betcha that little birdie is thing ‘ahh so nice and quiet up here’ of course that’s what I would be thinking if I were the little birdie!

Maybe the birdie is thinking about tweeting
So, I tweeted

@meltonbritt
I’ll bet that little birdie is contemplating what will her WORD for 2010 will be! Loved your post on one little word. Have spent some time contemplating it myself. Last year my word was GROW. And YOU made me a necklace to help me remember it! Thank you by the way. I’ve enjoyed it! Oh I hope I hope I win the birdie…love it! Great job! Keep blogging…it’s inspiring!
Beautiful necklace. You come up with the most darling ideas!
hmmmm…lets see…maybe the bird is wondering what we are all doing looking at it!
my birdie would be thinking she doesn’t care who hears her sing! BEAUTIFUL WORK
i think those little birdies are saying to themselves “we got away from those 2 two cats again” “ha ha”
and I facebooked too
http://www.facebook.com/brittneymelton
I think he’s looking at his feathered friends and thinking, “should I follow or make my own way?”
Maybe he’s thinking, “I love just sitting here and taking it all in.”
i think hes thinking “wow, those people down there are all nuts, why dont they slow down”
“life is good” (whether you’re a bird or not)
I had to smile the other night at a meeting - I looked around at the 10 women there and four of us were wearing pieces of your making - we love Lisa Leonard in Michigan!
Thinking about his love bird.
I think he is thinking “better head south”
I love the necklace! I think the bird is just basking in the peacefulness of it all. Maybe the birdie is a mommy who just scored a rare few minutes away from her babies…
Love it! She is thinking, “Now why are my little birdies so quiet right now? Should I enjoy it or be worried they are up to something?”
I love the new necklace- so thoughtful but darling too. I think the bird is thinking about “chicks”- teehee.
I imagine that he or she is thinking about just how small we all are in the universe and how lucky we are to be a part of it.
I imagine the birdie is enjoying a peaceful moment alone
I think the birdie is thinking “should I stay or should I go now?”…life is all about the journey & deciding which path to take next.
I think the bird is thinking that he is lonely and he needs to find his flock….
i love this new design - so beautiful and such a simple yet meaningful message behind it.
i think the bird is not thinking much of anything, just enjoying the breeze, taking in the view, being a bird in the moment.
i think he is thinking about how nice and quiet it is up there!
Another gorgeous piece! I think he’s thinking of how he’s glad he didn’t fly south yet. brrrrrrrrrrrrr It’s cold here!
He’s wondering where to fly to next.
I tweeted the giveaway here:

@erinclosingtime
This is beautiful! Such a creative design. I might need this to remind me day to day that things look so different when you take a step back (or above) a situation.
If I were that bird, I’d just be observing, not really lost in deep thought about anything. I’m sure from up there, things are much simpler.
Oh, how beautiful is that necklace! And what a fabulous giveaway — I’d love to win, thanks for the opportunity!
Tweeted about it too- under nmonroe4!

love all your work. it never fails to inspire me.

So pretty! I love it!
I shared on Facebook!
retweeting now.
shared it on facebook too!
and my retweet will appear on fb.
It’s thinking it’s ready for spring!
I think the birdie is considering singing in harmony with her friends. Harmony is something that all of us need, I think, in many ways. When we are all singing together, we make beautiful music.
“It will never cease to amaze me that I am not electrocuted every time I plop down up here.”
I tweeted this
that bird is thinking that brianne needs that necklace!! i am so love with birds these days and it is as if you read my mind. this one is amazing!!!
That little birdie is thinking about her sweetheart, and loving every minute of the 3 years she’s spent with him. Because, you see, today is their 3 year “anniversary”. And every day, the 2 little birds learn more and more about loving each other…and their lives look pretty wonderful from up there.
how stinkin cute!! Love this!
I tweeted, Lisa! {also mentioned you so you can find it.} @thesweetpetunia
I imagine he is looking around wondering where all of his friends flew off to!
“the birdie is thinking that she wants to have 3eggs, so she can have 3 babies just like my mommy. I think she will be a good mommy, just like you!” this is what my five year old thinks the birdie is thinking :0) gosh isn’t the little things in life.. Btw I do adore my 3 little baby birdies!

If that little birdie were here, he would be thinking of a warm place to fly to get away from the snow and bitterly cold temperatures!

if he’s in arkansas he’s thinking it’s too cold! i better fly further south. i love the bird necklace. i have your other one and i think this one is even prettier.
I’m sure he is sitting here in cold Utah wondering when I am going to put out the pinecone with peanut butter on it that my special boy and his helper made at his school.
I don’t tweet but I did facebook about it!!
i imagine that the little birdie has just flown away from his nest, heading off for new adventures…and though he is excited about what lies ahead for his future, he is also sad to be leaving his past behind.
(and ps…i just want to tell you how amazing you are. your talent awes me…but your giving spirit blows me away. thank you.)
Little Birdie is probably thinking……”man, why are all those people rushing around down there? They need to stop and just listen and look at God’s beautiful creations.”
I believe that little birdie is thinking about how it can spread its wings for the Lord. What a lovely new necklace - might just be my favorite.

Spring of course………..

I believe he’s thinking about how nice the warmth of sunshine feels.
I think the birdie is thinking that we should slow down and enjoy life more
You are always coming up with such beautiful new pieces! I’m sure the birdie is thinking about ice cream, and is scouring the neighborhood for some leftover

I think the birdie is thinking….look at all these silly people rushing about, don’t they realize life is passing them by?
He is probably enjoying the calm quiet up there. Everyone needs a quiet moment each day to just breathe.
The little birdie is thinking, “It’s too quiet up here…I wonder what the kids are up to….”
This view is simply divine!
He’s wondering why my best friend Becca is freaked out by birds like himself who sit on wires. Seriously, she is
If she had this necklace, it’d be because of a gag gift.
He’s thinking…”I’ll be done seen about everything, when I see an elephant fly.”

that little bird is reminding me to slow down and enjoy my kids in the present. I am learning they grow so quickly and I need to stop and savor their sweetness! Beautiful necklace, Lisa! The book looks cool, too!

Linked to your blog on facebook!
My mom says that even though all of her babies have left her nest to form their own, they still seem to do a lot of chirping for her. Seeing this necklace was a sweet reminder of that.
The little birdie is thinking it is time for spring already!!
I like to think the little bird is just taking a moment to itself to think and breathe before going back to crazy life.

I think the little birdie is dreaming big
The little birdie is thinkin’ , “new friends in 2010 !”………
That birdie is thinking how lovely it is to just be alone sometimes…savoring the moment. My word this year is Savor and I would love to have this necklace to remind me everyday to stay in the moment.
He’s looking down at all the crazy people in middle TN that worrying about 2 inches of snow when other states measure their snow fall in feet!
You do beautiful work.

I think he’s thinking of home. And how much further he has to fly to get there.
As a child, one of my favorite books was called “Are You My Mother?” by P. D. Eastman. It’s about a baby bird who hatches while his mother is off in search of food for him. Not knowing who his mother is, he goes in search of her. I imagine your little bird will find what he’s searching for very soon. Beautiful necklace!!
He’s thinking as he sings to himself….” oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day”
The little birdie is just resting his wings, waiting for his birdie love to come along.
I think the little birdie is just enjoy the view and the lack of craziness “up there”
Thanks for the giveaway . . . great new design!
blessings,
shana
The bird is saying…still…let me be still…let me be okay with the quiet in my heart…
I think he is enjoying *this moment.* Gorgeous necklace, as always!!!!
I think the Birdie is thinking sometimes it’s just nice to observe from afar…
I think he’s looking for a target. A car parked underneath the wire with its sunroof open, perhaps.
I think he’s wondering why he flew south … it’s cold here too!
Sweet necklace — a little departure from what you typically do, and I give it a big thumbs up … way up!
the approaching air balloon!
The birds are a reminder to me of Matthew 6:26 - Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.
She is thinking how beautiful she looks on that necklace.
I believe the birdie is thinking how she belongs on a girl named after her…
Just adorable!

I think he’s relaxing just looking around waiting on a friend.
he is just thinking he needs to find the perfect place to perch. Which would be in my jewelry box. and on my neck
love the aqua with this necklace….so pretty!
i think the bird is thinking how nice the quiet is.
Due to a book I recently read with my boys, I think the bird is looking for a “target.”
Great new piece!
I think that beautiful bird is dreaming of flying south for the rest of the winter, finding a nice warm beach, sipping a nice tropical beverage, and soaking up some rays!!
(here in CO it’s -16 degrees!!!)
LOVELY CREATION!
I think he’s wondering why we humans bustle and worry like we do. He thinks we should just trust in the Lord like he does..
Hmm…I would have to say the birdie is taking time to be thankful.
I put up the link on facebook!
OH, this little bird dreams already of my neck and can’t wait to meet me
Thanks for the great give away!
The bird is praising it’s creator for such a lovely day.
What a cutie birdie! I think she’s pondering all that the day will bring. That’s what a mommy does.
What a wonderful necklace! The bird reminds me of the ones from the windex commercial just watching us lowly humans and laughing when we run into glass doors
I think he is thinking how nice it is to have perspective.
I think the little birdie is thinking how peaceful life is up there. Beautiful necklace Lisa.
I love your necklaces and this one is just perfect.
I think the bird is looking at Morro Rock and relaxing.

this cute little birdie is singing “i think to myself… what a wonderful world”
I imagine that the birdie is taking in the view and enjoying the peace and quiet way up there. I love your site- own 2 pieces, look forward to owning more.
That little birdie….he’s thinking, “it’s too cold out…I better find somewhere warm to hang out.” BRRRR!!
The necklace is so delicate and sweet. I didn’t read anyone else’s thoughts but my first impression is that the advantage the little bird has high up there on the wire is that he can see past the circumstances around him to what is ahead. And it helps him to press towards the mark. ♥
The bird is singing a song, praising its Creator.
To me, birds represent peace, so I think this necklace is a symbol of peace. What a great gift for this new 2010. Thank you for this giveaway! I want one of your necklaces SO bad! Fingers crossed! Happy New Year!!
This is so cute! I love the color pop with the aqua. The bird is looking back, but facing forward. Ready to take on a new day with memories of old!
Gorgeous necklace! I think that little birdie is thinking about building up his courage to fly again.
I think the bird is thinking….”WHY is it so cold????”
He’s not thinking about anything. Just relaxing. December was much too crazy and he’s just taking in the quiet!
I’m don’t know what he is thinking but he is definitely not thinking about school, work, or stress. Probably contemplating how amazing it is to just sit in God’s presence.
I imagine he’s thinking, “What’s the big deal about tweets all of a sudden? Do it all the time.”
The little birdie is thinking that he wishes he had a camera because he would like to be able to take his own hot shots!
i bet the bird is looking for people to drop crumbs on the ground for him!
as always I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!! I think he is singing “rockin robin….tweet.. tweet…tweet… all the little birds on jay bird street” wink!
BIG HUGS,
Julie

Gorgeous piece. Thank you for being so generous with your giveaways. I don’t twitter or use Facebook but I would like to comment.
That bird is contemplating the new year and all it might hold.
Thank you again for sharing the beauty
I think the bird is thinking that if it snows it should be easier to see the birdseed that we will put out for him - Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful necklace!
That little birdie (assuming it’s me) is taking in the quiet.
And wondering why oh why those below rush around so.
“Be still, and know that I am God…”
So beautiful. Congratulations on another beautiful design.
OK, I sent folks over from my facebook page. (love the bird, what can I say?)
I think it is wondering how much snow we’re going to be getting here in the Midwest!
And I just retweeted on twitter!
if it’s anything like me, it’s thinking “ooh, shiny!”
Oh, the birdie is probably thinking about spring. Or maybe I’m thinking so much of spring, I’m projecting my thoughts onto the bird. Great necklace! One of my favorites of yours so far.
Beautiful piece!! I think the birdie is just taking a break from its busy day and enjoying a moment of rest, a moment of quiet, a moment to take in the great view it has of our beautiful planet!
lisa….love this give-away! who wouldn’t? this bird is speaking to me.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is life not more important than food and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life.
Matthew 6:25-27 New International Version
The bird is thinking how nice it is to take the time to just sit back and enjoy- and probably how crazy we look, moving around in such a hurry
He is thinking; “What A Wonderful World….” just like Louis Armstrong sang. I can’t get that song out of my head. And this necklace is just beautiful!
just another thought….(as i already commented…this was an after thought)
i think you need to make a “charm” bracelet of all your “bird” charms! i love them all! birds are very sentimental to me…..you make it hard to choose between your necklaces….they speak to me, each one of them with birds! thanks for you work!
I think he is wondering how long it would take to fly to Hawaii where it is warm.
That birdie is wondering which bird bath he should head to for his daily bath
he is thinking about where he should fly to next!
Maybe he is thinking, “That car beneath me is much too clean……”
What a pretty necklace! Everything you make is so wonderful and original.
I think she’s dreaming up her next song… composing in her little head until she can’t keep it in anymore and just has to start singing!
He’s wondering when it’s going to turn into spring!
LOVE the necklace!!
That little birdie on the wire is thinking…
All is well! After all, His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me!
Oh my! This necklace screams Lisa Leonard! Every time I see a bird on a wire, I think of you and your photos!! And the xo….always in your emails. So lovely!
I think the bird is meditating….so hopefully he’s thinking of nothing.
I think the birdie is thinking about how big the world looks from his peaceful little spot high above the noise and commotion.
I think the bird is thinking about what new area he should explore next. There are just so many options when you can soar through the skies!
I think the bird is daydreaming about “do-nothing” days, like I do!
Eeeee! I imagine he is thinking about how adorable he is on that necklace!!
I think that little birdie is sitting up counting my kids just the same way my kids ride in the car trying to count all the birdies. I love this necklace- thanks for the chance to win!
Ok, I tweeted, retweeted and facebooked about it!
I think he is wondering why we are all so crazy busy and thinking that he is the wise one! Gorgeous new necklace!
He is thinking that about what his WORD for 2010 should be
My word this year is not an action word, but has something to do with the birdie. Actually, I chose “Sparrow” because a sparrow reminds me that God is always watching over me…I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free…His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. A simple reminder that He sees all, knows all, cares about all and is IN all. So your birdie is singing.
I tweeted and…
…it also posted to my facebook page.
I think this little birdie is thinking about his love…..don’t crows mate for life?
Love the new necklace- just beautiful!
Lovely colors and design - LOVE it! <3 The the little bird is thinking that she’s so over winter! Oh, and she is ever so thankful the feeders are always full of yummy seeds!
the little birdie is definitely thinking how crazy we all must be running around at such a fast pace every day. the birdie should tell us to relax and enjoying the moments we are in.
that little birdie is thinking…..”enjoy life. each moment is a g i f t .
{ps. fly me over to that sweet girl (that’s me)….i want to live around her neck}.” xo
hmmm… he looks like he’s wondering where all his friends went!
The little birdie just have no idea why i think it is so hard and impossible to move to usa from Czech republic and find a job there to. He can just fly there. Oh how happy he is. But maybe he is right, i need to focus on that it is doable and pray for it, cause i know it is Gods way for me to live and work in USA. And he will sure provide.
This bird represents me. Represents my “waiting” period. I’m waiting on God to give me peace and the final, “GO!” Years ago he placed Missions in Thailand on my heart. However, due to circumstances at home I am called to be obedient and take care of my parents to the best of my abilities. So, I wait… wait for the time when I am able to spread my wings and fly. To be able to not only see, but FEEL God’s heart for his people. For my own heart to love and continue to grow for God’s people. So… just as the bird has thought to wait, I will wait. For we know that God’s timing is perfect. =)
hmm, why he’s all alone? and where dinner is?!
little birdie is day dreaming of happiness, ideas and getting some inspiration, absorbing the world!
That’s what I would be thinking about if I were him!
I’m pretty sure he’s thinking he should be resting above the heart of our lovely youngest who just LOVES birds!
I tweeted…which is very appropriate for this birdie giveaway.
Posted your link on Facebook as well
He is thinking about where that girl birdie went off to!
he’s probably thinking, “what the heck are all those crazy people doing down there???”
I think he’s thinking about how complicated humans make things, needlessly.
This is just lovely! I think the bird is quite Charming! And he’s thinking….I like this woman who is wearing me…she’s quite charming too!” Than would be me!
I tweeted!
And I facebooked ya!
And you’re all linked up!
The birdie is thinking about God’s faithfulness and knows that he is not forgotten before God (Luke 12:6).
he is thinking how lucky he is to be free to fly away at a moments notice. soar above the clouds and take in all the wonder below.
He’s thinking how grateful he is. That the world is his, he can go anywhere….
He’s thinking about his next meal…
the birdie is thinking about whether the wire makes her bum look big :o) Happy New Year!!
I think he’s just taking a deep breath…
I shared ya on FB!
He’s thinking he sure is glad he’s up there and not down here. What a view and to feel the wind in his feathers, so free! I LOVE turquoise.
He is looking out beyond the foamy waves at the great expanse beyond … wondering what it would be like to take off and fly away into the unknown.
Love the necklace and the postcards look sweet too. I think the birdie is feeling gratitude for his perch.
I think he’s thinking about how crazy those people look on the ground who are always rushing around!
I love this necklace! I love to look at your pictures as much as I love to see your jewelry. I invested in a nice camera last year after taking a photography class. My favorite subject is my kids. I get inspiration from you! I love you new design and what it represents. I am reminding myself and my kids to look around and enjoy the moment, don’t look for what is coming next.
I think he’s thinking about spring.
Man, I can’t even tell you how much I love your beautiful jewelry. I have been dropping hints for a long time for my husband to buy me one but I think I’m just going to have to order one myself or win one! I think the little birdie is thinking about how good the air feels blowing through his little feathers.
I think the little bird is gazing at a beautiful girl bird along the wire and wondering what song he can sing to win her affection
Wow what a gorgeous necklace, so cute!
I am hoping that the birdie is thinking for me and will answer my question………..Shall I move to Marseille, France or stay here in the UK?
From his perch he would be thinking about the splendor of God’s world, vast and beautiful!
It’s wondering if anyone would see if he left a little present on the car in the driveway.
LOVE IT!!!! I think that the birdie is thinking…when will it be spring. Yes - I live in Canada, so I can’t wait for spring.
I think the little sweet birdie is thinking about his friends in the flock
I retweeted!
He’s just looking down at us running around like crazy and thiking we should all just slow down!
That necklace is gorgeous! I think the little birdie is thinking about how she’s going to spend the rest of her day. Maybe reading a good book or doing a little shopping?
Thanks, Lisa!
He represents my father who passed away on Christmas eve after a very long battle with cancer. That night a bird was nesting on my wreath on my door and flew in our house and sat on the top of the Christmas tree like it was watching over us. I think he’s happy and enjoying the view from up there.
That little birdie is probably looking down and saying, “What in the world is going on down there?”
I think he is thinking about spring and that it is way to cold right now!
Love the necklace!
Probably thinking that “birds of a feather flocking together” sounds like a good way to stay warm these days.
Lovely piece! This little birdie is taking a step back and taking it all in - taking time to reflect is something that I need to be reminded to do!
The little birdie….if it was around my neck…would be thinking….
“brrrrrr…these below zero MN temperatures are frightful! I wish someone in a warmer climate would have won.”
Too bad Little Birdie….this gal in MN is feeling lucky!
LOVE the blue stones on this fabulous new creation! Would LOVE to win it and your postcards too. they are great! Just re-tweeted you. Heading over to FB to tell my friends about you!
What is the bird thinking…? Today he is thinking about staying warm, looking toward the sun, and loving his freedom!
he or she is probably thinking of where the best sunny spot would be to warm it’s feathers on these cold winter days.
He’s imagining a much warmer place with no snow!
What a great necklace - and I love all your inspired photography! It makes me want to get back on the horse and start at it again. I think that bird is just sitting. Watching. Watching the stories unfold below him and making up his own stories to fill in the blanks.
I think that the bird is up there looking down at us in utter disbelief of all the running around we do.
We’re always in a hurry, trying to accomplish the endless list of chores and errands on top of raising our children and holding a job. The bird is amazed at “what an average day for a human is”.
Love the necklace, especially the aqua stones.
and I facebooked! :o)
That bird is thinking “how nice it is to be alone sometimes”…
I think that birdie is thinking about a great plan to come inside my kitchen and steal a piece of my recently baked orange glazed cake!
I would imagine that bird is wondering where all the other birds are. When our four year old sees lots of birds on a wire he always says they are at “bird church.” Maybe this bird just got to the service a little early.
Maybe the bird is resting on her way south. She would love to take shelter on a nearby patio, but the cat sits there patiently, too! I think teh stones look a little like robin’s eggs; maybe she is looking to the future?
I think he is wondering why we are all running around, crazy with worry. God has taken care of him and he knows He will take care of us, too.
maybe this bird is practicing being mindful which is what i have vowed to do this year …..
I think if he lives in any southern state right now, he’s thinking about snow!!
I imagine that the bird is just enjoying his view of God’s creation. I’m sure it is even more wonderful from up there.
I imagine the birdie is thinking about what a nice giveaway and wishes he/she could sign up for it….heeheehee!
If the birdie is outside your window looking in, I’m sure the birdie is wishing to come in and share the warmth.
Happy New Year,
What a great way to start off the year!
If the birdie is in Omaha, he’s thinking when is this weather going to stop!!!:)
i think the birdie is thinking he wants to rest around Mel’s neck!
Thanks for the beautiful giveaway! I really hope I get this one! I think that everytime though…
Mr.Bird is thinking he is glad he got up early and got a jump on the day!
Wishing you the best in 2010!!
I think that little bird is thinking “I bet those people down there wish they would fly and relax up here like I can” which is true.
Thank you for this great opportunity!
That little birdy is thinking about spring and wishing it were here!!! Love your designs.
Cheryl Sims
I tweeted about this giveaway

Spring! Spring! and no more of this frigid weather!
I imagine she is thinking about which way she wants the wind to take him…how she should change her life…which path should she follow, where will God take her when she choices to follow him…oh wait, that might be what I am thinking! Which is why this necklace would be a perfect fit…Love all your work!!
I think the little birdie is thinking I didn’t fly far enough south! It’s cold down here too!
I love your designs and I’m so envious of your eye for photography!
that little birdie is thinking - i need some warm sunshine on my little face !!!
That little birdie must be wondering… “why all the hustle and bustle down there? I have nothing to worry about, He has everything under control and meets all of my needs”
Love the colored stone, beautiful.
I think the little bird is wondering if it’s worth always being the early bird.
My little birdie is thinking about her new addition on the way!
That bird is wishing he would have flown further south for the winter. We’re getting single digit lows down in Mississippi and that NEVER happens!
If that little birdie is a mama I’m sure she is thinking about what she should feed her kiddos for dinner, something healthy would be great, but mac and cheese sounds like winner…how much homework will need to get done…will everyone get a bath or shower tonight (including mama?)…will she get the kids in bed by 8:00 so she can have an hour all to herself, maybe even spend a little quiet time with her hubby…and then remember how blessed she is to have such a wonderful life! What a beautiful necklace Lisa!
I would say SHE is thinking. ” From Up Here, Life Is Grand”
he’s probably wondering where his friends are!! I always see birds in flocks, rarely flying solo!
I think the birdie is thinking about singing a song of praise to His beautiful Creator.
This little birdie is thanking God for his wings so he doesn’t have to be down around all the crazy drivers who don’t know how to drive in the snow and are going too fast.
I think the bird is just taking it all in and hanging. Just what we should try to do every once in a while!
Lovely!
If I were that bird, I’d be enjoying the peace and quiet and solitude, and then would probably take a nap.
(Did I mention that I’m the mother of a VERY ACTIVE 2 year old whose molars are coming in?)
I think the bird is contemplating the meaning of life or possibly just his next meal.
I think that bird is is looking at the sky and loving all of life, whether it’s simple or complicated. That’s what I’d do if I were a bird!
Definitely just catching her breath and enjoying the scenery before continuing on her journey!
I posted on facebook
So beautiful! I imagine that bird is just taking in the peacefulness of the morning - just like I’m trying to do right now.
His eye is on the sparrow and I KNOW he watches me.
I love this giveaway. The bird is thinking about its next flying adventure
Tweeted
The birdie is thinking “what a super cute kid”, as he’s watching my son play while hanging from around my neck!!! Happy New Year!
Ah, this is the life!
the little bird is wondering what all the fuss is about down below.
i wish i had’nt skipped breakfast now where’d that worm go
if that little birdie were sitting on a wire here, he’d be wondering… when, oh when will i see the sun again?!
He’s thinking about how he would love to make his home around MY neck.
He’s thinking about his food (says the very pregnant lady!).
I think the little birdie is dreaming about her next big adventure in the sky.
Wow! The new necklace is just beautiful! I think he’s dreaming of a snow day. Oh, wait, that’d be me!
I think the little birdie is thinking about serenity. Taking a break from all its flying and stopping to watch the wind blow.
He’s thinking “what a beautiful day!”
I love this new necklace and thank you so much for the chance to win! I think that the bird is watching people….he’s probably thinking how crazy we are. We always have something to do and somewhere to go and if you all are like me, we are usually doing these things in a hurry. I bet it looks quite funny to watch! It really is a small reminder to slow down once in a while at least!
The bird is thinking that my wife would LOVE this necklace!
I also just shared this giveaway on facebook and my blog!
I think the bird is thinking about how peaceful it is up there & how crazy we all must be down here!
I love this necklace! I love all of your necklaces! 
I think the little birdie is thinking, “all those people down there need to stop and smell the roses.” Lisa~that orange is a great color on you! So great to see you the other day. xoxo
It is thinking how cool it would be if a worm appeared. Yep, lunch! Absolutely love the necklace!
He’s wondering where to fly off next…
Despite all the heartache and grief, if I had to do it over again…I would so that I could experience the joy and love for a second time.
I think he’s thinking how peaceful it is up there and how crazy we all are down here rushing around and not taking time to enjoy the peaceful moments!!! Kind of reminds you to stop and remember what life is really all about!
I would imagine he’s thinking about how big the world is and how much he has left to see, after he finds lunch.
Great idea for a necklace. It’s beautiful!
I think he’s thinking “I wish it was Spring”!
hmmmm…i imagine this little birdie to be wondering which blessed, beautiful woman will get to wear me…
Beautiful necklace. I think the bird might be wondering where his/her friends are… in late fall and spring, in an area near us, there are hundreds of birds that land on overhead wires and then swoop around in big groups. It amazes me every time. I’ve even stopped to take pictures of the birds on the wire. Love this.
Thinking about all the snow that should start to fall at noon here today . . . Can’t wait to be “snowed in” with the kids so we can sled and spend time together!
Great new piece and btw, I just LOVE my necklace that my hubby ordered from you—Thanks!
The birdie is wondering when I will find a job as a new nurse. He is looking for a job for me.
Darling! I think the birdie is contemplating the meaning of life while dreaming of (gummy) worms for dinner.
I think the bird is watching his friends arriving for their morning chat on the wire.
I think the bird is thinking “Thank goodness I do not live in MN” It is so cold here right now - I am wishing I was someplace warm.
That adorable little bird must be thinking “Why didn’t I join all of my friends when they left to fly south for the winter? I’m cold and lonely.”
I think he is trying to decide what is the best way to fly south. Wish I could join him!
I also re-tweeted your tweet about the contest. Can’t link to it from work, but my twitter ID is rlmoore1
He’s thinking about how dang freezing it is lately!
LOVE that bird, and I just saw that book last night- WAY fun ideas for the new camera we got for Christmas!
What a cute necklace! I love the blue stones. I think the bird is just taking in her surroundings– it reminds me of a spring day after the rain– it seems like a fresh start!
I’m glad you posted that book– I’ve been wanting to improve my photography, I’ll have to check out this one!
LOVE this necklace! fun giveaway!
I’ve shared this on facebook
Absolutely gorgeous! Just what i need to remind me to slow down and be present. I think the bird is thinking about . . . which direction is next? Which direction will life take me this year?
He’s thinking of how special he is to have a necklace made of him! So adorable. Love the color!
I just retweeted this on twitter too.
I would imagine the little birdie is just living in the moment and enjoying the view from up there. It keeps things in perspective.
Great necklace! I love the touches of aqua.
I think the bird is taking a minute to rest and regain his direction before flying off on another adventure.
The little birdy is telling me to be kind to myself and others!
The little bird is thinking that he wants to live around Debbie’s neck! Love it!
The little birdie is looking at the great big blue sky and is thinking about flying a loop-dee-loop. Just because he can!!
I think he’s thinking he went somewhere warm!
Oh how beautiful!!!! LOVE the new necklace design. I bet the bird is thinking “ha, all those people rushing around down there-I can just hang out here all day and relax!”
If he is here in MO he is thinking about finding a place with no snow so he can find some food. I have really been thinking of the birds and all the animals that live outside right now. We have so much snow and seriously negative temps. I just love your creativity.
I think the bird is thinking “be still” for just a moment.
I imagine the birdie is thinking how lucky he is that you created him!!
I think the little birdie is saying, “if only they could see what I see from up here. Then they’d know how beautiful they all really are and how magnificent their world is. And then they would believe.”. Deep thoughts for a little bird but he has a lit of time to think fro
up there on that wire.
She is thinking about twitting!
The little birdie reminds me of my sweet angel daughter who passed away when she was 13 days old. She flew to heaven and looks down upon us here on Earth. One day, we will meet again. Love, love your jewelry. : )
I think he’s seeing all the food we have leftover from Christmas - sweet boxes, Christmas cake, mince pies, sausage rolls, etc and wishes and hopes we’d throw some out for him and his family to eat and enjoy
If the little birdie is in Iowa, she’s not seeing anything beause it is snowing and blowing here so hard you can’t hardly see out my front door.
Oh my goodness, Lisa, you have taken your art to a whole new level!! I adore this design. I think the bird just might be contemplating who to drop a surprise on. hmpfh!
Facebooked! http://www.facebook.com/lizannspencer
Just precious!!
I love this! And the aqua beads add such a lovely touch. I bet that birdie is waiting on his friends so they all could fly south together. It’s a long trip to make all by yourself
I think this bird is resting simply because it’s time to rest….which is something we should all be respectful of regarding ourselves! Sometimes you just need to lay down your head and rest easy before the next task. Love the design!
I love this necklace! I think the birdie is thinking how amazingly wonderful it is to be a birdie, singing the days away.
And tweeted! http://twitter.com/lizannspencer
I’m purchasing that book today! Thanks!
Just tweeted and facebooked this!
Love, love, love your stuff! Will be getting hubby’s Feb. b-day gift from you!
From the cold, freezing snow in Indy, that birdie has to be thinking, “and why didn’t I just fly south” . But to me it speaks of SIMPLICITY, which happens to be my word this year! Just taking things easy, not stressing, and enjoying life and all it has to offer. As always love the design and thanks for the opportunity to win!
I think the bird is wondering when lunch is. That’s what my youngest is asking, so it seemed appropriate!
You have beautiful jewelry!
Why the little birdie on the wire is sighing with relief at having escaped the paparazzi since Ms. Leonard made him a celebrity on one of her designer jewelry pieces! He is probably singing a little song of thankfulness up on that wire.
Darling piece, as always. Such talent.

I think the birdie is thinking “the view from up here is nice :)” Thanks for the opportunity to win your amazing jewelry!
I think the birdie is looking up at the One who created him and saying thank you for this calm, quiet rest.
I tweeted this!
I think that birdie is thanking God for His provision and for the beauty he sees before him. What a beautiful way to bring a reminder of calm in our own lives.
He’s thinking he can’t wait ’til Spring! =)
I imagine the little birdie to be daydreaming the day away…..nothing to do but sit high up on a wire, gazing around at her surroundings.
Facebook shared.
As a native Californian now living in Northern Virginia, I think this little bird is telling ME to slow down, stop, be in the moment w/ my son (special needs) as I tackle his special diet and therapy here at home……AND to stop complaining about the cold temps (longing for my flip-flop beach climate back home)….HE has us here for a reason in this season! Thanks Lisa. Love your jewelry and blog (met you thru your sister at CCCLH.)
Okay, just posted on my Facebook!
I posted this on facebook, but couldn’t figure out how to link to show that I did due to my privacy settings. Love your jewelry… especially all of the birds!
“I just love the sun on my cheeks and the wind in my wings”
I bet that little birdie is enjoying God’s creation and soaking in the view! LOVE this new necklace!
i bet that birdy is wondering why he bothered flying south for the winter if it’s this stinkin’ cold in florida!!!
also tweeted & facebooked
I think the bird is thinking about getting reunited with all the bird friends that have already headed south for the winter. Spring must be a good time for bird reunions. Bring it on!!
He’s thinking about why all the humans down below don’t slow down to enjoy the world around them. clamcpo@wavecable.com
If I was that little birdie, I’d be thinking about a nap today!
I think the birds are wondering what the fuzz is all about!
I think he is thinking about where to fly to next. He looks like a very forward thinking bird!
Love that little birdie! I think he’s wondering why everyone is in such a mad rush down on the ground. And, also, how great it is to be able to fly!!
I think the little birdie is thinking “Life is good!”
He’s wondering where his little chicks are!!

Maybe he’s thinking, I love my creator. (You decide if he means God or you, LL!) I LOVE this piece. It just shot to the top of my LL wish list.
I think the bird is thinking how lucky it is to have such freedom to move from one place to another and what a beautiful view it has from this perch.
He’s thinking about what’s going to happen in the next year and wondering if it is going to be as crazy as the last!
“Wonder if I could fly all the way to the moon?”
I bet the birdie is wondering what all the hustle and bustle is all about… God provides for him, why don’t we stop worrying and allow God to provide fur us too?
I’d say, with his bird’s eye view, he is thinking “What’s all the hurry down there?”
“I wonder when my family will be joining me on my little wire to share this great view with me”
The birdie is thinking: “Hey! Where’d everyone go? Don’t we usually flock together on wires? Did I get the wrong wire again!?!”
Little Birdie - oh how i think i may sit in the sun awhile
I think the little birdie is sitting there in awe of all the hustle and bustle below him - and thinking how much better it would be if people would remember Luke 12:24, “Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?”
Lisa,
I love your necklaces and have so been itching to get another…they always match my mood or something I just through on…they are amazing! I have also really needed a reminder of how things need to be simple!
He’s wondering, “are you my mother?”
He’s wondering how long he can sit on that wire and enjoy his break.
i want to win this giveaway! sign me up.
just yesterday i was sitting in the a.m. watching as some lit’l birds flew to the edge of our roof, than dove to the ground. they seemed to be playing a game with each other. they were darling, and those moments were peaceful.
i think they weren’t thinking- were just living, flying, enjoying. the bird on the wire is a reminder to me to stop, not just physically, but everything, take in some rest, and then begin again.
add me again, cause i’m facebooking your give away!
I think the bird is enjoying the view!
“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings” -James Matthew Barrie
The birdie is thinking we all need reminders that He provides for the least of these.
Today, the birdie is thinking “brrrrrrr, it’s cold!”. Thanks for sharing the giveaway!
My little birdie is realising he just doesn’t need to fly away to be free. He is free because he is a bird. He is free because he knows he can fly. he is free because he doesn’t have to think. He just is!
And that’s why we always say - Free as a bird!!
Wonderful give away. I’m going to tweet this …and add your wonderful blog to my blog list. I’m doing a give away of inspirational calligraphy if you have time to drop by (see Dec 31st @Signed by Ange)
snow has been falling half the night and almost all of today, and i imagine the little birdie is thinking, “i should have flown south when i had the chance.” i love the new necklace. so so cute!
The birdie (at least at our house) is thinking how much peace our Lord Saviour bestows when we only ask…..
i betting that hes thinking how thankful he is not to be in the snow right now lol.
he is thinking that he has been lonely and wants to hang around the neck of a new mom
The little birdie is thinking about the tender care of the Heavenly Father who sees even the little sparrows. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I think the little birdie is thinking about the New Year and new start that he’s about to adventure into! Thanks for the opportunity!
I think that little bird if thinking it would love to be hanging around my neck !
I think he’s thinking about the sunshine - where is it and when is Spring coming?
Thanks for the chance … Happy New Year!
That birdie is thinking - Wow. That is the most gorgeous color aqua blue berry I have ever seen. I must eat it up.
Great giveaway! Thank you!
I think the birdie wishes he was where I am - southern Arizona! It’s nice and warm here!
I think the bird is watching the hustle bustle down below and thinking where food may be! Lovely necklance!
also facebooked this!
I think he’s thinking how special he must be that God cares about the sparrows.
Wonderful giveaway! What a lot of comments!!
Spring and warmth!
I think the bird is wondering when all this snow is going away.
Nothing like a handmade piece of jewelry. Delicate. Creative. Lovely.
Thank you!
That little bird is thinking how much he wants to fly to my house and perch in my jewelry box! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Maybe this little bird is not thinking at all. Maybe he just “is”–is one with the earth,the wind, the sky, and his creator. The older I get the more stuff seems to clutter up my mind, and sometimes all I want to do is just turn everything off. Some of my favorite things are to lie on the beach and feel the sun on my skin, or to sit on the porch during a storm and smell the rain, or to catch a snowflake on my tongue and just savor the moment. Oh, to have the freedom of this little bird on a wire to rise above the worries and cares of life and just sit there and “Be” for a while. Hey! I do have that freedom. I can sit on my wire for a while whenever I want !
He is thinking about his next flight and taking a leap of faith.
Really beautiful necklace.
Also facebooked !
I think he’s thinking how nice the sunshine feels on his back..
I LOVE the new charm, very sweet! I think the bird is thinking about nothing - just feeling the wind and being at one in the moment…at least that’s what I wish I did more often!
She is thinking about finding her true companion.
i think I may have a new favorite necklace! I love it!
He’s thinking, wonder what the view is like in Michigan? I can tell him - snow and more snow! But that’s ok cause he’d stay warm around my neck!
Beautiful new design, love the color!
he’s thinking, “when will summer be here?”
I don’t think the bird is thinking. I think the bird is “being”.
Isn’t it lucky?
Soaring.
hum, he’s thinking “boy, this sunshine sure feels good, glad i live in California!” LOVE this!
I think he is laughing at my crazy dog rolling around in the snow. Seems like a great place to sit and watch the antics.
Her little peepers.
He wondering when my husband is going to refill the bird feeder. (Me too, little birdie.)
He’s thinking how nice it is to be still and enjoy the moment! And how yummy that first cup of coffee tastes in the morning!
As always, thank so much for sharing!
Have a great day!
xoTiffany
he’s thinking, “this year’s got to be better than last.”
That sweet little bird is thanking God for a place to perch and for his daily worm! Just beautiful, Lisa…I hope you realize how insightful and inspiring you and you work is. Truly a blessing to this Memphis girl!
He’s thinking, “This will be an amazing year!”
the birdie is contemplating all the possibilities. there are so many out there!
the little birdie thinks, “juliecache’s family is playing in the meadow, acting happy and sounding fun.”
It’s thinking….”I love the quiet!”
Shared on facebook
Just keeping an eye on the world! How sweet, Lisa!
He’s composing a Haiku in his head.
I think that bird is praising God for all that is good in the world. It’s a beautiful necklace and a superb giveaway. Thanks!
I’m on-line. Let’s chat.
I think the bird is thinking …
It’s 2010 … bring on the bling
Lisa wishing you a brilliant 2010 and all things creative for you this year.
Regards,
Karen, Cape Town South Africa
I imagine he’s thinking about taking a nap. or maybe that is just me ….
He’s thinking, “I wish everyone could see the view from up here!”
That little birdie is thinking “Lisa Leonard rocks!” This is a generous and wonderful giveaway that I would LOVE to win.
Kelly O’B
I imagine the little bird is thinking about absolutely nothing! I think he has a clear mind and is simply breathing and observing the world around him — no worries, no fears, NOTHING. I wish I could be that bird!
I think that little robin is thinking that she belongs on another Robyn’s neck.
The little birdie is thinking about the sunny days that are to come in summer and watching the kids run and play and enjoy life.
Probably wondering where his/her mate is and when he/she is coming
I think the bird is imagining all of the opportunities in the upcoming year and reminding herself to not be afraid to fly.
I think that bird is thinking we all seem ridiculous rushing around like all the little things we are doing are important. That bird also thinks in run on sentences too;).
He is thinking ‘I might fly to England I hear its real nice’ x
That little birdie is thinking that all things are possible this year…
I imagine she’s thinking about how grateful she is for all that is around her.
Beautiful design!
beautiful necklace, that bird is thinking ‘ just breathe’
the bird is thinking: that sun is lovely. Too bad it’s so bright it’s scaring the worms away!
He’s probably thinking, “what is the rush?”… wish I were sitting on a wire, instead of my office! :o)
Super cute necklace! I like the coloured pearls - great splash of colour!
I imagine that little birdy way up there is thinking how clear the view is when you are so free
What a wonderful giveaway!! Thank you!
Well, if the little birdier were here in MN today, I would imagine it’d be contemplating a warm place to hide from the cold air and snow! Or even better, where it could find a feathered buddy to snuggle up to!
I think he must be a mocking bird saying “Here’s another beautiful Lisa Leonard necklace that you don’t have!” LOL And the photography book looks so fun! And post cards - sweet!!!
I think he is thinking that we are all nuts down here!
gorgeous photo of you!
I just shared a link on Facebook - woohoo, another entry!!!
If I were that bird, I’d be thinking of heading somewhere warm and tropical where there isn’t 6 inches of snow on the ground.
How beautiful! I think he is thinking about how lucky he is to be sitting in such a quiet peaceful spot! and I am thinking about how lucky I would be if he were sitting on my neck! Love the design!
Simply precious little bird~
I imagine he would be thinking little bird thoughts…
Free to fly ~ no cage for me!
My dad’s pet name for me has always been “Little Bird”
and I have always had an affinity for the little creatures.
This is my favorite so far, Lisa!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this simple beauty.
{{* *}}
the little birdie is thinking how peaceful.
I imagine he’s thinking about how his Creator cares for him, without him worrying about a thing! *beautiful* necklace!
I think the birdie is thinking about how warm the sunshine feels on his back.
I bet he’s thinking about the love of his life.
I absolutely adore your jewelry designs, by the way!
Thinking about a trip to the warm south! At least any birds here in our 6″ of snow are probably thinking that. Love your designs!
I think he’s thinking of all the possibilities that are before him…if he’d only leap!
They look like ants from up here.
“I could really go for a big juicy worm right about now.”
that birdie is sitting on the wire looking at Gods creation and adoring the beauty of it, then looking down at all us people and thinking: they are all in such a hurry that they don’t see the beauty of God’s creation because they are too distracted to see it!!
Beautiful necklace, I think the birdie is calling to his friends to come sit and enjoy the scenery for awhile..
The necklace ia adorable… I bet the little bird is thinking about the weather… Who doesn’t like to think about the weather?
The little bird is thinking…
“You know, it’s only 72 more days till Spring.”
I think that the birdie is thinking how wonderful it is to be on such a beautiful necklace, and how jealous all the other birdies must be.
The little bird is thinking about where he will fly to next…With a new decade here, I myself am thinking about where I will fly to next. Maybe we can fly together = ]
Just posted on facebook…yay! another entry!
I love birds! Hope I win. it would make my day.
The little Birdie is thinking about watching over me today like my Guardian Angel. Making sure I get through the day with my children and my family. Granting me the strength to deal with my fathers Alzheimers, to embrace everyone around me and not to let the “small” things get to me.
Lisa-Marie
I think she is thinking about her lovely ‘husband’ bird - some birds mate for life, like swans… and is glad and thankful everyday for the sweet companionship and adventure they share.
I think he is pondering life, the universe, and everything ;D
I believe that he is thinking about how peaceful it is on that wire, way up in the sky.

I tweeted, http://twitter.com/laprochaine/status/7492502378
I posted on facebook too!
The little bird is thinking “when is she going to get out here and fill that feeder, I’m hungry!”
That bird on the wire isn’t thinking, he is enjoying the quiet and just being. Love, love, love this beautiful new necklace. Would look great around my neck!
I’m thinking the little bird is a Robin looking, from up high, for it’s namesake,” me”, in the northern most part of Upper Michigan, wanting to go home!!
She is thinking she would like to move to live near my new cabin when I move in a couple weeks!
I think the little birdie is thinking about food, shelter, the necessities of life. The little bird is probably also savoring the sunshine and wondering why we humans are spend so much time caught up in or chasing things that really don’t matter while our children look on wondering why they aren’t important enough for us to be chasing them, playing with them, reading to them, savoring their moments! I’m going to go hug my son right now!
The little birdie is thinking about how glad he is that he’s able to slow down and just watch the world go by.
The bird is thinking about flying away into the sun and soaring through the clouds.
just retweeted!!
He’s thinking he’s like to head for warmer territory (it’s coooooold here in Colorado!!)!
snow on the branches looks like powdered sugar!
The bird is thinking of it’s Creator and being in the stillness of His presence. Beautiful necklace!
I feel certain he’s thinking of how pretty he would look on my neck!! Beautiful jewelry, as always. And love your pics!
Have a great day!
This adorable bird is thinking about what a great year 2010 will be for everyone!
Love the new necklace! Every new design makes me go oooh! The turquoise is so fun!
I think that bird is enjoying a minute alone…doesn’t everyone?

“Now where is that nest…”
I love the new necklace. It makes me think “fresh start, new year”, clean and simple.
our little baby girl, due in 5 weeks, is nicknamed “little bird”, I think this little bird is thinking about what a great family it is going to have. I know her family can’t wait to meet her. :o)
i think the bird is wondering where all the “nice” southern weather went. if he migrated to texas to escape the cold, he’s in for a rude awakening!
The little bird is thinking about how many things he can see from high up on the wire!
I imagine the birdie thinking that life is amazing!
Shared on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/arena.blake
I LOVE!! so sweet. I am not sure about your birdie there but all the birds around here seem to be hanging out & thinking of new ways to harass our dog, Lola
I’m sure it would join in the madness if it were here too…! I’m tracking down that book too, I love all your different pics…
And Twitter: http://twitter.com/anera2003
He’s not thinking…he is just BEING. A good reminder for us all at times! Beautiful necklace , blog and photography!
…if they could only see what I see….
I love it! The birdie would be thinking about how cold it is and how he wants to fly south for the winter!
i think he’s thinking “its cold here. i hope spring soon comes!”
This little birdie was in my house on Monday (by mistake of course) and so I know he is saying he feels much better being out in the great big world instead of the 4 walls of my house.
The bird necklace should fly away to my home!
I do believe that birdie was just on my fence saying, “Dear lady, thank you kindly for the treat of sunflower seeds, the snow is soooo cold”.
he’s probably wondering why all of us sillies below are rushing around!
Well that necklace is just beautiful!
I was sooooo happy today to receive the two custom necklaces I had ordered for 40th birthday gifts just in time for this weekend!
Your work is lovely! Have a great day!
beautiful, Lisa! I think the birdie is saying “why are they all going so fast??” I feel that way when I am in a plane and you look down at the first site of life, where cars become more than a steady stream of light or dark and you can almost sense the frantic pace, you begin to worry about whether or not YOUR freeway home looks like a parking lot, and you get caught up in it all again. I often wish I could just sit up there, like your little birdie for awhile and wonder what is the rush?
Facebooking now
Not sure if you can see this or not, but i posted a link on my FB page to your blog

He’s thinking what a great view for the sunrise!
The little birdie is wondering if the light blue berries are ok to eat
Little Birdie is thinking….sitting here is bliss.
The little bird is probably thinking that he would like a brand new handmade scarf to keep himself warm through the whole winter, when he outgrows it, he will pass it on to his smaller friend, edmund chickadee
I think the bird is breathing in God’s air and waiting to soar away on the next gust.
I think he’s cursing that there isn’t a single warm spot in the US to head to. “I flew south for the winter to stay warm, and now they’re even talking snow in FL!”
I think he’s looking down and saying, “I sure hope Cindy gets to bring me home!”

The little birdie is thinking about how cute he would look around my neck!
The little birdie is wanting to fly away with us on a double date!
the little birdie is hoping he’s early enough to ‘get the worm’.
He’s thinking how glad he is to have headed south for the winter to escape all the midwestern SNOW!
I facebooked about this!

Because you have the little XO circle next to the bird, I think he is wondering where is girlfriend is…waiting for her to join him on the wire
Wow Lisa,your jewelry just keeps getting prettier and prettier by the day. This piece is Gorgeous with a capital G
i think the little birdie is thinking about how fabulous this year of happy and change is going to be! here’s to 2010!
The birdie is trying to remember if he turned the iron off before leaving the nest!
He is thinking that it is too cold here in NY where I am!
I think He is thinking how good God is to let him fly free everyday without being in a cage somewhere:)
am facebooking this also for my friends:)
When I read this post I closed my eyes and thought, if there was a little bird looking over my life what would he be thinking? It was so encouraging! “what a year. became a mama. hubby finished his phd. new city. new house. exciting careers. what a life!”
The little birdie is thinking about how good it is to just sit - be still - on his own little “perch.”
just status updated about this really cool necklace on Facebook!
I think he’s thinking…if….only….I…could…turn…my…head…to…the…right…
That little birdie is thinking she is going to take her little birdie butt inside, climb into the recliner and enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate in front of the wonderful warming fire. Crazy girl missed the migration. SIgh
I think the birdie is thinking about how amazing it is to fly far and free above disease and destruction, anger and hurt, hate and cruelty.
The little birdie on the wire is thinking about what would happen if the power went out and there was an electric shock! Oh dear. Thanks
Heather
I love your jewelry. I think the bird is thinking the grass isn’t greener on the other side, I have it pretty good right where I am. Something it’s taken me a while to realize.
I think the little bird is thinking about the sunshine and how great spring will be when it gets here. Come on warmer weather!
The birdie is thinking about hugs and kisses, of course!
It is showing the world how great God can create an an amazing creature ,and how God loves each and every creature that he has made.
@saltwaterwinds just tweeted about this giveaway.
I’m pretty sure the birdie is wondering why all of the crazy people are sticking their chewed gum on a wall, re: Jan. 7th’s post. Or maybe he is marveling about how good it feels to soar with his wings spread and nothing to get in his way, smooth, calm and peaceful.
ptcbass just posted giveaway to facebook! Yeah!
I imagine that the little birdie is looking at the trees surrounding him and seeing how they have lifed their “hands” (branches) in worship to the King of the Universe. I imagine that the little birdie can see and hear more than we can and can hear the giant worship chorus going on “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God almighty”.
I want to be like that little birdie……
the bird is thinking about taking a nap because why not? it’s a nice sunny day and i have all the time in the world.
I think the bird is thinking about how thankful he is that he was made with love. And is looking forward to sharing that love to those who will wear and share him.
This little birdie is thinking….life IS simple up here, but I sure would love to have a companion sitting here with me.
What a sweet little bird! She is thinking of her past and of what lies ahead for her. She is contemplating her new journey and is uncertain, but is ready to fly off the wire!
He’s staring off into the distance, wondering whatever happened to that cute little girl bird he went to bird elementary school with, and what she’s doing now with her bird life, and if she ever thinks of him…
I bet the bird is thinking about the berry that she had just eaten and went to sit on the wire to savor the flavor, and watch the sun rise
I think he/she is daydreaming about finding the perfect mate to share life with!
He might be thinking with all the craziness down there, I am glad I am up here!
How great it must be to fly without a care in the world. Beautiful necklace!
I think the bird is thinking about how great the salty sea air feels on his face!
At least that is what I would be thinking about! 
I think he’s wishing he was looking up at my face!
…ok, fine maybe not. heehee.
MAYBE, he’s thinking about how lucky he is going to be to look up at SOMEONE’s beautiful face, wishing he were like us- fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of our Creator.
I tweeted about it! @mytwilife http://twitter.com/MyTwilife
I tweeted about the giveaway http://twitter.com/MyTwilife
What a gorgeous necklace! I think the birdie is thinking about all the wonderful place she can go and see way up there. Where it is peaceful and more beautiful than one could imagine.
The little bird is thinking about all the joy he doesn’t see in the people he sits above. He wonders how so many can miss out on the color of the sky, the puffiness of the clouds, the smell on the streets, the cacophony/symphony of the horns, cars, and tires on asphalt. He feels sorry for those who do not fly with the wings we’ve been given.
Oh my gosh!! It is a long way down.
I have no idea what that little birdie might be thinking, but I’m thinking I’d sure love such a sweet and beautiful necklace! Another amazing creation, Lisa!
Beautiful!
The little birdie is thinking about joining the flock.
That little birdie is thinking about how lucky we are to have what we have and to live where we live. While being loved by our Saviour.
oh! i love it! ENTER ME IN!
the birdy is thinking: “this is the cutest blog ever!”
xoxo- emily anne
love the new beads! the little birdie is thinking how happy it will make someone to win it!
That birdy is thinking, “How lucky am I to have such lovely blue eggs?”
Facebooked it!
That birdy is thinking, “Gotta fluff my feathers to keep me warm! Brrrr, weeee!”
tweet tweet https://twitter.com/uzzadazza
I think the bird is sitting on our telephone wire outside my window waiting for his turn at our bird feeder since food is often times hard to find this time of year.
I bet that bird is thinking how happy is being able to be up and away from the hustle and bustle of the life we live down below him.
The bird is contemplating why in the world did Alabama just get intercepted??
I think he’s wishing he had another little birdie up there to snuggle with on a cold winter night.
I think the bird is looking in the direction that his birdie mate will be flying in to join him on the line.

Beautiful necklace! I think the bird is thinking of the horizon and how far it stretches.
The sweet bird is probably thinking about cleaning up his nest …
Oh wait, that’s just me.

You’ve been Facebooked (Paige Dorroh Anderson - I’m the only one on Facebook, so it should be easy to find!!)
I’m sure he’s thinking about the simplicity of peace.
He is probably thinking about how crazy we all are down here…running around, worrying about non-important stuff!
Tweet Tweet @bankofbrookgirl
I think he’s simply enjoying his gorgeous aqua “sky”!
I think the little birdie is thinking about how thankful he is that he’s not an East coast snowbird, and enjoys sunshine & warm weather ALL the time!
Beautiful necklace!
That bird is thinking it is funny we are all speculating on his thoughts
Gorgeous necklace!
I imagine the little bird id thinking about the beautiful sunny day that brought him out to perch up on that wire. He is basking in the sun that is warming his back.
I tweeted about your amazing creations! @boffthewall
I linked back to here on Twitter also, @boffthewall
contentment
I think that sweet little birdie is looking for me to drop his sweet little bomb!!! hee hee!! No really I love this necklace and think it might be time for another LL original in Shannon’s jewelry box
Dreaming of what shapes she sees in the clouds
I commented on twitter
And I commented on facebook because I loooove you so much <3
the beautiful sky! love your stuff. thanks!
He’s thinking…
If I fly high enough will I reach heaven?
I LOVE this new necklace ~ it matches the beautiful Lisa Leonard earrings that my dear husband of 24 years surprised me with for Christmas
Blessings, Patti
Little bird thinks how lucky he is to have a bird’s eye view. Excellent reminder to keep life simple. Thanks!
I would bet he is thinking about how lucky he is to be watching all of us scurrying around below him, and counting his blessings he can fly above it all!! XOXO
Love the necklace!
flying high through sunny days
flying high through rain seeped clouds
where will i fly today?
I know …to happy lands of you and me
to rainbow fields of blue and green
My wings will take me far and near
but you are the one i will hold forever near
…thought from a birdie
Wow! What a charming necklace!
the little bird thinks about the next spring - and when it will be here…
adorable necklace!
How COLD it is in Kansas….they want to stay in Texas!
“Take a chill pill down there!!!” This is a great necklace and even if I don’t win, I’m so buying it.
It’s thinking about springtime being just around the corner (or at least that’s what I tell myself even though it’s only 2.5 weeks into winter!).
He is taking a ME day sitting on that wire. Because all of us need one (or five) of those every now and then.
I think the little birdie is sitting on the wire talking to God and counting her blessings. She is spending time with her creator and just looking “from up here” at the beautiful world that God created. It’s right before dinner time, and she’s waiting for all her little babies to come home to tell her about their adventures that day. She probably has a nice little dinner ready and can’t wait to reconnect with her family after a long day.
Gorgeous necklace, Lisa! I’ll bet it looks great with your aqua earrings! Very nice job!
Appreciating his ability and the magic of flight.
Where’d everybody go??
Happy New Year! Love your blog. : )
can i enter a 3rd time if i posted a link on my blog? just in case sign me up again!
I think the birdie is thinking about just how nice it is to bask in the sunshine.
Well we live in Kansas and right now the temp is -4….if you can imagine.. cold cold cold..so I think the bird would be thinking of where it would be able to get some warmth! At least thats what i am thinking its miserable out there..sooo cold…but then again so nice to cozy up in the house with the fireplace on and watch my 2 little boys acting crazy because they need to burn off some energy..oh my what I would do with the energy of a 2 and 5 yr old…lol…love love love your stuff! the necklace is so sweet! Hope I win it:)
left message on facebook too:)
that little bird is watching us rush around, wondering why we do, and is about to spread her wings a ride the wind to show us how to slow down and play.
He’s thinking “take each day as it comes.”
I love all of these giveaways! Thanks for sharing!!
I just told all my FB friends about your gorgeous designs and your necklace giveaway and posted a link to your website. I hated to let more people on the chance to win the necklace, but it was the right thing to do. If they don’t already know about you, I know they will love your beautiful jewelry. My DIL loved the necklace I got her for Christmas!
Now, I think our little birdie is sitting on the wire waiting for the sun to rise. She is chirping a happy little tune…maybe “His Eye is on the Sparrow.” She is happy and content spending some quiet time with the Lord before she starts a new day.
LOVE the necklace! and would LOVE it have it
i imagine the bird is looking around thinking, “does there really NEED to be a starbucks on EVERY corner?”
I think he is thinking about what beautiful green beads those are
The little birdie is thinking…man this is a thin wire….where’e my plush birdie condo? hee hee!!! Love it Lisa!!
Love your new creation - if he is living in my area he is wishing he would have migrated sooner - it is uncommonly COLD in TX. Thanks again for your generosity.
Ok, my jr high response is that he’s wondering if he can actually poop on the cars passing by like a kid spitting off the pier…hahaha…sorry, blame it on having 3 brothers!!
She’s thinking about her little chickadee’s growing up too fast! Beautiful necklace!
I have linked to your giveaway on my blog! http://hiltysprouts.blogspot.com/
Posted your link on Facebook for all my “friends” to see…yay for social media that connects us!
Peace and quiet.
If that little bird is from the Midwest, he’s watching all of this crazy snow come down and wondering when it’s going to stop!
Our youngest grandson is sick today…thinking the little bird is watching over all the kids who
are ill today and praying for a better tomorrow. Thanks for a chance to win one of your most
meaningful necklaces yet.
The birdie is thinking about spring!
i think that birdie is thinking about nothing at all. not. a. single. thing. just relishing in the pure stillness & calmness. ahhh, how lovely would that be?! {as a mom of two young ones, i relish in those quiet moments!}
“Tweet. Life is sweet.”
just FB’d it!
the beauty of being a bird is that he has no worries, no regrets, no stress. His only thoughts are of the bounty of blessings his heavenly father gives to him each day: the clear blue sky, a wire to rest upon, an early morning worm and the warmth of a nest.
The birdie is always thinking of her babe, and soon-to-be babes! They’re not my kiddos, but my nephews sure do have my heart…my little “dukes”: Beau, 1 1/2, and Luke, due Feb 7th!!! My sister absolutely ADORES her petite charm bracelet with their names on it that I gave her for Christmas that you made!! Thank you! Your work is simply amazing
I imagine the birdie is thinking about where in the world he wants to fly today…the possibilities are endless thanks to his God given talent!
I think that bird is thinking how wonderful it is to spread her wings and just FLY!!!!
I facebooked here.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=556625727
I think the bird is wondering about the meaning of life or else appreciating the jewelry makers good taste in placing the birds image on a necklace.
I think the little bird is wondering when he can fly back north again and come join us up here in beautiful British Columbia… I have a safe spot to keep him, too
Thanks for the chance… love the colours.
Ok, Just want you to know that Lynn posted you on facebook….and I love your work! Just want you to know that I think Lynn should win! I want the book…I love learning about fun shots!
P.S. Birdie is thinking about the tune he is going to sing in my window this spring!
If that bird’s in Chicago, it’s probably wondering why all the wires are so filled with snow that there’s nowhere to land!! Great necklace, Lisa. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
At this moment? He’s thinking “Man is it cold out here. My little feet are fweeezing.”
Ok that was incredibly cheesy.
He’s thinking, “Im glad I get to fly above the madness”.
The bird’s wondering why humans seem to have such a hard time living in peace with each other…we just have to give the same love we want in return.
“What a cozy resting place, here on the bosom of a woman.”
I think he is wondering why we are all in such a rush all the time…
He’s thinking….Life is good!
I think the bird is just enjoying a quiet moment to herself and taking in it’s surroundings
Awesome necklace…as always. That bird is thinking how awesome he is for getting to fly above the rest of us and be at peace all the time.
I believe that little birdie is thanking her maker that she is not in Nebraska (wind chill -40 and 20 plus inches of white stuff
Stop and take time to see the most important things in life -
Happiness is keepng life simple -It’s marveling at a breathtaking sunrise, it’s watching your child take their first step, it’s a warm hug - “It’s simple- it’s love”

Don’t you get it? it’s not that complicated! Look around you - see the beauty in the sky, in the trees, the gentle winds that let me soar the flow of a lazy stream. Take a deep breath and look around you and have joy!
…i’ll fly away, oh glory
i’ll fly away (in the morning)
…when I die hallelujah, by and by–
i’ll fly away
Ya know….I was on here earlier and was browsing thorugh the comments and thought to myself….I don’t have anything to say that hasn’t already been said, really….granted I didn’t actually read ALL 700 something comments ; ) But, then….I was in the hustle and bustle of making breakfast for my children and glanced out the kitchen window to see 2 chubbie little birdies….in my backyard. I focused on the one sitting on the wood fence….noticing how warm a full he looked eventhough the windchill was -5 degrees this morning. Then I looked the remnants of snow on the ground and thought ….how can he be so full? Then God whispered in a still small voice….remember my Words???? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Matthew 6:26
I thought about the bird on your necklace….I bet he’s sotting there thinking the same thing. : )
I think the bird’s interest has been captured by something.

I think he’s thinking about how much he can’t wait for SPRING!
Oops…tried to correct typos and it posted twice…sorry
I think the birdie is waiting for his love to meet him.
I just found your blog and I LOVE your jewelry! I’m going to start saving my pennies and buy some asap.
I’m sure the birdie is admiring the view and loving that he can fly.
i think the little birdie is thinking about what lies ahead and of all the possibilities.
she’s probably thinking how nice it is to just be who she is without any concern for what others think of her…even when her feathers get ruffled :~)
she’s thinking that if she scoots over a little bit, there will be room for that cute little birdie on the next tree over.
I beleive she is thinking about her loved ones and how she hopes they are doing well.
Great design love the necklace!
just posted to facebook!
The little birdie is thinking she needs to be around my neck. I sooooooo need her to remind me to stop rushing. Everyday I rush through life and am afraid I am teaching my beautiful twins to be the same way. I need this birdie to help me change in this new year…….for some reason I have not been able to do it on my own.
He’s thinking, “I hope Ingrid gets off the computer & comes outside to refill the birdie feeders!”. We have an amazing assortment of birdies in our yard and refilling the hummingbird nectar and bird seed is a daily to-do around here!
I am sure I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said by 777 previous posters :)… but I think the bird is saying ” When will the world be at peace like us birds”?
Great necklace as always. I have been saving some money to order another necklace(i have one) from you but now this just makes the choice harder! Or maybe just maybe I will get lucky and win one then buy another!

I need a new necklace for the new year - I hope I win!!!
“I wish it were warmer”
This little guy is thinking…”life is good”.
The little birdie hopes her feet won’t freeze to the wire!
This is my favourite necklace design yet! I think the birdie is watching for it’s friends to join it on the line.
The book looks like a great one and has piqued my curiosity. I love unique photography ideas; it’s a great way to help you see things around you in a different light; to see the potential beauty in the mundane. It gives me a great excuse to play around with my camera and to take even MORE creative pictures.
Great giveaway! I got that book in my stocking this year from my hubby! I love it! I think that Birdie is thinking “pick me, pick me, please”…just kidding. I think he’s thinking: “the view from up here is incredible!”
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Oh, and facebookin’!
800 comments, wow! Can you possibly read all of these? Haha, well Lisa I love staying updated on your life thru your blog & you really do inspire me to be more creative! The little bird is definitely thinking that she should fly to Dallas & pay me a visit, doesn’t she have relatives in Texas? Hope you guys are doing well & happy new year =) Miss you!
And that is a gorgeous picture of you btw!
I love this bird on a wire! It is a good reminder for all of us to pull back and look at the bigger picture of what is going on around us. (amazing how the details sometime are clearer and make more sense when you look at the big picture). Nice choice in stones surrounding it … like robin’s eggs!
Spring is just around the corner
The birdie is thinking about nothing. Good little Zen bird with a still, empty mind
Thanks for the chance!
Kelly @ TLE
Peace, serenity & joy!
She is looking forward to the snow melting, sun shining and for her little birdie to be able to be outside in the warmth of spring. Ok…so maybe that is what I am looking forward to!
Flying far, far away…..
Birdie is smiling at the site of looking in my window at my 3 year old Cinderella dancing in her plastic high heels!
I am loving birds right now. I think I should have followed my great, great, great, great grandfathers profession as an ornithologist.
THAT LITTLE BIRDIE IS SITTING THERE THINKING “I WOULD LOOK GOOD AROUND JACKIE’S NECK, I WANT TO GO LIVE WITH HER” XOXO

I bet that bird is thinking about eating, and he probably sees a lot that I don’t in this world…the wonders of the natural world, eh?
So cute!! I love it. And how pretty are the postcards?
also, I RT’d your tweet
i love, LOVE your necklaces! i don’t wear much jewellery but i do covet your designs.
The bird is thinking that he wants to join the lisa leonard necklace that arrived at my house today. He is wanting to come to Indiana so he can see the foot of snow and be reunited with the most beautiful necklace in the world!
where i’ve parked my car…
and i love the photography book! thanks for sharing where you got your fab ideas
if he’s here in StLouis, he’s probably wishing he flew South for the winter!
Adorable necklace- Thanks for the chance to win!
You are the best!
“His eye is on the sparrow and I know He’s watching me”
It’s so nice being free and independent Why those two feeted who are stuck in earth have so many worries?
” what are the humans doing so much sound? they could have such a beautiful melody..”
Sorry for my bad english, i’m french! =)
the necklace is just fantastic, and the idea of the giveaway great!
No… nobody else has spotted that worm. It’s all mine.
I’m thinking if there were any little birdies sitting around here they’d be frozen to the wire wishing they would have gotten the heck out a dodge before it got cold!
NEGATIVE 26 here tonight! Yikes!
I think the little bird is thinking about his next adventure.
I think the birdie is thinking about the beautiful sunshine.
Such a pretty idea. Thanks for your generosity.
i think he’s thinking that it’s waaaay to cold in Texas right now
Why he/she likes to sit on the wire?
Definitely not worrying.
The birdie on the wire is thinking “I would love to adorn the neck of a lovely lady who is celebrating her first year of sobriety.”
The little bird is trying to figure out what tune to sing next. I’m thinking a hymn, perhaps “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”.
He is definitely thanking God that he was created to a bird. Thankful he is not one of the crazy, busy, worrying, materialistic creatures he watches from the wire.
If he’s any where near the midwest (where we live), he’s thinking how do I get out of here to a warmer place … I guess that’s what I’ve been thinking too the last week. Brrrr….. Maybe Monday it might be in the 30’s a heat wave!
i think the little birdy is thinking about naptime =)
Little bird is just enjoying the pause, the deep breathe after a busy day, at peace while beauty and chaos surround. Wait, or is that me?
He is thinking about how happy he is that he is free and that he can fly
The birdy is thinking about how lucky he is to be outside on such a lovely day!
oh, dear God, I want that necklace!
The bird, I imagine, is enjoying a moment of peace, contemplating the beauty around it.
He is thinking about how much better this year is going to be
I think it is thinking ,where is my mommy:)
Beautiful!
The bird is thinking about one of two things. It is either thinking about te gorgeous view or it is thinking about not falling off the rather high wire.
Bird on a Wire is the banner on our ph-balanced blog! One of the birds on our blog banner says “Say Something!” I love the simplicity and modern mix of the necklace.
I am sure he is thanking the dear lord that he is not in Nebraska right now! It is way too cold!
The little birdie is looking forward to 2010 and all its possibilities.
My husband owns a hotel in our teeny tiny town and he has a dove that has built a nest under the carport. I often see the dove perching on a power line when I am on my way home from work and she seems to be so satisfied in her little world. I think that the little birdies that perch on the power lines are laughing at us because we have to take cars when we travel and all they have to do is flap their wings and enjoy the view!!!
the little birdie is probably laughing at us humans because we always think that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence… but the birdie can see that it’s all the same
i shared on facebook
If I were wearing this necklace the little birdie would be thinking “why is it so darn cold today and when is this snow going to stop!”.
Shared on Facebook.
What a view!
He is patiently waiting for his lovebird to return.
He’s telling me “it won’t be long till you have your wings, elaine.”
I’ll take that.
peace~elaine

It’s going to be a “tweet” year indeed!
He’s thinking what am I going to do when those Christmas bills get here!
I think he is wishing for another bird to come alongside of her:)
Many blessings to you for doing this!
Please please please enter me!! I keep hinting to the husband for one of your creations and I now have a wishlist maybe I will have hint harder!! LOL thanks for the loveliness!
OOPs was supposed to say what little bird was thinking…think I will head home to my cozy nest and have a little rest…
That little birdie is thinking about how beautiful the world is!
It is thinking about the Beatles song Blackbirds
I think the little birdie is wondering what all the fuss is about. Why are we always rushing around…busy instead of enjoying the view like he is.
I think she must be thinking about the little babes back in the nest. Lovely necklace Lisa!
I think the birdie is thinking of new adventures for the new year. What a charming necklace!
I’m thinking that little bird is thinking how lonely she is and who will love her… Hmm…hope it’s me. Thanks for the giveaway. beautiful artwork!
how lovely! i think she must be looking forward spring and some warm weather! –it is unseasonably cold in nc! perhaps she is planning to build a nest and lovingly care for her egg babies!
Love it!! Love all of your designs!!
God and love is all I need.
I think the little bird is waiting for his next adventure!
What a beautifully designed piece - love it!! I think he’s waiting for his lady-friend to join him for a quiet dinner and a fly along the beach!
Shared it on FB!
Come what may… cheers to the new year!… pretty sure that’s what the little birdie must be thinkiing.
posted on facebook!
I think the bird is thinking about freedom. The freedom to just open your wings and take flight…leaving all cares and worries on the ground.
The little bird must be deciding what to do next. Fly around and have some fun or go in search of some food!
I think the bird on the wire is enjoying being able to get away from all the hustle and bustle of everything. He’s able to take a moment for himself but because of his high perch, he’s also able to see the bigger picture. I think this is something we should all try to do, take a moment to sit back and relax, get away from it all, and remind yourself that away from the craziness of everyday life, there is more, and it is simple and beautiful.
This is a beautiful necklace! I find your jewelry so inspiring!
That is a beautiful necklace- LOVE the turquoise! That little birdie is waiting for his friend to come back
I tweeted! http://twitter.com/thestuks
sharing this on facebook!
He’s thinking of life and all its glory!
He’s thinking of his friends…birds of a feather flock together!
Thinking of how sweet spring time will be with little chickies in the nest.
I imagine that sweet little bird is learning to fly. Maybe she just took her first flight and her heart is hammering in her chest and she is gearing up to try again.
He’s thinking I should go live in Georgia!!
he’s thinking about flying and singing and freedom and joy.
I love the color in this one!
I also love the reminder to slow down and be still. I just had a new baby and I have another at home so I’m reminding myself to slow down and just enjoy the moments instead of trying to be “supermom” and get it all done.
The birdie probably isn’t thinking about much more than the beautiful breeze through his feathers and the sun on his back.
how adorable!!!!! very simple. I love it!
The little bird is thinking: “Gosh, I’ve got a stiff neck!”
i love your stuff! and i think he is thinking how perfect the world really is…
“I love it when the breeze blows and the wire bounces a little bit. That sun feels good.” (And what wonderful thoughts everyone has shared - silly, inspirational, reflective, hopeful, wistful… a lovely read, thank you!)
I imagine that the bird is an observer of the human race. He checks in on us now and again to make sure we continue to be positive and picks us up with his beautiful songs when we get down. Just a thought. I hope I win the necklace so I can wear that positive reminder.
He’s thinking about the great view he has….love this
He’s thinking about the most direct route to somewhere warm!!!
Lisa, just wondering if you’d share the online service you use for your postcards (if you don’t print them yourself, that is. ) thanks! stay dry!
