Hope Springs Eternal

I wish I had taken a Before picture! I found this little wood banner for a dime at a local store. It was a 70s era looking I Love My Teacher thing. Hideous, but for a dime...??? I figured it was a cheaper blank than I could buy at Michael's. I was in the mood to do something with birds. And that led to a Spring theme and the addition of some Beatrix Potter clippings from a vintage children's book.
