Party Puffin Post it Note Holder

Here's a darling little Party Puffin Post-It Note Holder

I have a real affinity with Puffins

When we visited Iceland in August, we saw the Puffins up close and personal!

We were able to see their breeding grounds and even released a "lost" Puffling (baby Puffin)

Did you know that Puffins are mated for life?  Above you can see their breeding grounds.  They spend six months at sea – never even returning to land.  Then when it's time to breed they head to their breeding grounds.  They find their mate and burrow into the hillside.  

They lay one egg per year and when the baby Puffin (Puffling), is ready to fledge, they fly out to the sea.  But…..on the Island of Heimaey, when the babies fly at night, they think the street lights are the sea, so they fly to the street lights.  And they are lost.  So the children on the island catch and release them the next day.  This is about two weeks in August.

We were staying at an AirBnB and the host and his family found two and let us release one of them!

Here's Dan releasing the baby Puffling

Such a fun experience!

So when I saw this little note pad holder, you can imagine my excitement – I received it in a swap and just had to make some
