Facebook has changed things for public pages recently, and unfortunately it seems that at best only 25% of viewers will see my posts in their news feed, unless I pay for promoted posts, which I won't do - but there is a fix for it. So, if you are a "fan" on my Facebook page, please follow these steps to be sure that you will see my updates and posts!

1) Go to the top of my Alicia's Creations Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/AliciasCreations

2) Hover your mouse over the "Liked" button (under the top picture, on the right hand side) and a drop down menu will appear. Make sure "Show in News Feed" is CHECKED. If it isn't, click it to check it!

I recently had the opportunity to finally visit the Iowa Parrot Rescue! It was a great experience, and I took some photos to share with you! This amazing rescue has placed over 600 birds, which is particularly impressive considering that most come to the rescue with behavioral issues and other problems.

Go to my Facebook Photo Album to view more photos from my visit. To read more about the rescue and learn more about how you may be able to help, please visit their website at: http://www.iowaparrotrescue.org

I've received some great comments from those of you wanting to continue to see "Work in Progress" photos, so here are a few more! Pop over to my Facebook page to see more photos of this recent custom flock necklace as I was creating it.

You can also find many more new photos in my various Facebook photo albums: https://www.facebook.com/AliciasCreations

Kilian and Kaleena (pictured) and I wish you a Valentine's Day that is absolutely overflowing with love!

To celebrate Valentine's Day, from now until the end of the month, all of the items in my eBay store are on sale! Below are some of the birds currently available - the birds shown here happened to be sold, with non-paying bidders, so are now back for sale! If you missed them earlier, here is your chance to snap them up at a discount.
