Wow- your birdhouses make an impressive display when you group them all together. I think my favorite is the fairy birdhouse with the black & white drawings along the bottom- very clever-like a house that tells a story.

Karen Young

Karla, I really appreciate having these fun challenges and swaps.

Hugs Karen

Valerie

This is so much fun! I love the birdhouses, the little fairy birdhouse village is enchanting.
I have worked all morning getting my birdhouse painted (eek paint takes forever to dry). Then I took and loaded the picture leaving weary Hubby an evening off tonight. I am painting and (com)putering.

Karla, you are so inspiring. Now I get to relax and view the other entries.

Valerie

Inspiring birdhomes! I can't join in the swapping fun right now, but I could enter in the giveaway and consider (if I win) the birdhouse to be a wonderful housewarming gift when we move. (wink, wink)

Connie

Oh my goodness, I almost forgot what today was!!! Birdhouse Bling Day! Here is the link to my birdhouses: http://connie-livingbeautifully.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-shabby-birdhouses-revisited.html

I love making them! They are absolutely my most favorite thing to make. Unfortunately, I don't sell many of them but they make wonderful "eye candy" sitting around my home. I love them for all the beautiful fabrics I can put on them. I almost always use a rose fabric with stripes or polka dots or maybe tiny remnants of chenille or something soft. I also like the "icing" I put on them to make them look like a cake. Just come on over and visit. You might find something you like. Plus if anyone is interested in buying one some are for sale.

Gail

You have out done yourself Karla! They are beautiful!! You inspired me to make one and it was fun!..thank you

beachy

So stunning, Karla! I am totally kicking myself for not having joined this swap! But I am having TONS OF FUN browsing around everyone's blogs looking at all the loveliness!!!

beachy

OK Karla... I've GOT to buy a birdhouse! Are there any left? I like the first two on your post, and the fairy one (in that order, if one of those are still available). =)

robin

ALL of the little houses are just so beautiful!!

Jeanie

Karla,

Thanks so much for hosting this fun event; a great start to welcome spring!
I intended to make a blue and brown church birdhouse for a swap but got carried away learning some computer programs. So it never got completed; maybe next time. I submitted the birdhouse I made for my Etsy shop instead.You can see it here or on Flickr.In the meantime I am going to have a cup of tea and check out the realestate.
