The dates are set for our upcoming party! It will be self-linking and self swapping.
Beth and I will co-hostess the day and hope you can all join us. If you aren’t a crafter and don’t have a hand decorated birdhouse to share, feel free to show pictures of a favorite birdhouse in your home or gardens.
The mini birdhouses I have used are 99 cents at Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Wooden, or paper, or chipboard, they have a lot to chose from for under $3.
I’ve enjoyed hosting "What do you LOVE about your home?" and "What do you love about your Holiday Home?". Now for spring, I thought that "What do you love about your Birdie’s Home?" would be a welcome party.
Beth will makde up this button, feel free to post it on your site if you want to participate.
And, as promised, here are the dates and the information about the events. Hope to see you and all your feathered friends there!
Celebrate Spring with Beth and Karla for their
“Bling your Birdhouse” Challenge!
(Other wise known as “What do you LOVE about your birdie’s home?”)
This is a SELF-linking and SELF-swapping challenge.
Show photos on your blog of a birdhouse you have embellished, in any way your artistic heart desires. If you aren’t an artist, you can share pictures of your favorite bird’s happy home.
Leave a comment with Beth or Karla (or both) on THURSDAY MARCH 27TH. Both artists will be showing their own blingy birdhouses that day. This is where the “self linking” comes in. Make sure that your URL is in the comment so everyone can come to visit and admire your birdie’s home after reading your comment.
If you want to buy/sell/or trade your creation with another artist, make sure you include that info in your post. This is where the “self swapping” comes in. If you are up for a swap, want to sell the house, or simply want to keep and enjoy it yourself, let everyone know.
Want some help with ideas for birdhouse décor? Bling kits will be for sale at Karla’s Etsy Shop and at Beth’s too. They will be filled with fun vintage touches to make your bird’s abode something really special.
And for a tutorial before the big day, join Karla on her blog Monday February 25TH. She’ll take you through the steps on a couple of different birdhouse styles. Also check out Beth’s blog posting HERE for photos of a Shabby Chic neighborhood she has designed for her feathered friends.
these houses are all so cute…now the pressure is on to make something fabulous! LOL! this is going to be lots of fun:)
I can’t wait! The wheels are turning!
I’m looking forward to your tutorial.

I was lead to your blog by ivory blush rose’s blog. I was a swap buddy and saw your blog. I’m so glad I found your site and will make it a regular! Your birdie houses are beautiful! Thanks for the visual candy. M 🙂
Sounds like fun! Decorating a birdhouse is on my list of things to try. Yours are adorable. I especially like the tall and narrow house with the pretty pink rose and manuscript roof.
So cute!!! I love the birdhouses!
The birdhouses are all so pretty. I’m not that great of a painter so I’m not sure I’d be able to pull one off. Maybe I’ll try in the future when I get more time. I’m trying to work on at least one project a day. I’ll be back later to view your latest and greatest. Take care.
Hi Karla,
I would love to join in with this challenge. Since I am only new to blogging I am unsure how I post the button on my site. If you can let me know that will be great.
Cheers Linda
