Description:
Spring is almost here and what better way to celebrate than to put out a new birdhouse for all your feathered friends? For this swap we will buy a pre-made wood birdhouse (or feel free to make your own) and decorate it around one of the themes your partner picks. Be creative; use paint, mosaic, decoupage, etc. You can add all sorts of embellishments just try to make sure they are weather proof. Keep in mind that this swap will end up costing $10-$15 before shipping. Regional-US only for shipping reasons. The houses should be able to fit into a large or medium flat rate box, so shipping shouldn't be that expensive. Newbies are welcome with a full profile and at least five mailed swaps with a 5.00 rating. I'm a newbie too so I'm giving everyone the benefit of the doubt! All others, 4.9 or above and NO no-sends or flakers. This is my first swap to host so I am hoping to make it fun for everyone; that means everyone keeps their end of the bargain and sends out a thoughtful and timely swap. After you sign up please list three themes for your partner to pick from below. Have fun!

My themes: 1. retro mushrooms 2. bugs 3. polka dots and stripes

HoneyBunny 02/23/2009 #

Yay, Tigra...I like the feline theme!

It must be a store purchased bird home? I would like to make out of a cowboy boot or a noahs arc building..or something else? I like to reuse/ substitute ..I dislike purchasing a ready made Item,and embelishing it. Would what I prefer be the wrong thing to be intent.

outsideartist...I wouldn't have any objection to that at all as long as it stayed with one of the themes your partner picks!
