I would like to host an Altered Birdhouse Swap.The wooden birdhouses can be purchased at JoAnn's, Michael's, etc. If you google altered birdhouses, you will find some great ideas. Sign-up would be by March 30th with the mail-out no later than April 30th. A month should give everyone plenty of time to decorate to their heart's content! You can decorate it for use inside or out---just be sure to let your swap partner know if yours is intended for indoor or outdoor use. Sign up here. On March 30th, I will list the partners, and then everyone will be responsible for contacting their individual partner.
Thank you,
Portia
P.S. This will be my first as a swap hostess, so please bear with me!!
Wishing for the country life! |

Yes, Margo. I should have put that. I think the tiny ones would be exactly that--too tiny. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Hi Portia!
It was great meeting you yesterday So, go ahead and sign me up for this one! I need to get back into doing something different.
Also, went to AC Moore this morning and picked up the Martha Stewart Knitting and Loom set and used a %55 off coupon...WHAT A DEAL

Okay, ladies. I see we are getting more people; that's great!!! Welcome again, Roe, and our new people: Bertha, Jessie Lynn, Kris, Deanna, and Cynthia.
It was great to meet you yesterday, too, Cynthia. For those of you who are wondering how we met yesterday, here's the answer: we are in the same Sisterhood chapter, the Bing-HEN-ton Chicks (Binghamton, NY). We have a ball!!!
The small birdhouses are more like tree ornament size. Those are NOT the ones. The ones we are altering are much bigger---regular birdhouse size--from Michael's, Joann's, A.C. Moore Craft stores, etc.

How about pictures from those of you who have received your birdhouses?
Jessie,
I'm putting the finishing touches on yours today and should have it in the mail tomorrow. Just need to find a box I can fit it into without things falling off.
