Birdie.

If you’re a longtime reader, you might remember two years ago when my mother signed us all up to decorate a birdhouse for charity.  The houses are then auctioned off at the Toledo Farmer’s Market.  I ended up doing the house from Up! 

Last year, I was nine months pregnant, so I didn’t participate.  But the birdhouse?  It’s back. 

I need help.  Lots of help.  And quick.

Here she is.  My birdhouse of 2012.  And she’s naked. 

Did I mention, she needs to be dressed by Saturday?  I’ve tossed around tons of ideas and nothing fits.  {Much like half the clothes in my closet.}

So, I’m asking you.  What should I do this year?  If I chose your idea, I’m going to send you a little something as a thank you.

I will take all your crazy ideas.  Obscure concepts.  Thoughts.  Themes.  Share them in the comments.

  1. For some reason my mind immediately went Poe. Some type of take on the Raven maybe? Or is that too dark. It would be sort of ironic.

  2. Wizard of Oz? With the witch's black & white stockings & ruby red slippers, flying monkeys on the roof, munchkins, etc? Could be cute!

  3. You could do a garden shed, a greenhouse, or a little red barn! Good luck!

  6. I loved your UP birdhouse.
    What about decorating it like a Tardis from Doctor Who? Or a Haunted Birdhouse with zombie birds?

    Good luck
