“Bling your Birdhouse” Challenge!
(Otherwise 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.
***** SO LETS GET STARTED THEN SHALL WE *****
Well Girls....., I CAME, I SAW AND I BLINGED !!!!
My birdhouse was pretty gosh darn BORING when i bought it from a tatty ole shop..seriously folks my heart ached for this birdie house...i just had to buy her and BLING her up.
SOOOO..without further ado....My Bling Bling Birdie House :)
Click on any pic to enlarge them.
The roof tops are covered in pearl glitter (and so is my kitchen now...oh actually i shoud say permanantly.)
Can you see the lil' birdie inside the top nest? She's keeping watch for naughty kitty katts....she knows i have 5 of them lurking around.
Are you under the assumption that i like pink and roses??? LOL
Hmm...you think i went a tad too far???
NAH of course not. You can NEVER EVER have too much pink, mint and roses, oh and of course SPARKLE !!
Ok so then i thought maybe i'd change the pictures a bit and have some fun.
Oooh this is a bit kookie and fun! LOL
ok yes, loving the black and white.
I think this is my fave :)
Ok so now a GIVEAWAY is in order. YAY FOR GIVEAWAYS !!!
Dont you just love to win stuff?? its sooooo fun and i love having giveaways!
Im thinking i will keep the prize a SURPRISE though.....
Yep i will keep you all guessing, arent i a big meanie !
I will tell you though that it does involve birds..hmmmm.
*grin*

How pretty!! I love it!
Hey Shannon, that's a pretty scratching post...LOL
I think I've seen your blog listed over at Karla's cottage -however this is my first visit to yours. I'm thinking that first altered photo would be great printed out on cardstock and used as patterned paper for a layout if you scrapbook? Note: using hubby's account. have fun today at Beth's and Karla's birdhouse party. Joyce
Nice, very nice and a girl can never have to much bling and foof in her life:) Rachael

Oh Shann, that is the most beautiful birdhouse I have EVER seen. You create dreams my dear. Thinking of you and so glad you're spreading your friends love with smiles and beautiful creations.
Oh my goodness... I have tried to comment several times. I could not make it work last night and I finally got to you and I deleted what I said LOl Well it was worth all the trouble. I love this house and it is scrumptious. I did not get to bling my bird house but I did post and shared some birdies I have. My fake birds would peck each other over the chance to live in this house. AMAZING. Stop by and visit me if you get a chance.
Wow! It's like Cinderella's castle, only for birds! I love all the millinery flowers.
Wow! Love the birdhouse, must be some special little birdie living there.

You did an AMAZING job on that bird house. My girls would fight over it!
Funny, when you said "What do you like most about your birdhouse" I thought you meant real ones. My two doves were about to get pictures posted about them, and a bragging about the MASSIVE cage I have for them. *laughs*

Hi Shannon, your birdhouse is just stunning I've been to look at some of the other birdhouses how good are you girls so talented... WOW how many comments do you have it took me half an hour just to read them all... only joking well done.
Luv
Sharon
Very very pretty Miss Shannon! I love your different photos, they look great! Mel xxx
Hey Shann, we have the same curtains :) I just love what you did to your birdhouse, it is darling. I collect birdcages and birdhouses, will have to take a picture soon of them all in one place. I have a plain white one I could fancy up like yours :)
Hey Shannon,
That is about the prettiest birdhouse I have ever saw. I have two outside, one is a coffee shop birdhouse and the other is a garden house birdhouse. Since I have no artistic talent, I bought them but they are cute. Oh and I have to tell you, my little granddaughter loves your music on your blog. When I visit your blog, she comes running into my office and starts to dance and wants to see whats on the screen, it's too funny. Have a great week.
