    Welcome Glendagardens!! Jeanne makes a lot of birdhouses & some of others but I don't know if they keep too many!! Did you go to Inspiration Album & check for birdhouses? I'm sure someone will put the link on here for you. I don't know how. I have pics but I can't get DD over here to teach me how to move them out of where she put them. I just got the pieces for the tablespoon dragonfly ready, it was posted this week I think,it is so cute & I have the stained glass & a cheap spoon so should be all set may have to get the turquiose wire tho cause that was sure pretty!!

    Welcome out of lurkdom, glendasgardens! I think you are in for some awesome inspiration from this talented group. (Unfortunately, I'm not one of them! lol)

    I am happy that you joined us!
    The more, the merrier.
    The only birdhouse I have is a wooden Icecream
    maker bucket 'house' with a tin 1950's light-fixture top.
    However, I don't think any birds have ever lived in
    it. I like the look tho'.

    Yes, hot glue from a glue gun melts in the sun!! A lot of us learned the hard way. So thought I would mention it again. I remember when glue guns were the rage they did have different glues for different uses but now I think it is pretty much all the same, Only for inside or shaded patio for a wreath would be OK. I'm thinking a pretty fall wreath since it is that time of year. JAN

    Well, Miss Glenda, soooo glad you came out to play with us!! What took ya so long!!?? LOL!! YEARS, you say, now if you have been lurking that long you had to know we would have welcomed you with big ole open arms a looooooong time ago!!LOL!! Cant wait for ya to join in the fun with everyone here. Without a doubt, its the sweetest, most caring group of friends I have ever had the pleasure to meet! (cyber-ly speaking!) I copied a link to the inspiration album so you can look through and maybe find some ideas for your displays. One of the cutest ones I have ever seen here was a row of birdhouses on posts at different heights, but its been awhile so my brain cannot remember who it was. Believe me, there are tons of them to drool over here!
    And Miss Luna Luna, dont ever underestimate your talent!! I for one, think YOU are an awesome inspiration, just by being your beautiful, wonderful self and giving us the pleasure of knowing you. Your talent of being a wonderful person surpasses anything that I could create with my hands!
    blessings and welcome Miss Glenda

    I hope this works, I'm not too good at this stuff, you might have to copy and paste! Good Luck!

    Welcome Glenda, glad you've come out of lurkdom! :-)

    I love birdhouses but only have one large one outdoors that my DH made for me. I have a few inside. I want to make lots more for outside (and maybe to sell) as one of my winter projects.

    Here's a not very good pic of my big birdhouse...

    There's another pic in my album here: http://luckysgarden.shutterfly.com/47

    Did I say I love birdhouses! I've saved a bunch of links for inspiration that I'll share.

    I know that Lindasewandsew has some very neat ones, hope she sees this. Otherwise I could post a link to her albums but I'll wait a bit and maybe she'll post some pics.

    Dottie also makes them - this is her website: http://www.gardensandcrafts.com/ I hope she doesn't mind me posting it.

    There is an interesting one here, a bottle tree with a birdhouse on top (scroll about 1/2 way down the page: http://web.mac.com/lindasbluegate/iWeb/LInda%27s%20Blue%20Gate/Whimsy%20in%20the%20Garden.html

    This site has very detailed and unique birdhouses:
