I really am, but when you have temps in the 20's, it's kind of hard. Tomorrow looks like a warm up--sunny and in the mid 30's--time to break out the bermuda shorts! Well, at least I can think Spring with my she art girls--
I haven't altered a birdhouse in a long time. They're fun to do--each side is like a new canvas to work on--completely separate from the other side--
So.....what else can I do with these girls?...Hmmmmm...
I had to do it : )
You know, I wasn't even going to sign up for this class--I did it on a whim, but now I'm so glad that I did, and I've become a big Christy fan (check out the very excellent giveaway that she has going on right now with Pink Paislee papers) And guess what?? She's offering a new class in May--She Had Three Hearts--Art Journaling Workshop. I've already signed up for it. It doesn't matter what the class is, I know I'll like it, but it sounds great, and her price for the class is impossible to turn down--go check it out!

Love the bird house. :) Yeah, I'm sick of this cold, too. I like the wormth better.
These are absolutely incredible boxes. And the birdhouse is to die for. I like how you say each of the sides is a new canvas.
We may get snow this morning, and rain is already pounding down. It has been one miserable winter, and like you, I am thinking hard that it's spring.
Such a pretty bird house. Just love the colours and textures and artwork. Really lovely.
Adorable birdhouse! I agree, we are way overdue for Spring. Hopefully, not too much longer.....
i love your boxes & bird houses!
such blessed birds to have
such a home!
i know, let's bring on
the fullness of spring!!

wow these are amazing!!! Love all your details! Hugs Juls
What a happy, bright idea Diane! I was looking for an idea to make a little something for my elderly neighbor and I just happen to have a birdhouse from a garage sale that would be perfect to decorate and paint for Anita. Thanks for the inspiration!
The cold is getting me down too and I am so ready for Spring. 36 here today...sheesh.

The birdhouse is love! I almost wanted to touch my laptop's monitor and imagine to touch your beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your art from the heart. :)
Yes, it's true. Ohio takes forever to reach spring. Those birdhouses are adorable and I see you put to good use what you learned in the class. Are they waterproof? If not, I can see them hanging merrily on a covered porch or sunroom.
Uau I love it. Incredible boxes!
Gorgeous art, that bird house is so fantastic ! I love your girls, I would really want to take the She Art class too !
Hi dear,

The birdhouse is adorable! And I love the sweet girl with Be Happy and the little birds! You have so many great ideas! We are Christy fans, too! I love the movies...and the book! ♥ I lived in a remote area in NC for a few years and it reminds me of that! ♥

Your work is just divine!
You are such a talent!!! I love your birdhouse (I do want to try that - loved your description on each side being like a canvas ;) and those boxes are wonderful. Thank you for your sweet smile too, xoxo
Thank you Diane! You are such a sweet support ;) xoxo
Thank you so much for your kind words Diane, it really helped, we are so missing Jet. I hope your daughter's babe gets better soon!!! We still have pips and she is helping us to get over the loss.
On another note I would love to have one of your birdhouses do you sell and send to the UK?
I don't know if the box will stand the UK's weather but I guess I could always have it inside!
