Spring Birdies Part 3

If you missed Part 1 and Part 2 of my birdie series, please *fly* over and check them out. The last birdie that I found at the Dollar Store was this little guy.

I started out by spray painting him Heirloom White. And then dry-brushing him with a fun blue color.

I also bought this cute candle holder at the Dollar Store too and painted it Heirloom White as well.

I flipped the Dollar Store candle holder upside down and I hot glued a small, round piece of wood that was also painted Heirloom White to the bottom.

I forgot to mention above, but I also Ralphied the bird because I did not like how the blue dry-brushed onto the bird.

I placed him on the candle holder and was going to glue him down, but decided I might want to use it for other things in the future, so for now, he just perches on it with his little friend.

Join the fun at these lovely parties I will be linking up to!

The Crappy Crafter

Last week I got home from work and the FUNNIEST thing was in my mailbox! Imagine my surprise when I got actual snail mail from "Red Heads Craft More Fun Fan Club." WHAT?!?? I have a fan club????

Here is the back of the envelope. "Sealed with Craft Glue" - how hilarious!

And inside... a belated birthday card! "A clever idea from the Crappy Crafter- Recycle your birthday gift bows to make a cute top! Or use double-stick tape for an evening strapless look!"

Are you laughing yet? And the inside said, "1. Apply bows 2. Go out 3. Watch the well-wishers appear. Get lots of attention on your birthday!"

I LOVED it! I'm laughing all over again! It's from my Mom, Aunt Sue and cousin/best friend Andi, who all are incredible and ROCK!! Thanks ladies!
