Little Birdie Beauties

I am always up for a challenge...but $5 seems like a lot of money. LOL! I am linking up with Lindsay's $5 Challenge.


I must admit this idea was totally stolen from about 7000 blogs featuring these little beauties from the Dollar Tree. But "imitation is the highest form of flattery," right?


A little white spray paint never hurt a bird right?

Remember my homemade cloche? Well one of these birdies made its way inside of it. I added a little Spanish moss from the Dollar Tree and WAHLAAAAA!


I thought the birdie needed something to do all locked up in the cloche. So I figured sitting on some eggs would keep her busy.

So I ate a handful and gave her a few. :-)

    Such a good idea! I need to go the dollar store. Now just to wait and see how long until her eggs are gone and "hatched". :)

    Wow, very cute. I wanted to tell you that I've implemented your 'nag board' in our house and it works like a dream! Hubby has actually really taken to it! I feel so calm and non-frustrated now. Are u a genius?

    I would never have thought to paint the birds white - they look much more classy and expensive than Dollar store finds.

    Super cute. What a great way to change those cheesy (sorry if anyone out there is in love with them) dollar store figures into something cute. It's amazing the stuff I would never think to do... super cute though. I agree, makes them look a lot fancier and more expensive. (Might have to do this.) : )
