As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. -- Isaiah 55:10-11

For the Birds


Today I took a huge leap. I sent out an email with hopes of selling some of the birdhouses I paint. I started this hobby a little over a year ago because the children liked to paint, and I ran out of things to paint on paper, so I picked up some birdhouses. Because I'm not good at detail painting, I started adding other small things, like the clay daffodils you see at right. As the year has gone on, my collection of painted birdhouses has grown, and I need space. Plus, it would be nice to recupe the cost of my habit. However, I don't paint enough to have a booth at a craft mall or a booth at a craft fair, so maybe word of mouth will get around and the B Unique Creations in my garage will find new homes.


Some other birdhouses include...

These are great. I love the daffodills. Have you tried Craig's List? www.craigslist.com they have one in all the states and regions. I need to list some of the *stuff* in my basement.

Jan,
I actually considered that. My husband and our neighbor both suggested eBay, but for whatever reason, that doesn't settle with me. Craig's List was my first thought for all still in need of a home in a week or two.
