Bird Houses

 I decided to decorate the table mums for Carla's upcoming baby shower with some bird houses. I found these at a store in Ohio and I thought Carla and I could spend a few hours painting them.

She was excited. The first color she chose was mint. It looked really good.

I decided to start with yellow and brown. We agreed to add purple and orange and stay with 5 main colors.

Too cute!

 We really started going to town. It was so much fun.

The painting progressed, more paper plates, more paint, more napkins...

Carla's adding some orange...

We had paint on the birdhouses and everywhere else. Soon my desk ran out of room. We were serious about the painting.

As you can see, our little birdhouse village is growing.

 How cute is this!

What do you think, Renee?

Now we will mount each one on a stick and add it to the pot of mums. I think these table decorations are going to be gorgeous.
