My Birdsong 5 Swap Creations

Birdsong 5 was amazing!
  A weekend retreat filled with love, laughter, friendship & Art - 
 presented by the fabulous Karla Nathan
 
I so enjoy participating in the Birdsong swap exchanges.
This year there were four swaps: 
Decorated chipboard house,
Fabric Nature book,
Nature Snippet,
Nature mini-canvas & mini matchbox set. 

Here are my creations for the swaps
I placed a battery-operated tea light in my house to serve as a nightlight.  
 
My style often leans towards whimsy or shabby, but this house spoke French cottage to me.  Although I did tuck a sweet pewter fairy on the stone archway of the door.
 
 
 


My fabric Nature book









My Nature Snippet Roll... instead of a thread spool to wrap my snippet around, I chose a branch to reflect nature.

My mini canvas & mounted mini matchbox set
The mini matchbox was filled with little treasures.
 
I had taken the above photos of my creations prior to Birdsong 5.  Sadly all the photos I took at Birdsong 5 I mistakenly deleted.  I was downloading them when I was really too tired to be messing with them.  Unfortunately I paid the consequences of pushing my limits...breaks my heart I lost so many photo memories.
 
Coming soon...photos of the INCREDIBLE swaps I received.  
 
See you soon!
