Great birdhouse! I like the round ladder pieces you added & the bear on top is the perfect finish to the scene around "Bart"! Thanks for showing! Jan

Gosh!! What a great gift!! What you did with it looks perfect with the setting too. Y'all are so crafty!

Looks wonderful Kirk! Love the extra adornments too! Makes quite a nice addition to your entrance.

And, yes, Jeanne is awesome!

Nice birdhouse by Jeanne and like the added touches you did. Bart is really a bear to be proud of. It all looks sooooo good together! Let us hear more about this Secret Santa Exchange! I'm fairly new to this forum and I know there is other newbies that would be interested and ya know Santa Time is gonna be here sooner than most of us would like!

Jeanne sure has a great eye! How did she know that birdhouse would look so awesome in your garden? hehe Love the bear you added to the top. Kind of like the cherry on the top of a sundae.

oldcrafty, the forum had a Secret Santa Exchange for the past few years. Keep an eye on the message board in a few months to see if anyone conjures it up again! It was a lot of fun.

I showed DH your post here, Kirk & we both think that it is so cool that one of our barnwood birdhouses found a home in Washington state! Wow, it looks great in your Bart vignette! Love the rustic junk (art) that you've added to it! That bear is "perfect!"...& other cool rustic pcs that you put on the bdhse & post. TFS! I'm glad you enjoyed this bdhse inside your home & now the birds can enjoy it, too, outside! Hope it weathers well for you for a long, long time! TFS! Jeanne S.

Very very cool!
