Having a really busy week this week so haven't got that much time for crafting, but just look what I picked up at Pound World on the way to work yesterday. A card board weather resistant bird house! How cute would this be with added digi characters and flowers maybe?
It's on my list of things to do, but I wanted to put a post on here just in case anyone wanted to buy one themselves. By the time I finish mine (if I ever do) they may not still be on sale.
This is the bag they are sold in and they are really easy (speaking as someone who didn't get round to reading the instructions) to put together. There were two versions in the shop I went to. One was a tudor house (as in the photo) and I can't remember the name of the other, but it's kinda barn looking. I must admit I was disappointed because neither are the lovely bright colours of the example on the packet and I'm not sure whether painting them would work or not. Will have a think about that.
At Poundland I found a gorgeous card of ribbons just right for all the Spring theme challenges in blog land at the moment. Well at least they would be if I had time to play.
As both Pound Shops are very near to where I wait for the bus to work I seem to pop in them more and more just lately so maybe there will be regular updates on things to watch out for. Just waiting for a bus seems to be costing me a fortune! I might as well tempt everyone else to spend too.

Aww these are lovely Ann. I've been in Poundworld today but didn't see the bird house. All I bought was some milk and a peg bag. I'll pop in the Poundland near work tomorrow and see if they have any ribbon. Debs xx
Thanks for the tip-off. I feel a Poundland visit coming on!

Excellent find, I practically live in these shops now, so many great bargains. You should make a template of the bird house before you use it:)
Ooh! Ann, these lil' bird houses are so cute, looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Just checked out your daughters birthday card, it is just so gorgeous, Love the fab image and gorgeous colours.

Bargains Ann. Would love some of the birdhouses for the garden - let alone for cafty use. Wish we had poundland round here. We haven't got any type of "£1" shop round here now.
Thanks for the info, I have to go into 'town' tomorrow so will check out our Poundland, especially for the ribbons.
Hugs xx
So looking forward to seeing the finished results Ann. Sadly don't have a poundworld - only a poundland - have been told there stock can differ greatly, but will take a look at local pundland just in case they have it on the shelves.

Those are lovely Ann. I must try and go there to-morrow, its wee bitty out of the way ,but I'm sure I'll coax hubby into going there as sometimes he likes a mooch around too. TFS. Hugs Rita xxx
