I found this birdhouse on Daily Danny - an eco-friendly blog by green living expert Danny Seo - and it reminded me of a funny story. You see, I LOVED The Fox & Hound when I was little. So much so, that my mom ordered me a personalized Fox & Hound story where the printer puts the child's (my) name in the text (see an example of what I'm talking about here). The problem is that I thought the book was really about me - that someone had written it specially about yours truly. My best friend Stephani's name was even in there, so I was sure! I guess I was a very literal child. Anyhoo, seeing this Fox & Hound book birdhouse brings it all back. And makes me smile.
Visit here to see how Danny puts together his book birdhouse - there's even a video from the Today show. It would be very fun to do a winter-hemed board book birdhouse for this time of year, or even for any holiday. Danny's got a lot of great eco-friendly ideas, so pay him a visit and tell him I sent you.

This is one creative and inspiring birdhouse. Love the idea of using books.

Birds must love this house... :-)
Amazing craft. I think "I Help Mommy" would be a good one. I'm going to come back after Christmas and make all your ideas. I have a bunch of them marked.
OMG! This is amazing... I could imagine these little birdhouses hanging in a nursery! Super cool!
