Simply green board book birdhouse.

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.
