Remember the red, white, and blue house I painted recently? I wanted to do something more with it, so I decided to add a little note inside of it. Nothing too elaborate, just a word that went along with the house. I choose the word “freedom” and printed it out on a piece of paper.
I cut it out, and jammed it in the little hole with my favorite, overused, paintbrush, and some glue.
And viola! See, when you look close, there’s the note:
I thought it was pretty fun. I asked Gen and she said, “Do another one. And give me a treat.”
For the next one, I wrote the word “love” on a piece of music paper, and again jammed it in the hole. (Which really sounds so not crafty or elegant, and it isn’t, it’s actually very messy, but crafts are that way sometimes.)
See it in there? So then I painted it, and added a few others to the mix.
Not sure what I’ll do with these right now, but they were fun to do and very relaxing.
I love these little houses, Cherie. Where do you buy the birdhouses? Did the church ones come with steeples or did you add those? Very cute, plus inspirational because of the little notes. Happy Memorial Day!

Thanks, Eileen! I buy them at the Dollar Store and also Michael’s. The ones at Michael’s are also a dollar. They do come with the steeples attached already.
Happy Memorial Day to you, too!
