Greetings Fellow Creekers:

A couple of months ago I asked in this thread http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=23378 for some ideas on helping my nine year old granddaughter build a couple of birdhouses for her younger sister's Christmas presents.

We had a wonderful time in the shop on several occasions,28110 and today wrapped the birdhouses for Santa to bring tomorrow night.

But a funny thing happened along the way: 28111

So, not sure we will receive the Audubon Seal of Approval, but we are submitting them in the Yard Art category in the 06 county fair! :D

It was great fun if you need a project with a young person.

Merry Christmas, Tom

Tom,
How wonderful that your granddaughter has the opportunity to bring her creative thoughts into the realm of the tangible.

This is so valuable for children.

Tom, the look on your granddaughter's face says it all. She'll be remembering making these bird houses with you for the rest of her life. Very well done, and I wish her luck at next year's fair.
