It is done! This project has ballooned into bigger and bigger projects but for now this part is complete! I have one black bird that I had previously purchased for WAY more than a dollar. I am pretty sure Dollar Tree will be serving me a restraining order for stalking their stores looking for $1 black birds. They are no where to be had in my neck of the woods. Hopefully they'll eventually get them in because I have a HUGE project in the works for outside my front door. Let's just say my index finger is numb from the amount of spray painting I have been doing! That project will be up and running the beginning of October. Wahoo! I LOVE fall...too bad it's so hot and humid! Come on Mother Nature...join in the Fall party!

Very cool! If you do locate a black bird for cheap, please pick me up two and I'll pay you back (and vice versa if I am so lucky). This project has also inspired me with an October decoration. Tune in!
It looks GREAT! Hey, I had to run into Michaels the other day and they had the black birds. Yea, a few $'s more than $1 (I think they might have been $4ish but don't quote me on that!), but if you had your 40% off coupon and you're in a bind...Just get lots of coupons and go in a few times one day!!! ;)
Hello. I would like to introduce myself if you would go to my blog we are having a Welcome to our Neighborhood and would like to add you. Your family is lovely.
Thank you for your comment today. Mike and I definitely felt the Lord's comfort and having so many people think and pray for us today meant so much.

It turned out so cute!
I've been busy spray painting too, I think I need to get one of those nifty triggers that doesn't make a mess on your finger.
Oh you finished! I love it! So your saying that will all the spray painting you have been doing you now have a black finger? :)
I have yet to go back to our Tree store for those elusive $1 birds but I may go tomorrow. If I find some I'll send you a Whole Flock! :)

Love the polka dot ribbon!
BTW, I have the "honk, honk, waddle, waddle" song in my head now thanks to your duck post. My children love that song!

Happy Friday! ~ Les
Cute, cute, cute! I sprayed some black too but used them on my mantle. I have another idea I want to try out too if I get the time. cherry
I love it, Rae!! I must say that I don't love those $ tree birds. I looked at them and the feathers are a bit sparse, as in, you can see the white body beneath. I suppose you could always touch it up with black craft paint. I guess for a dollar and if you were not really caring that they didn't look as good as your non-$ one then it would be okay. Maybe I'm just too picky. Just my 2 cents...

I know I commented here earlier. Where did it go? Your scary tree turned out so cute...I mean spooky. Great job Rae!
I love it! Glad you found your bird! I still have not cut down any branches... probably because it has been near or over 100 degrees all week :(
