New! Sweet Little Nest Swap

Love nests as much as I do? Then, come join the fun! Create a beautiful nest decoration for a one-on-one swap! Buy or make a nest measuring about 4 – 5” and embellish it like crazy! Ribbons, flowers, beads, eggs, birdies, fairies, butterflies... Maybe a shabby & sweet nest with roses, glitter and tulle? Or a naturalistic nest with birch bark and birdseed decorations? Or a vintage inspired nest with an altered photo and antique lace? So many ideas and themes….

You will mail your nest directly to your assigned partner. Please communicate with your partner about your likes/dislikes, and your progress with the swap. Nests should be mailed by March 1st, so they can be enjoyed for Spring. Imagine your nest sitting in a beautiful glass jar, or on a pedestal, or displayed on a bookcase....

***This swap is now closed. We have over 80 players!!! Partners have been sent. ***

I discovered this one late as well. I love bird themed swaps, having hosted several in the past (and getting ready to host another very soon)!!
If you end up needing a swap fairy, please consider me your go-to gal. Or, I'd be happy to partner up with sarahkeith, since she missed out too! :-)
