Thank you for visiting. This giveaway has ended.
Because it’s spring and bluebirds are nesting all around our yard, because it would make a great Mother’s Day gift, or a gift for any special lady in your life, because my eyes may not be able to take it much longer, and just because I want to, here’s another itty bitty nest drawing giveaway.
Seriously, I’m moving up the optical range of reading glasses mighty fast now, so these nests are few and far between. They’re teeny. The actual nest size is about 3″ wide and they’re all original art, each different from the next, and original size – no reducing involved. So, while it’s not a priceless work of art, it’s real. And it’s from my heart, hands, and feeble eyes to yours (not that you have feeble eyes).
Anyway, one (1) winner will be randomly chosen to win a framed nest drawing, customized with the number of eggs desired. The eggs represent your little chicks, or your mom’s little chicks, or your grandma’s little chicks, or a teacher’s little chicks. Of course that is within reason. The largest amount of eggs I’ve ever drawn in a nest is seven. The Duggar’s would be out of luck (is it 19 now?).
All you have to do is tell me what big plans you have for the summer. It’s right around the corner you know. Are you planning a trip to the beach? The mountains? Planning a getaway to somewhere exotic? Hiding in your closet?
Just leave a comment (1 entry per person please) between today, Wednesday, April 14, 2010 and Monday, April 19, 2010 at Midnight PST. The winner will be announced sometime on Tuesday, April 20, 2010, so be sure to check back.
Happy spring y’all! Tweet! Tweet!
We are spending the summer in our backyard. We have Big Projects–building a new patio, tiling over the old, planting over 160 privet shrubs to form a living fence, building a pergola, jack-hammering up the old front porch and then rebuilding it, and reworking all the plants around the foundation, up to and including ripping out 50 year old azaleas. Pray for me.. or more to the point, for my back.
no particularly big summer plans — visiting friends in Mississippi in June and possibly a cruise in July but I think we’re gonna save up for a bigger trip this Fall (Canada maybe?)
I want to enjoy my back yard. And spend plenty of time with my family without overdoing it and not liking them…just kidding. Oh and I want a puppy.
Everyone’s plans look so interesing. We run a farm and can’t go away during the busy season. Even the not so busy season presents a problem because it’s hard to get someone who can watch the animals. Excuse me, could you watch my 500 animals so I can go lounge on the beach. Nope. Won’t work. I did those things before I fell head over heels for a farmer!I work as a private duty chef, so I need to be there for my employer as well. So, I guess you could say that I’ll be right here in my nest this summer.
We’ll be using our Carowinds season pass. The hubby and I will go somewhere in the fall. Not sure where yet. I think I’ll take suggestions from these comments!
Well, mission trip to Dominican Republic in June. Helping with a conference hosted by the Rabbit Room in Nashville sometime after that.
Exhausting my toddler twins as much as I can by exposing them to everything. Creeks, Lakes, Oceans, Mountains, Strawberries, Blueberries you name it we will be doing it. I will do anything for a nap. Theirs not mine 🙂

We are planning a trip to Myrtle Beach! I’ve never been to South Carolina and am looking forward to it. I need a beach vacation this year and Hawaii is not in the cards this year.
I will be heading to Wisconsin with my knitting buddy for Meg Swanson’s Knitting Camp I over the Fourth of July. I am incredibly excited and still find it hard to believe I got in. It is a dream come true for me.
So far no big plans, maybe just spend some time at the lake. Would love to go to the beach, but I don’t see that happening.
Our family is planning a month long trip to backpack for a week at Philmont, the Boy Scout Ranch in NM, and visit national parks along the way!
Since I teach, we plan to sleep in later thatn 5, then go on our morning walks through the woods. Weekends are spent at the lake, that is within an hour of our house. Last summer, was not restful as this will be, we built our own custom home. This summer will be spent enjoying our hard work, and awaiting the arrival of our latest bundle of joy.
AHHHHHH SUMMER. Just saying the name gives me butterflies. I will be trying to drink in each and every delicious moment of sunshine, bare-feet in the grass, longer days, swimming pool bliss, sleeping in, grilling out and catching fireflies. And In between those moments of glory, I will be working on posts for my new blog, letting the dog in and out a gazillion times and hoping that my two daughters will not whine or argue or “be bored.” I love your site and cannot believe that you’re giving away this darling nest. My blog launched recently and in tandem, unknowingly, with a wren building a nest in my garage. Serendipitous thing is, my blog had birds in the design and I ADORE birds and nests and eggs…anyway, thank you for (also unknowingly) completing the circle.
We’re staying close to home this year but we’re not complaining. For 11 months out of the past year, my husband was part of that unemployment percentage making the news. He’s working now! Thanks be to God! We are looking forward to working a full week and then grilling out on weekends, taking in a movie here and there and buying an ice-cream cone at Brusters – the simple things that we won’t likely take for granted anytime soon; nor will our kids. 🙂
Just discovered your website today and am enjoying the recipe section. I’m looking forward to checking out the rest of it soon. Great website!
I am hopefully going up to the mountains with family for a week or so. Hopefully it will be lovely weather so we can eat lots of icecream!
I plan to re-group,last summer was just aweful, my Father passed away and everything that goes with that was all consuming. Now I am prepared to get it together and have a real summer with my family. that includes lots of beach days, lots of cooking, gardening and best of all? napping.
Well, it’s funny you ask, because I was just reading your post about travel, and I was just thinking the other day how we need to plan some sort of little family getaway this summer. I don’t know where… We can’t afford much. But just something. Other than that idea, we really don’t have any plans yet.
Colorado! Flying into Denver and driving to Dillon. Going with my husb and best friends. We plan to hike, eat, enjoy the views, eat, explore, eat, kayak, eat, bike, eat. Did I mention we would eat? There is an open air market in the park every Friday during the summer. The last time I was there we bought wild salmon, fresh veggies, and fruit. Everything was delicious. I can hardly wait!
Well, we haven’t finalized our plans, but its either a few weeks visiting in-laws in Seattle or a week vacation in Cape May, NJ.
I am 55 years old and am going back to work for the first time in 20 years. No big summer vacation plans… just a new direction.
