My good friend and internet mentor just emailed me this morning and politely insisted I try out a blog giveway carnival. I was a little overwhelmed and I am not sure what I am getting myself into. Here I go.
1. I need a “catch” phrases to draw people in. Okay, how about “Wanted…beautiful yard for one unique birdhouse”. I think that could work.
2. Something to give away.
Well….I think #1 pretty much answers question #2.
3. Fortunately I happen to make unique birdhouses. I am in luck.
4.Now, how to win the birdhouse. Why not leave a comment? That sounds fair… But not just any ordinary comment…something to make you think or stir up your creative juices. Hmmmmmmm. Oh, I got it…read #5
5.“Outhouse, birdhouse or doghouse…tell me why?”
6. Oh, yes I need a way to get in touch with the winner. Please leave email address with your creative comment. Drawing will take place on August the 4th. Sorry U.S. residents only.
Best of Luck and remember…”Outhouse, birdhouse or doghouse…tell me why”

Birdhoude! Why? Because I have seven feeders up in our yard and I love birds. I hope I win! Thanx for hosting this giveaway. cdziuba@aol.com
birdhouse for sure.....and outhouse too...birds poop in their houses! hahaha!
BTW, your etsy store ROCKS. Love the tissue boxes.
thanks for hosting
The fun has begun!
Birdhouse--because we are loving our birdhouses this year! (don't pick me--you know I already have one of these cool birdhouses....I just wanted to leave a comment.)
Birdhouse! Because I have a dog house and would NEVER send my hubby there and my dog won't sleep in it! It's useless! So... Bridhouse it is!!!
Birdhouse! It's my new passion. I have a bunch scattered around the yard as a means to feed my addiction to photographing...well I'll take a picture of anything.
Although, I have to say, in the Lancaster PA there's this little oddity shop that makes great use of an old Outhouse. It amuses me to no end and it *almost* bested the 'big ole birdhouse' I purchased that strip to Amish country. Almost. Not quite.
The dog house? Well I don't have a dog -- but I'm sure at some point I can find a person I'd like to stick out in such a contraption for a night or two. ;)
I love your work, by the way. LOVE it. You are now officially on my "Hey guys, buy Mom this!" wish list. :)
Doghouse because I miss having a dog to play with. I haven't had one since mine died when I was in 8th grade :(
Thanks for the fun contest!

Outhouse! I live in the country and have always wanted an outhouse (just for conversation) in my yard with flowers around it. Take a look at my blog http://thyme-for-herbs.blogspot.com to see where I might put it. I have 1 acre of gardens. This birdhouse would fit right in with my many others and the theme for my yard! Thanks for the chance to win. Fun!!!
Dog house! We rescue pekingese doggies, and I can always use another house for them. I love your birdhouse, too. Please add me!

Birdhouse - because I don't have any and the cats need to look at something to keep them entertained while I am at work. thanks for the giveaway!
We have a big old yard and a bird feeder, but no where for the birds to make their nest... not yet anyways. These birdhouse are creative and fun. Any bird would be honored to have this as its home.
Birdhouse. I love them.
Birdhouse. 'cause yours has a New Mexico license plate on it.
its realy nice
Outhouse - you never know when your going to need one with 3 kids! Thanks for the giveaway!

Birdhouse because dog houses are big and bulky (and because our home came with a particularly ugly one that we tried for 5 years to get rid off) and because birdhouse has better connotations than outhouse. :-)
Outhouse....because I grew up in South America and have some funny memories of ourhouses there! LOL

birdhouse right? 'cuz they're so cute.
What a cute birdhouse. Please consider me in on your giveaway.
Thanks!
Nancy
Birdhouse! Because it smells better than the other two!
Birdhouse Birdhouse Birdhouse!
Why? It's fun to peek inside and see if there is a nest in there yet.
Thanks for the creative contest, that birdhouse is so cute :)
Birdhouse...because we don't have any and my 2 & 4 yr old like to use their binoculars to look at the birds. Thanks!
Birdhouse! WHAT FUN! Though I'd love to see my Great Dane/Shep try to fit in there!
birdhouse! because they're so cute and attract lovely birds :)
Great giveaway! I hope i'm the lucky winner :)
I'm not sure I understand the question, but I want a birdhouse, and I think this looks like a good birdhouse! We need to get a bird feeder too. And a squirrel feeder, because I hate to leave those little guys out.
Birdhouse. The frogs need a place to live.
Seriously. Check the "frog house" photos on my blog. They're in the second post under the "laugh" category!
LOVE your birdhouse! Do you offer to make one using someone's "keepsake" plate?
Thanks for the great giveaway!!! Please include me!

birdhouse...cause I love it
Doghouse and birdhouse.I have 2 dogs but they are too spoiled for doghouses,wish they would use doghouses and give me some room.Birdhouse for all the birdies my mom feeds. She is snow white to birds.
This would be perfect for my Mother's yard!

Birdhouse! But at the new (old log cabin) house that I'm moving into the birds poop from their nests in the rafters of the carport. Perhaps you could attach a tiny outhouse to the birdhouse?
I'm going to go look at your etsy store now!
I love that birdhouse! It's beautiful!
lynnodum@aol.com
Bird house. I dont have a dog. And I am thankful that I have no need for an outhouse!
Very cool in a "redneck" kinda way LOL!
I'd hang it!
Great giveaway!
http://pshelovesyou.blogspot.com/2008/07/just-for-you-from-my-grandma.html
come see mine!
You are very creative, I would say Doghouse, dogs dont poo where they sleep LOL.
Stormy5475@aol.com
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'd love this for my parents' back yard. My mom is a bird watcher, and they just bought a new place with absolutely nothing in the back yard. Plus we're in NM sos that would be perfect! :P
Birdhouse, definitely. but also bird feeders and birdbaths--whatever I can do to attract the birds to my yard.
Dog house...maybe if I had a doghouse, my husband would agree to get a dog! Probably not, though. I'd better just go with the birdhouse--it is super cool!
Thanks for the chance!

Outhouse! Why? Because a need is a need and when you gotta go....well, you know.
Now, once that is covered, birdhouses are just doggone beautiful and are an especially nice addition to our homeschool distractions, er..I mean, lessons.
Doghouse, because when it rains people have houses, and birds have nests, and dogs have nothing.
urchiken at gmail dot com
Outhouse!! Cause it could be both useful and decorative :)
bird house. Why? Because my grandpa loved to sit out under the trees and watch the birds. And silly as it seems I have always thought it would be neat to be a bird and to soar over head and play in the wind.
b.werts@sbcglobal.net
Birdhouse! We are in the process of moving into our first home and I can't wait to get started on the backyard plants and garden! Hope to attract lots of butterflies & birds. Thanks for the chance to win!

Birdhouse. I just love birdhouses.
Birdhouse...because my father-in-law has quite a collection and this would make a GREAT Christmas present for him!
Birdhouse! I have two doves who would LOVE it when I let them fly around the house!!
I have been wanting a bird house for a spot we cut a lot of branches on a pine.
Birdhouse. A little "welcome" gift for the pair of goldfinches that decided to make my yard home this year.
Your Etsy stuff is fabulous. Lots of fun stuff there.
Birdhouse. I already have the feeder and the birdbath. I just need the house and they will never have to leave my yard. I also feed the chipmunks and unfortunately the squirrels get in on the act, too.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
Birdhouse! My yard isn't big enough for a dog house, and outhouses have absolutely no appeal to me. I could hang up the birdhouse and watch all the pretty birds outside the window. Thanks for the giveaway.
charlotte(dot)evard(at)comcast(dot)net
outhouse... the birds could roost in it and the dog could lay on the floor in it but it could be useful to me, too!
Birdhouse. I love their songs in the morning, it brightens my day. Thank you so much for the unique giveaway.
Outhouse! I was just telling my dad that when the kids play outside and are wet and muddy, I don't want them going inside to use the potty. I was thinking about putting a potty chair behind a screen but an outhouse would be more fun!
birdhouse, I collect them and have a lot around my yard. I love to watch the birds and have made a bird friendly yard. My dog likes to lay and watch them too.

Gotta go with birdhouses. We bought our house a little over three years ago and I've been having a blast working on our front yard. Every yard needs at least one birdhouse!
Bird houses for sure! Because we are avid bird watchers (and bird feeders...I think we have 9? not including the humming bird feeders!)

Birdhouse! We have a LOT of birds in the woods around our house, I'd love to attract even more :)
WE actually have a dog house in our year that my son's Godfather built for our dog. Unfortunatly the dog doesn't use it, but the kids love it lol

From one Clem Cadiddlehopper to another, admire your creativity. And the recycle cycle of use. My beautiful orchids in bloom in my backyard would look great next to this birdhouse. Thanks for the giveaway.

birdhouse - I love to see all the birds in the yard. tinawittmer(at)yahoo(dot)com
Birdhouse because my mom collects them!
Doghouse because my dog just needs a place in the shade when it's hot.I'd love to win the birdhouse.

Outhouse, with kids I need to be practical. Last time my daughter peed outside she got her shoes too!

THis is a birdhouse for bby birdies the ones in my yard would love this!
cmartin0055(at)aol(dot)com
Birdhouse! Why? I prefer indoor plumbing;) and the dog doesn't use his doghouse so what is the point? Birds on the other hand are fascinating and I would love to provide for them.
Definitely NOT doghouse. I have enough little, messy, hungry creatures around without a dog too. And not an outhouse. That's no fun. So I guess that leaves a birdhouse. Actually, I've been meaning to get a birdhouse. We have a big tree right outside out back door and I know the kids (the beforementioned messy, hungry creatures) would love to become bird watchers.

I am kind of a birdhouse nut. I have birdhouses around the yard and would LOVE yours! As far as your question--absolutely birdhouses!
Bird houses because their population is diminishing and would like to help their numbers go up! Thanks!
Birdhouse. Because the squirrels in my yard need some competition.
I love this birdhouses (and other things) made with license plates.
Outhouse - no thank you, way to stinky, fear of falling in, splinters, I could go on and on as to why no outhouses!
Doghouse - nope, we are cat people (don't worry they are inside cats and don't eat birds)
Birdhouse - Yes! We need a new place for the birds that come to our yard for the yummy bird seed we put out and those that stop by to rinse off in our birdbath
Thanks!
Outhouse... because you don't see the real ones anymore - only the johnny-on-the-spots which are gross!! but when you gotta go... I would rather pick a tree!
Thank you!
THE BIRDHOUSE
I really , really love it!
That is just so cool! I just saw a similar one in Crafts & Things mag.
Birdhouse, why I love birds, besides out house really stink P U andwho wants to be in the dog house?
You do beautiful work
Birdhouse..........why you ask? Because i want to look out from my kitchen window at my newly landscaped backyard and see beautiful birds going in and out!
THOUGH..i think outhouses are pretty cool...and would go wonderfully in the country where i am...not too much pretty comes and goes from there!
ANd..well..i have a doghouse!
I LOVE your birdhouses..they are soo cute! i would LOVE LOVE LOVE one!!
tweety0166 (at) aol (dot) com
birdhouse of course because we are on a preserve with the most beautiful wildlife
3beez at bellsouth dot net
I love the roof! So clever!
I'd have to say birdhouse, too. But, is it an out of state plate? Would that be confusing to the birds?
Thanks for your generosity!
KJ - California
Birdhouse, becasue they are so much prettier than the other two options.
Birdhouse! We have so many birds in our yard but have never put anything up for them to play in!
Thanks!

Outhouse, cause the birds are using my patio furniture as one.
luckydolls123[at]verizon[dot]net
Birdhouse! Although, with 5 people and only 1 bathroom, outhouse was a close second!
Birdhouse! We used to have a doghouse but the dogs never used it....and outhouses are somewhat stinky, yeah?
ignoramoose (at) gmail (dot) com
What a hoot to have an outhouse in your yard! That's my pick. :-) Your birdhouses are just the cutest things. You're very creative. Thanks so much.
Outhouse - 'cuz when ya gotta go, ya gotta go! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love birdhouses and that is CUTE. I've been collecting them for a while.
But I gotta outhouse, I love driving and seeing an old outhouse on an old farm! Plus growing up, we had one on our acerage. It brings back some memories :)
Look at you! Woo hoo! Lots of comments. Yay! :)
