Wow! I have looked and marveled at every one of the nests. You all put so much time and thought into your nests that I'm kinda not wanting to post my simplicity, but somewhere I think I said I would, so.....

Still not a dud nest in the bunch ... and what variety! Well, nap, what a difficult decision you will have. Don't envy you the task at all. But, still, so much fun! When do you announce the winner?

10 entries for our nest contest is great! There may be more still posting later.

Thank you for playing. As long as you do, we'll have contests! If anyone wants to be the giver-of-the-prize for the next contest, please let me know. Once I saw buttercup, I knew this one had to be nests.

Vic, I love the simplicity of your Extreme Makeover nest! Those stones are perfect...I love that they are all different!

Tee, using the shells and the little sign is a great do over! The little birds watching are so sweet.

Lin, I'd seen yours and I still love it with it's clever use of coco fiber. I'll bet real wrens would like that too.

Charleen, polymer magic at it's best! that is a fun, colorful little nest and your bird is wonderful too.

Doris, the spanish moss is also clever. I love that moss and forget about it. Your nest is a perfect shape.

Debbie (VA), you spent some serious time with the wire and raffia! So pretty and the QW eggs are a perfect fit.

Sharon, I am so happy you did something with that old cardboard! What a great house...love the bark and additions!

Debbie (LA), Your fruit hanging over the raffia nest is so artsy...very Martha Stewart! Sweet birds too!

Dahtzu, your hair piece cracks me up...what a great use of stuff around the house. I wonder if birds will use it?

AGAIN, thanks to all of you Group hug for playing!

Great job on the hair nest. Reminds me of Bette Middler when someone asked her in a movie referencing her beehive hairdo..."get many spiders in there?" Rolling on the floor laughing
