Holiday Folk Art Birdhouse

Kriste Hennick of Orcutt, Calif., never intended to make birdhouses for a living, but she did intend to find a way to stay at home with her kids. When she had some spare time, she built her first birdhouse just for fun, and then hung it on the front porch. To her amazement, just a few days later, a man knocked on her door asking to buy it. Today, she sells her birdhouses in local shops, and transforms them into festive versions for holidays.
