“New year is a day, to tune the rhythm called SOUL, with best chords called EXPERIENCES and play the guitar called LIFE.” – Vikrmn

I want to take this time to wish you the very best New Year ever!

Now about today’s project, I cannot believe it is the last one for this year.  I hope you have enjoyed all of my projects in 2016 and you have been inspired to get inky often.

I used the beautiful image from the Stampin’ Up! Wilderness Awaits stamp set.  Very hard to go wrong when making scenes with it.

You Amaze Me Paper Plane – Stampin’ UP! Card

DSC_0025 2

Hello there,

Remember paper airplanes?  I remember folding up notes to my friends in school and sailing them over to them in class.  I’m sure that was not allowed but they had important stuff in them, like “do you like me, check yes or no”, lol.  Now that question couldn’t possibly wait until after school, right?

My card today with the paper airplane was made very girlie with by using white and Tempting Turquoise colors and the Rhinestones in the corners.  You can certainly man this card up by changing the colors.  🙂

Hello there,

Seriously, I had a blast today putting together this kid card.  Most times when I come up with something in my mind, what turns out on paper is quite a bit different than my original idea.  Today, it came out just how I imagined, miracle!

I hope it inspires you to get a little stamping in today.

Bird With Hearts – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0022

Hello there,

The Stampin’ Up! First Sight stamp set images are so very lovely.  The vines are very easy to use in the foreground of your scenes and that little black bird is super cute to either tuck into the vines or have it hang out elsewhere in the scene.  I put the blackbird on a wire and added a little string of hearts for it to hold, awe right?

Chicken Chilly! :)

13 Comments

IMG_1263

Nope, this isn’t a Chicken Chili recipe post, lol.  It is a chicken chilly post because it is a chilly 12 degrees this morning in the chicken yard and I just gave the girls and boy some hot oatmeal to eat to warm their bellies.  Yes, I spoil our flock with warm oatmeal on cold mornings.

I have received many requests for an update on my girls (hens).  I haven’t done one for a really long long time, I’ll explain why.

IMG_1268

I couldn’t do a chicken post without talking about how our flock has changed considerably over the past 4 months.  My old hens are no longer, it was sad but once a chicken stops laying it is time for them to be processed.  After all, fresh eggs are why we raise chickens.  This was a very hard lesson for Russ and I to learn, being from the city and all, we did not grow up around live stock.  But to continue raising chickens we had to learn that lesson and we did all the processing ourselves.  School of hard knocks!

IMG_1264

We replaced the old girls with new chicks that have grown almost to full size now.  They will be laying in February.  I will be so happy to have fresh eggs again. We have had to buy eggs at the store for the past month and a half.  Doesn’t seem right but, we waited to long to process the old flock to make room for the new, another lesson learned.  After all of the hard lessons we learned this year I certainly appreciate every single bite of chicken and every single egg, whether it is from our own flock or from the store.  Society is so very far removed from where our food comes from, Russ and I now have it in perspective.

IMG_1270

I haven’t shown you this guy for a long time, he was a fluffy little chick just a few short months ago.  With the 14 hens we have just this one very large rooster, he is a busy guy and a bit camera shy so I had to click this picture of him on the run, lol.

Now that I have this post out of the way, my future chicken posts will be much more lighter in content.  Time for some stamping. .. . . . .

************************************************** 

I will be back in a bit with a new project for you so, stay tuned!
