This and That – Chicken Talk

Lucas says “what, we still have chickens?”
In the extreme below zero weather we have had of late the girls have been all locked up in their coop/condo with their heat lamps, water warmer, food, chicken grit, ouster shells and oatmeal with raisins in the morning served on a silver platter, well not really the silver platter, but the rest yeah.
But today the temps have risen and the path that my wonderful husband, Russ made for me to walk out to the coop on thawed out enough for the girls to get some fresh air, and do what chickens love to do most, peck and scratch.
Lucas tends to stay on the path also.
This is on of the chicks we got last August, all grown up.  Her name is Sugar and she is as sweet as sugar for sure.  This chicken would jump right into my arms if she could every time she saw me.  Instead she pulls on my pant leg until I bend down and pick her up.  She thinks she should be carried around while I’m outside.
She is the one I have been most concerned about since she has the largest comb (red thing on her head) out of my flock.   Their combs get frost bite in extreme temps, especially if there is moister around.  But she doesn’t have a black spot on it so we fared pretty well the past couple of weeks.

Baby Carriage – Stampin’ Up! Card

Hello There,

It’s pretty easy from day to day to see what I have on my mind by what I create for the day.  Yesterday it was sunshine and flowers today it’s babies.  Let me explain. . . .

This is my Son, Mitch, Daughter-in-law, Jamie, Granddaughter, Hailie Jade and Grand dog, Slug.    We received this photo from them at a Christmas party.  At first, when I opened it I was just so excited to have a picture of all of them together and then my son says “Mom did you read it”?   Well the tears flowed after that.  We are so excited that they are expecting our second grand child!  What a way to tell us too.  I love this picture!

Also, we got the news that my lovely Niece Sarah is expecting as well.  🙂

So, that is why I have babies on my mind, lol.  What a fantastic job I have where I can wake up in the morning, head to my office on the other side of the house in my pj’s and put on paper what I have conjured up in my mind.  I want to thank all of you for being here on my journey.  I truly hope you glean something from every project you see here.

Today’s project shows you a super simple way to put together a baby carriage in your scene.  🙂

Sunshine and Flowers – Stampin’ Up! Card

Hello There,

Ahh, I need some sunshine and flowers in my life today.  It was 1 degrees outside this morning here in Ohio with lots of snow on the ground.  Here in the country we have drifts of snow that are huge!  So big I’m afraid my 100 lb dog, Lucas might get lost in one.  I have the hens locked in their coop with heat lights going 24/7 trying to keep them warm.  They seem snug but going a little stir crazy from being cooped up.  Now I know where that term “cooped up” comes from.

With all that being said, I was certainly ready to do a scene today that was nice and bright.  I took the color combo of Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party and Summer Starfruit from the beautiful Sale-a-bration DSP, Sweet Sorbet.  What a great color combo!

I also used the new Sale-a-bration embossing folder, Decorative Dots.  How fun is that texture. . . . .

Teamed those items and colors up with some great flower images and you have a card that will warm anyone.

Money Jar – Stampin’ Up! Project

Hello There,

This morning I made this jar to save my egg money in.  “Egg Money” you say, “what the heck is that?”

Well, I have sold my first carton of fresh eggs.  The girls are really laying and laying beautiful eggs.

We have 9 hens, of all different varieties, so we get quite the wonderful color assortment.

All of the hens from the chicks I got last August are laying, whoohoo.  With it being just Russ and I here we have way more eggs than we could possibly eat.  So, I am selling some of the eggs and we are going to save the money and treat ourselves to a night out with it on down the road.  Of course, I had to have a cute little jar to save the egg money in, right?

But, as I was creating this project for me, I decided to share it here because this little jar could easily be made to say “Nest Egg” to save retirement money or even “Happy Easter” with candy inside, fun huh?
