Back to talking chickens! Even though we live out in the country, we don't have chickens - thank goodness. The little chicks are always so cute but the bottom line is that basically they're nasty little critters! My husband grew up on a farm that had a bunch of chickens and he tells me about having to butcher them, etc....and then every Sunday for lunch, they'd have fried chicken. Just hearing him tell what all they had to do makes me never want to put a piece of chicken in my mouth again. Anyway.........a couple of years ago a lady down the road from us had chickens and her dog kept killing them. Jim stopped by one day and she was complaining about it. I'm not going to go into what he suggested she do (and she did) to keep the dog from smoking out the chickens - don't want to lose all my followers, but I will say it wasn't cruel - just not pretty.
So, this little chick made the "cut" and didn't get eaten by the dog but she's wondering if she's going to be in the next pot of soup!
Inside..................
I haven't been very chatty the last couple of days and guess I MORE than made up for it today! Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Thanks for stopping by.........so, what's for dinner tonight!!!!!!

Lynn... this card is wonderful! First of all the papers are smokin' and I love how they match your theme so perfectly. Then the image, my gosh, that is a cute chicken. The sentiment could not be more perfect... it's funny and I had a good chuckle.

ReplyDeleteOK, now you've perked my curiosity! You must let me know what the end of that story is! LOL I'm here for the long haul no matter WHAT! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat card, cute image, and I LOVE the amusing sentiment inside.
We're having STEAK on the grill tonight (but we both love chicken anyway)
:)
Oh my gosh, this is just the cutest! The inside sentiment had me chuckling. I so like the color scheme and the wire fencing panels are perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh, Lynn, I'm still laughing over the inside of your card. I love that red/white paper with the barbed wire paper. That little chickie is just as a button (as are your buttons and twine.) Enjoy your Friday
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm holding my sides over this one, Lynn! Too, too funny! Is the chicken wire a stamp? Whatever it is, it's perfect for this card. Love the red checks on the dp.
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn - she will never make the pot - she's too skinny!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and I do love the image!
Blessings

bahaha! See now, I'm totally curious about the solution! My oldest LOVES chickens - all animals, really - but chickens are his favourite bird, hands down.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that sentiment on the inside, that's hilarious :)
You know, I think if we all had to kill and prepare our own food, a lot less meat would be eaten! Love your cute card Lynn and surely no-one could think of hurting that little cutie - just look at her eyes!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous design and loving the wire backing paper. I love the gorgeous chicken too.

ReplyDeleteLOVE this card and the chicken wire goes perfect with the chicken! Hugs, Karen
ReplyDeleteLove the barbed wire background - brilliant!
ReplyDeleteLove this little chick. I need to find that stamp, as I have a Sis-in-law who has the chicken theme in their house. This one would be perfect and I love all the elements you used. This card is going to cheer somebody up a whole lot. TFS
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sentiment and your card is wonderful! I love the chicken wire paper and the happy red bow and buttons!!
ReplyDeleteI grew up on a farm, raising chickens and to this day, I can not stand the smell of wet feathers! I love the eggs, but the hens can die of old age as far as I'm concerned!!
Poor chickens! I love the survivor that made it to your card- OMG - love the sentiment- is that from the same store??? Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteLove all the textures in your card, actual texture with the ribbon, buttons and twine, plus the image texture of chicken wire. Looks great!
