Wahoo, I won one of the Awards For Excellence with For Keeps - for photography! I've just collected my prizes from a friends place - she went shopping to spend my $500 voucher at Scrapbookers Delight in Auckland for me - how cool is that a prize & a personal shopper!!!??? Any way I got quite a few bits of patterned paper, cardstocks (still need white!!!), a new trimmer, an embossing heat gun, some stazons, some distressing ink a new cutting mat, some cool powders, adhesives & tombow, anyway, have to go put it all in it's place so I can use it. Niks coming up tonight so we can play - have a tag to make for our cyber friend Sal of Scrap Of Faith as she had her fifth baby - Cowper early this morning - Congrats Sal! Anyway, gotta vacuum since Niks coming....
Yesterday afternoon we had the pleasure of first listening to this chick tap away at the inside of the egg then see it break free of it's shell. The children and I loved watching this process as well as seeing it dry out and turn into those lovely fluffy things you picture in your mind as you think of chickens. This chicken is a 'wellsummer'. Mum loves raising hens and has them running around the yard - I love seeing them run to the lawn when we call for them with scraps of food - an almost busy waddle. The chick hatched in an incubator - mums Christmas present - it even turns the eggs evenly during the incubation period. This chick is now with a mother hen getting used to hen language and guidance.
