The Chicken Coop

I am a paper crafter. I've been playing with paper, and cutting and pasting for many years now and I still just love it. I teach classes each month and would love to have you.
You can find me at MyRedHen.blogspot.com and on Pinterest
or email me at MyRedHen4@yahoo.com
I'd love to hear from you.
Every now and then I have some cards or little treats available for sale that may be seen here.
My blog also contains my personal posts. Ignore them if you like, but you may get a kick out of them. Maybe my girls will read them one day and get insights into the inner workings of an old woman's brain....Scary Thought!
There is a list of labels on the right side of the blog, so you can click there to go to only the posts that you are interested in. That will allow you to skip the personal posts and any items for sale if you wish. No matter which way you choose, I hope will enjoy my little blog and visit often.

I Scream You Scream

Ladies I'm checking in on the blog to see if anyone's trying to win my prize. so far the only way I've told you you could qualify to win is to comment here on my blog. I've started filling my pretty box and someone is going to win it.
You Paper Pumpkin Club ladies were the only ones I had told about the prize, bur that changes now. Here is a picture of how I turned my Pumpkin box into a cute gift box which is going to be given away to one of you. Enter to WIN!!
I finished designing the cards for April's Round Up class yesterday. I'm ahead of the game so if any of you need something creative to do, let me know and I will make the video and make you a kit. 
The April class is the last one of this round and because I'm ahead I began working on the May class today. I finished something SO cute and I gave a little hint about it somewhere on this post. Do you see it? (That just might help with your prize entries)
That next Round is for four months again, May through August and beginning with that round the price will be going up to $25. I know things are wierd right now so I hope you won't shy away from joining me. We need to keep this virus from stealing our creative fun! Some new products and new techniques are going to be introduced during this next one.  I hope we will be back together soon but until then I'm going to continue making the videos and I hope to get better and better at it. Until I can get with Rae for some lessons I'm on my own.  
Horrors!!

Shameful!!

Well, I titled this blog post Shameful because it is awful that it's March and this is the first post I have written so far this year.
Right now I'm homebound like the rest of the country. I must say, this is so strange to me. I have never seen anything like this happen here in our country. How fortunate we have been! And spoiled.

I'm istening to my radio while I work and one of the announcers said she will never again take a roll of toilet paper for granted. So true!! When this began I would not have expected toilet paper to be one of the items that would immediately disappear off the shelves.  I mentioned it to my checkout girl the other day and she said it no longer exists. Seems like it, but I finally was able to get some, along with a few other things that were hard to come across.
I'm set and I have spent the days solidly at my desk working, working and working some more. I'm preparing my classes as usual, but filming them instead of teaching them in person. I'm still very new at it but I think l my wonderful students will give me some grace. My Paper Pumpkin Club was the first one to go and I filmed it yesterday
So for this blog post I thought I'd post a picture of the cards and such that I have made from this month's kit..So far
I still have quite a bit more  supplies to use before I'm done. I really like this kit and the sentiments turned out to be so timely. So I'm going to pop this up there on the blog and get back to my desk and work, work, work some more.
