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.

National Brothers Day

 Tomorrow is Brothers Day, a day to honor the brothers in our lives and take time to celebrate them. Whether you grew up with one brother or a few or have a friend you love like a brother, today’s holiday gives you a terrific reason to spend time together or get in touch. The day has been around since 1997, when it was created by a woman named C. Daniel Rhodes in honor of her brother. Unfortunately I've not come up with much more information about it. 

As many of you know, I lost my youngest brother Leo early this year. It was a difficult time but I am blessed with the knowledge that I will be reunited with him someday. I have one remaining brother, my younger brother Bud, and though he has gotten to be a crochety old man I love him to pieces. While Leo was still here, Bud started texting him "Happy Friday" each week so that he know he was okay and wouldn't worry. He included me in the idea and still texts me each week. I'm going to text him tomorrow and tell him it's National Brother's Day. He'll think it's weird but I'm doing it anyway. If you have a brother and are near enough to be able to get together I encourage you to do so even if it's just to give them a giant hug.
