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.

New Class Offering

I have a new class to offer which is a bit different from the ones I usually teach. 
I have gotten the supplies I was waiting for so it's time to open up signups. I'm going to be doing some wooden project classes. Hu
The first is a series of four seasonal collage frames for your home(would also be a great gift, but I'm keeping mine)  
The first we will do is the winter one
 Followed by the spring
Eventually going on to summer and fall. 

These pictures are of the company's samples. The ones you do WILL NOT be using the same papers. 
The initial class will be a bit more expensive because it includes your initial frame

Mine is black but it is also a available in white.
The high quality frame has a metal backing allowing each piece to be added with very strong included magnets. Through the year you simply change the pieces. 
The class will include some painting, but much of the work will be done by tracing the design of the pieces and gluing them to the wood. The sets start out like this. 


I am going to teach this class in my home on Wednesday nights beginning with the first class on January 15th at 6pm when we will be making the winter set. 
The price of that first class will be  $55. You will receive the frame in that class. The following classes will be $30.
When signing up you will be committing to four classes over the span of this year. You will be making winter, spring, summer,  and finally fall. 
Throughout the year there will be optional classes offered to include holidays. Such as...

I'm inviting you to join me to create these fun decorative frames throughout the year, but let me know as soon as possible since I need time to order the wood products you will need.

Crazy Lady!

Well folks, this crazy old lady just got done hanging my own Christmas lights outside. I'm lucky I didn't fall and splat on the concrete. I hope they look okay because they just may stay there forever.
Not a job I think I'll be doing again.

NEW YEAR CROP!!!

          Next up is the New Year crop!
                     Five big days!
I'm really excited about this one ladies. I mean what better way to ring in the new year than scrapping with fun friends?
Contact me at snipnscrap@yahoo.com
                  if you'd like to join us.
Some people are getting a room there.
They have said that if there are enough people interested in doing that, we can get a block of rooms and a better rate, so let me know also if you are interested in doing that.

Hint.....The very first day of the crop is New Year's Eve so we're going to celebrate with a pajama party.

At Last!!!

There is a shed in the yard of my wonderful new home which is available for me to use. It was however, full to the brim with stuff. Everything was crammed in right up to the door. It was too big a job for me since there were several pieces of furniture stuffed in there, but today I got help and it is cleaned out and ready to use. I am so thrilled and forever grateful for Eric's help.

THANK YOU!!!!!

A bunch of furniture was put out on the sidewalk for college kids to grab up
And as you can see there was a lot of junk to get rid of.

November Crop

Well ladies, my November crop has come and gone and in the new location. I'm really pleased with it and I think all twenty some ladies who attend were too  As usual, I forgot to take pictures while the room was full and everything was in full swing, but I got these at the very end when most everyone was already gone.
We had a great time.
 I simply must get better at remembering to take pictures!!! 😜

Thomas the Turkey

Yesterday in class we made this turkey punch art.
I just love him!!
I haven't taught any punch art in quite some time. Some were thrilled to be doing it (thank you Linda), but some of the ladies thought I was crazy  I hope they weren't too overwhelmed by it cause we're doing some Christmas punch art in next months class.
I can hardly wait to make the sheperd I have planned!
He has legs BTW, 
they just aren't in this picture 

And speaking of turkeys, I saw this on the internet. I got a giggle. Maybe you will too.

Thanksgiving Comes

Thanksgiving is nearly here and you may be in need of place cards for your table, or maybe you've been invited elsewhere and could use a thank you.

I have a few things to offer, shown in this video.


Okay, I obviously messed up with this video, but I'm just too lazy to redo it. Maybe you can just tilt your head a litte  ☺️
