FEEDING THE CHOOKS ~ ARTastic CHALLENGE

Good afternoon on this hot, hot day. Not complaining I prefer summer to winter, but boy we need some rain!
The new challenge is up at ARTastic and it's all about chooks, dancing ones at that.

Criteria is Doodling

and remember "doodling" can be as simple as a hand drawn border

Originally when I saw the Challenge I was going to do a layout of my GD Dancing, then one day at work we were talking about free range hens and the word scrap bucket was mentioned. Childhood memories came flooding back ! We always had chooks and we had a Scrapbucket. As luck would have it my son had taken photo's of his Grandma pottering around doing her chores including feeding the chooks. Not as pretty as a ballerina, but all of a sudden this memory became very important for me to document. I have doodled circles in a white gel pen and doodled around the edges of the layout as well.





Awesome StudioFourteen40 Flair

I have broken the chicken wire chippy up and embossed it.

Thank you for calling by. Hope you can join us in this challenge. What does the image make you think of ? I am so glad to have this memory jogged for me and that now I have recorded it. Can't wait to see yours !

Love Peace and Happiness

What a fabulous page, and wonderful memory. Feeding the chooks is one of my favourite chores :)
I love the distressing on your page, and the chicken wire chippy is just perfect. I love the big white doodled gel-pen circles.
