did you know...

...that september is national chicken month? no seriously, i swear i'm not making this up. it's a bona fide occasion, sponsored by the national chicken council, which i'm also not making up. there's even a snazzy national chicken month logo, which i am really really NOT making up! see?

believe it or not, i do have a POINT with all of this, because in honor of national chicken month-- (but, alas, independently from the national chicken council)-- this week at shopping our stash we are looking for projects which feature a BIRD... it doesn't necessarily have to be a chicken, but it can be if you want, and in fact many of my fellow dt members have made AWESOME chicken-based projects which i know you'll enjoy! sadly, i didn't manage to pull off such a fowl-featuring coup, but my card does have two lovely little birdies:

patterned paper: crate, american crafts, echo park, october afternoon, sei; glossy white cardstock: paper accents; florals: recollections; brad: crate paper; ink: colorbox; adhesives: elmer's gluetape runner, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine

i used the latest sketch from stuck on you sketches, which i think you'll agree is rather fab:

and now why not head on over to SOS to see the gorgeous projects? but the next time you're feeling hungry, remember to...

(you're welcome, darlings!) :) :) :)
