MAR13VSNJ ~ Saturday, March 2 ~ 5:00 P. M. EST ~ Feathers
Title: Feathers
Hostess: tessaduck (Brenda)
Keyword: MAR13VSNJ
Day/Date: Saturday, March 2nd
Time: 5:00 pm EST
One of my chores, growing up on a small farm, was to feed the chickens and gather eggs. I was very familiar with feathers, and sometimes kept interesting ones. Still do, occasionally, when on the beach or on trails around here.
My challenge for you: Use feathers as embellishments on a card or project. Or, lacking the real thing, use feathers as image features, in the dp, or textures. One of my samples has real feathers, and the other has a stamped image of feathers.
Can�t wait to see your feathery creations!
VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE HERE: MAR13VSNJ
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON Monday Mar 4th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. We have a special gallery for the Birds, Bees & Creepy Crawlies VSN. When you click on Member Galleries to access the drop-down list, either scroll to the very bottom of the list (or just hit the End key which will take you straight there), and upload to that gallery .
4. Please remember to put in the correct keyword MAR13VSNJ when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen. Thanks so much for playing along! __________________

I can understand. I'm used to working on my own, with an occasional interruption from the cat who doesn't care-- Eh. De-stress, Angie. There's time, and check out the following story---> __________________

I was fortunate, during my career, to be assigned to a paper mill as a teacher on summer assignment. It was a fabulous experience-- the best professional development activity I’d ever done. Enlightening, to see the industrial workplace up close. Not many life-long educators get that opportunity. Of course, any transition is a challenge, and my assignment was huge. I wanted to do well, of course, and that invited Stress. With a capital S.
I worked with two environmental engineers. They were great mentors! About two weeks into the experience, I started leaving feathers on their desks/chairs, anonymously. The idea was to “lighten up,” a stress reliever. They didn’t know where the feathers were coming from until near the end of my assignment.
So, the last day, one of the engineers took me to the top of the tallest (and most hazardous!) buildings in the mill. We could see for miles and miles! She pulled about a dozen feathers from her pocket, and together we tossed them, one by one, into the wind.
Wow!

Yes, a bit. Finding them on the beach or on the trails is always such a fun surprise, kind of like wildflowers. They're fascinating-- the way they're engineered for strength and lightness. __________________

I didn't get a sample done for this wonderful challenge, but I will get one uploaded before Monday! I love it, Brenda! I raised chickens when I was blessed enough to live in the country. I miss them a lot.

That embossing folder is perfect for this challenge!

I just pulled some feathers out of my husband's fly tying bench. And I don't feel bad about it, because I noticed he has a bunch of my glitter in one of his drawers.

Those two booths were next to each other - I bought the Dylusions first and then cracked up when I saw that coffee cup chick |
