I don't remember ever having visited the Ellen Hutson site before but it is a fun site. I am very interested in bullet journals so I watched this super fun video and was inspired by it:
I made a mask and sponged the rectangles in my journaling Bible (Psalms 71 - God's Help in Old Age).
Then I stamped the various chickens from SU! Hey Chick! inside the mask. I wrote in humorous sayings about old age. Then I made a card using some cardboard from the 50,000 Amazon boxes we have gotten in the last week. The bg is ink/spray/smash.
Then I painted and assembled the cardboard into a coop. I added in some vintage photo and stenciled on some images/words/numbers. I made the sentiment using my computer:
Q: What do you call a scary chicken?
A: A poultrygeist.
I am sending it to a work friend who loves chickens and raises them. Inside I also put hope you are staying sane being all cooped up. We had our first week working from home and it has been an adjustment for us - less fun than we thought it would be.
I didn't realize there was a psalm about old age - how great is that!
I also learned today that 7 people wrote the Psalms and that Moses wrote Psalm 90 and maybe 90-100. David is only believed to have written between 73 and 88 of the 150 Psalms. I thought David wrote them all.
Thanks for the inspiration, Stacy, Ellen Hutson, and Adelina Starace (who I cased and I totally recommend watching her video).

Yes - the Psalms are wonderful - you can find comfort and encouragement for just about anything you are going through in the Psalms! Love how you journaled on your Bible and that awesome corrugated house card - you were certainly inspired today Nancy!

How cute and fun is this, Nancy. Those chicks are a hoot! Love the sentiment/question. I just read Psalm 71. It's nice to know He's got my back at any age~
