Our theme this week is "Backyard Farming." Today we made scrapbook chickens for our craft. We got the idea from a fabric version on a chicken found here:

We cut out shapes from scrapbook paper using the templates from the fabric bird tutorial... | | |

We got tired of waiting for our wild flowers to come up so we planted some impatiens....you can see the wildflowers starting to peek up from the mulch.... |

We got a pretty fence to go around them so they don't get mowed over! |
