Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens!

Happy Easter! I am on one of my no-sugar drives at the moment, so no Easter eggs for me! Colin is spending the money on a pack of Pro Markers instead!

Easter seemed like a perfect opportunity to use this chicken stamp by Crafty Individuals. I did a Google Images search to try to get the colouring of the chickens right. I love the vintage background and the chicken wire design of this stamp. I dotted some sequins I bought in France around it for a bit of sparkle, and to match the chicken colours.


Inside the box are some cute fluffy chicks, which were a present from Lynne, and a nest of eggs which was a present from Petra. Thank you so much, both of you! I added a bit of blue mesh from a pack of tomatoes.

  1. Your lovely box is like something that my nan might have had tucked away in a drawer somewhere. It emanates a lovely sentimental feel. Good luck with the no sugar this Easter.

    No sugar - yikes! I received a beautiful Lindt egg this morning. No, I didn't eat it for breakfast, as tempted as I was!!! It is still in it's packaging.
