Update on Baby Chicks

Here is the newest picture of the new baby chicks.  They are so cute.

Sarasvati and Medusa have combined their nests and both are setting on the 6 eggs that are left.  They are raising the chicks together.  It shouldn't be too long now before the other eggs start to hatch.



I will be watching them closely to see which of the roosters the chicks are from.  We had a White Silkie and gave him away just about the time that Sarasvati started to brood.  We still have a Cochin Bantam Rooster and a Red Frizzle Bantam rooster.  


Here are a few more pictures.  They are 4 days old today.
 Here two of them are drinking.
 The darker one decided it needed a drink too.
The Mommas decided to join them for a drink.

They are such good Mommas, sometimes they won't let us see the babies and other times they push the babies out from under their wings, so that we can see them.  When we went back out this evening we found another baby chick so we are now up to 4 babies.  Hopefully they will all hatch by tomorrow Morning so I won't have to worry all evening, while I am in Estacada helping my Daughter with her Ice Cream Trailer.  If you are near Estacada Tomorrow between 5pm & 10pm or on Saturday from 10:00am and 10:00pm stop by the Ice ream Trailer and say Hello.


We will be at Wait Park in Canby, OR with the Ice Cream Trailer every Sunday from 6:00pm to 8:00pm through August 12th, for the 24th annual "Slice Of Summer" Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts will be playing on the 12th.  So if you like Ice Cream (we have at least 16 flavors and we serve Root Beer Floats) and you like old time Rock N Roll then you should come see us and say hello.  We would love to see you.

I hope this has brought some joy to you.

More Baby chicks

I went out to put the chickens to bed tonight and this is what I found.  
Medusa has a new baby too.  One down and 6 to go.
Sarasvati didn't want us to see her babies until I told her that Medusa showed us one of her babies.  So reluctantly she wiggled around till this little one popped out from all the fluffy feathers.  
They are so cute.  I can't wait till morning to see what the others look like.  

I'll keep you posted.

Happy Scrappin',

New baby chicks

My Partridge Cochin hen has been setting on 3 eggs for 3 weeks now and two have hatched so far. Here are some pics.

 When I went out to feed this morning I found this it was actually looking at me.
 Here Sarasvati (momma) is helping the second one get out of it's shell.

Aren't they so cute?
Momma is cleaning off the new one.  The other is safely tucked in under momma.

Medusa my other hen that is brooding is setting on 3 of her own eggs and 4 of someone else's.  I'm gonna have a lot of chickens if they all make it.  I can't wait to see what Medusa's look like.  The 4 eggs are from my Silver Laced Wyandottes.
 


Medusa is a Silver Laced Cochin and looks a lot like the Wyandottes.  I will share more pics later, as they hatch and momma's allow it.

CTMH retiring Colors--Available ONLY While Supplies last!!


Close to My Heart has taken a long hard look at our 60 colors and narrowed it down to 40 fabulous shades! This means that many colors are retiring, and I want to post a list of them for you in case your favorite is there. You may want to stock up on re-inker, ink pads, and card stock sooner than later, because once they're gone, they're gone! Don't assume they'll make it over to the websites at discounted prices. Many consultants are going to be ordering what they can too! SHOP ONLINE TO GET THESE ITEMS!!


RETIRING Ink refils, Paper and marker COLORS AS OF JULY 31, 2012: 

Holiday red
Tulip
Sunflower
Sunny yellow
Sunkiss yellow
Key lime
Garden green
Dutch blue
Heavenly blue
Moonstruck
Spring iris
Lilac mist
Amethyst
Petal
Pansy purple
Vineyard berry
Garnet
Brown bag
Vanilla Cream
Parchment
Taffy
Baby pink
Grey flannel
Grey wool



If you own the ink pads in any of these colors, I recommend purchasing the re-inker for that ink pad, and that way you'll be able to continue using your favorite color long after it's gone! If there is a card stock color you love, I'd stock up on that too.

Remember these are ONLY Available while supplies last.

Happy Scrapin',

It is the last day of Convention, and I get a gift?

I have been watching Facebook updates all week just to see all the cool new stuff that Close To My Heart has in the new Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book.  I wish I could go to convention next year, it is going to be at Disney World in Florida June 27 - 29.

 I went to the mail box today, which I only do when I am expecting something that I ordered online and to my surprise I found a package that I didn't order.  Who could that be from?  I wonder what it is?  Why did I get a package from CTMH?  I don't have anything on back-order.


 It was from Jeanette Lynton Founder and CEO of Close To My Heart.  
 She sent me this beautiful charm to celebrate my 5 year anniversary with Close To My Heart.
Isn't that sweet?  It is a beautiful silver charm with the signature "heart key". 

Thank you so much, I didn't expect to get anything besides the email that I received in April.  I am so excited to be part of this wonderful company.  I plan on staying with CTMH for ever.

Happy Scrapin',
