I grew up in the city limits, yet that did not deter my father from bringing home 2 peacocks one day. Yup, we had two beautiful peacocks in our backyard. OMG...such beautiful feathers but their hollering did not go over well with the neighbors. I was the most popular kid on the block and at school, for everyone wanted to barter to get a peacock feather...even the teachers. Upon arriving home from school one day, the peacocks were gone. They were gone as quick as they had arrived. But, those were 2 really cool months. My father was forever bringing home things like that.
Anyhooooo....I made a peacock card in their memory...haha The Peacock Set from Doodle Pantry is a new November release....check out the other images and coordinating papers and join us for the DP#40 Challenge.

ReplyDeleteAwww.. When I was in school-I remember peacock feathers were like gold,so I can understand why you were one popular chick!
ReplyDeleteWonderful die cut and the colors in the peacock image are glorious. I love peacocks, too, but as a kid I remember living next door to a pair of them and the screeching was horrendous! lol I admit I was glad when they moved away.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you had quite a childhood! I love the colors on your card, Cely.
ReplyDeleteHope you're settling in nicely in your new home!
