Today Wendy gave me the quote "Happiness is a habit - cultivate it" to work with. This challenge is also for Art Journal Journey where the challenge is "It Must Have Wings" and so I have to include wings on my page somewhere along with Dylusion figures which is part of the challenge that Wendy and I have set ourselves. eg it must have a quote one of us finds, it must have a figure of some kind from the Dylusion range of rubber stamps and it must fit in with the challenge at Art Journal Journey. Thank goodness chooks have wings.
"Clara Cluck and Henrietta Hen were best friends in the farm yard. 'A couple of busybodies' were how they were known by all the other animals in the farmyard. Always good for a bit of gossip Clara kept her beak to the ground most of the time and knew all that was going on, not only in her farmyard but also in all farms in the County.
"Clarissa Cow over at Johnston's Farm has had a big falling out with Billy the Bull. She accused him of having an affair with her friend Buttercup" she said to a wide audience at the farmyard. Dilly Duck' s beak fell open at this news and she said she simply did not believe it. Whereas Charlotte Chicken's eyes widened so much that she looked as if she was going to burst.
Just as Clara was going to continue with her story Camilla Cow came around the corner and said in her usual loud voice "That's a lie, where is your proof. In fact where is the proof in all the stories you and Henrietta spread around the farmyard?"
"It's not a lie" squeaked Clara nervously, for nobody challenged Camilla, "I got it on good authority from my cousin Deirdre."
"You know what", bellowed Camilla, Happiness is a habit - cultivate it. That would be much better for you and your friend over there than all this gossip you seem to thrive on. I suppose your cousin Deirdre, like you did not come from a box of Happy Eggs at Asda."
