WARNING! Layout may be offensive to you if.....

and downright disturbing if..... you're a "Turkey Lover"! I created this layout several weeks ago for a Willow Traders challenge. It's actually my 2nd take of it because wouldn't it figure that the last thing that I would do is journal on my page. I loved the original because it was on Bazzill scalloped cardstock and it was the most perfect shade of Orange, well silly me, I got this "bright" idea to journal around the scallops..... It looked horrid! I had to do something and the only logical thing was to redo my layout. Imagine this... I'm sitting there with pen in hand and the clock is ticking down rather quickly with only 15 minutes left to the deadline. I knew that I didn't have anymore of that lovely Orange scalloped cardstock but to my dismay, it seems that I didn't have ANY Orange cardstock in my supply... What the heck was I thinking when I last added to my Bazzill stash??? Anyways for the next 5 minutes, almost every kit that I've ever owned threw up on my bed... Seriously, my WHOLE bed was full of papers and embellishments. This was a very difficult thing for someone as OCD as I am to witness but I NEEDED a sheet of Orange Bazzill...... Finally, I found one and threw this "puppy" together. I think I ended up getting it posted with only one minute to spare until deadline. Then right away, I painstakingly placed every single sheet of patterned paper, matching cardstock and embellishment back into it's rightful place... a chore that took quite awhile to complete! Anywho....after all that, the story behind the layout! Now, I'm a country gal and live in the backwoods but I am not a huge Nature lover so I don't go outdoors alot. It seems that I had turkeys that enjoyed meeting as a group on my backsteps quite frequently. I was informed this when I came home to find a group of turkeys in my driveway, all in a circle like they were holding an important meeting or something like that, well... it was cute so I dashed over to my neighbors house to let her know that we had turkeys, only to be given the above mentioned bit of information..... After that, I kept a better eye out for these turkeys but even though I heard their "gobbles" quite a bit, they kept themselves well hidden. For the past 3 Thanksgivings here, it has rained and on each one, I would happen to look out of my door to see, not one, not two but about 12 turkeys running in front of my trailer all in a straight line.... It's almost like they were laughing that they had stayed hidden all year and because they knew that the hunters were home enjoying a Thanksgiving meal, they were safe to come out and play! Now you tell me, that isn't smart? I live in a different place this year so I won't be able to see them but I have a feeling that once again, they'll be out, all running in a straight line and laughing all the way!
