Here are two of the finished layouts:
My chickens live in a big coop. A big strong coop. A coop that hasn't moved an inch even though a seven point one earthquake hit us, followed by lots of it's friends...Last night the wind was so strong that my coop blew over. Because it was dark and windy there was also driving rain. These things must go together LOL. Of course Lyall and I were out there in this freezing cold, sleet like driving rain and howling wind, with a torch peering in the little door that the chickens use to go in and out trying to see if they were okay. They appeared unharmed and just a little dazed, so we left them in there for the night as we really couldn't do anything else. The coop can only be moved by four wheel drive. In the morning they came out of their little door and had breakfast and Lyall uprighted the coop. It is now back up with it's back against the garage, fastened down as much as we can make a coop that big fastened down...This wind was so noisy and the rain so heavy that Lyall didn't hear the coop fall over - Donna and I di but didn't know what it was, just assumed the only thing we had outside that could crash was the carport or the coop :-)
Enjoy your last week of the term people. Wrap up warm and drink hot chocolates :-)

Love that middle layout especially - can't believe you have never used more than one colour glimmermist on a page!funny! I sympathise with your poor chickies - we suffered through one of the most unsettling and sometimes scarey nights of our lives last night, in a motorhome, in that driving rain and gusty wind! I'm glad we didn't blow over!
wow thats scary at how windy it was down your way with the chicken coop blowing over like that. Glad the chickens are okay. Oh I like those layouts very pretty....simple and stunning.

These layouts are just gorgeous! I just saw Vicki's on her blog, too. What a great class!
WOW, I am glad your chooks are okay! Must have been very windy! We've had strong winds here too, they knocked over the chairs on our deck and a yukka in the garden ... we're normally quite sheltered but it was really blowing a gale!
Awesome layouts Trace, class looks like it was enjoyed by quite a few.
Glad the chooks are ok and hope you are having a great holiday!
