I am so udderly happy today because I learned this morning that we are going to California to my good friend, Tosha's (aka stamps4funinca), house for da Muddermark's Teapot Tuesday party! I have been wanting to meet Tosh like forevah, fer sure! (note to self: work on the California valley girl lingo). I owe a debt of gratitude to Dawn (Flowergal36) for suggesting the cow theme to da Muddermark, which prompted the California visit!
Now, for the real story. Even though Alicia is a star in her own right because she's done a TV commercial and she has these long, beautiful eyelashes, she better do her udderly best because Char the Star is comin' to town! You see, Char has always wanted to be a famous cow actress her entire life and now that this opportunity arose, she's taking full advantage of it. She can dance, sing, and act like no other cow you have evah seen. And I'm sure the fact that she has the most beautiful udders evah won't hurt her case. Oh, yesirreeee, her star does brightly shine.
So, Alicia, mooove on over for Char the Star; there's a new cow in town!!!

Wow - I am soooo... confused now. I want Alicia to win but there are also so many other great cows. Char is very cute and very talented and her dream seems every bit as clear as Alicia's and the others. Maybe they could all get together and come up with a group act to present as well as their solo offerings.
I love your DP choices and Char is definitely cute, cute, cute.

Charlene, I love Char. She is adorable. I think she has a great chance of winning. Just watch out for Alicia. She is spreading rumors about some of the other cows having sour milk, just so she can win. Marla, is such a fake. She even changed her name to Felicity. Now there is still a lot of other competition out there, especially Tomas' cow. I love your red gingham bow.

Little Goofy Char, Char.
She thinks she is a Star Star!
Came all the way to Tosh�s
She�s actin� quite obnoxious.
Alicia says she�s clumsy
She even spilled her Tea, Tea!
The judges are all wishing.
That etiquette was her mission!
Alicia is the winner!
Char, Char�s someone�s dinner!
Okay, you card is precious and adorable! But Char the Star is runner up to Alicia! Come in the back of the barn Bertie, we need to talk bribes here....Alicia really needs to Win!
So glad you could make it. I wondered if you got home! Your card is precious and creative and Char Char does rock, she's just not gonna win!! Snort!

I'm thinking she had an udder job. If I read the rules right that removes her from this competition. No cosmetically enhanced body parts are allowed. LOL. This is adorable Charlene. Definetly a star in my book but you know how those judges like to stick to their rules. Great card. Love the cow image. She is moooovelous.

Char the star might be able to sing and dance and act like no other cow. BUT can she wear designer duds and LOOK GOOD? I think not. Miss Bessy, on the other hand can! PICK MISS BESSY!
Darling card Charlene. Wait, is Char really short for Charlene? To funny! Love your card! TFS :0)
