This is MOOOOOO's Story (hee hee... a am plagiarizing here). This Tea cup is on it's way to the tea party in California this week. I got the tea cups covered, if someone else has the cream *hint Hint*
It is all about Cow Power for Alicia!
After Cali my tea cup will be on it's way to Oregon for one of my BFF's Marta. We were college roomie's and apartment mates for years. When we were in college we used to drive up to Vt. to go skiing. Marta loves cows so we used to pass tons (ha ha) of them on our way. She was even known to pull off to the side of the road to take some pics of them. One time I asked her if she preferred Black and White ones over all the others. She said: "Aesthetically speaking?" I just thought this was the funniest thing... just hit my funny bone. Marta called last week to let me know she has been struggling a bit. Over the past year she got married, bought a house, had a baby, gained a step daughter and left her job! I think she needs a cow card!
No time for a trip to Michael's this week. I went right to the internet to get my images (bing.com). (I have no cow stamps). I bribed my kids to be good while I finished my card and then I will take them in the pool... hee hee... Little do they know, I would have anyway!

This is one pretty tea cup indeed Maureen , sure to cheer up your friend. I do love how yo made that sentiment, clever and so beautiful too.
More cow power to you! As for some which name I wil not say (((MOTHERMARK))), are not subtle about wanting a vote for their cow. Me, I just send big checks in the mail. Name your price and I will make out the check, this isn't bribing, this is just plain business, California style! LOL
Have fun at the party. Did anyone see the green eyed guy, they say he is worth an eyefull. I don't know, I only have eyes for Vincent! TFS

COWABUNGA cow power to you, Maureen, for making this adorable teacup card! I think you should order up this teacup and saucer for all the tea party attendees, and we can use them at all future tea parties! I really like how you did the ribbon on this, too, and what a funny story about your friend. Have a great time!

A cow teapot and now cow china. Well, why not! What fun. This should make your friend smile! It did me! Now I'm craving some oreos or black and white cookies to go with the tea this week. They'd look fabulous alongside your wonderful china!

Wow! Great job on your Cow Power card! I love these tea parties! They get us to put on our Thinking Caps in order to find the right images for our cards, and you did great with your cow cup and saucer!! Very clever and unique!!
