Now I have a story to tell why it took 7 hours to make this card!
First, I lost the rooster that came with this Country Girl stamp set by Oxford Impressions. I tore up my house trying to find it and retrace my steps this morning and maybe I just didn't mount it in the first place since I've had this for 6 months and never used it until today.
Then I decided to try to find this Longaberger basket liner for my Row Your Boat basket in red, white and blue and had one of my children look in the attic and then I went through every nook and cranny that I usually hide stuff in.
Then a wicked storm comes through and the tornado siren goes off for about a minute so I had to round the troops up, get water, grab my cell and junk drive that has everything on it and go and hide in the powder room under the stairs.
Then that was over with and I tried looking for the rooster again. No luck with that so I used the Rustic Rooster for SU.
Then from all of the downpour from the storm, my gutters just sort of fell off because the ice storm clogged everything which will be something else I have to add to my claim.
Then I finally finished up this card and am posting it here.
Thank you for looking! Hugs and blessings!
Oh, and this card is for FS109 where my friend Judy is the Featured Stamper. Congrats Judy! I used her FS23 card to CASE and you can find it here:

Well, GF, I'm sorry for all you had to go thru, but it was worth the wait and the effort! This is delightful, Cindy! This reminds me of the old fashion adds one sits and reads when eating at some of the *down home* places! Thanks for hanging in there! Wonderful!
