1. Happy Tuesday! Dawn (Flowergal36) wanted to do cows, I wonder why? She might be up to something! Anyway, I thought, hey why not! And, I even have a really good friend (Tosh/Stamps4funinCA) who lives in California and has a Dairy Farm! Since airfare is not a problem for us anymore, we are off to California, to Tosh's house! I told her we were coming and that we would not make a mess. Rut Roh!!!
2. Meet Alicia. She is somewhat of a star as she has her own TV Commercial Her number one goal in life is to be a California cow and she is on a mission. You can tell just how important it is to her by the fact that she stuck that Pick Me sign over my apple just as the picture was snapped. Arrghhhh!!!
3. Don't tell Alicia cuz she doesn't want any competition but bring your cows and join us along with Tosh's cows for tea! Oh and one more thing, we are going to have lessons on how to milk a cow! Should be fun yes? No worries Tosh. I'll keep everything under control!
If you want to read the rest of the story, see the teapot as well as the other cards in the teapot parade and join our teaparty, visit my blog.
Vote for Alicia!!!

Very pretty Alicia, your little sign here, but a cow should not dress up to make an impression. I didn't say that now, that comes from Tomas now, he is Serena's closest friend and owner.
But you can come in number 2 if there is one. LOL
Cindy, she is so sweet, how bad is that Tomas for saying those things, sorry about that , you know how those new "agents" are. All fired up and rearing to give it a go at fame, even if it means hurting poor sweet Alicia's feelings. I love the hat she is sporting though. I would pick her even if Serena is kinda cute.

This is adorable. I think of all the teapot cards you have created this is my favorite. I love cows and I am doing a happy dance with this challenge. I loved the commercial. That cracked me up. They are about as creative as you. I can't wait to see some of these ladies milking a cow. I think they may want a clothespin for their noses....maybe some gloves too.

Your card is so lovely, you are very talented. Once again thanks for hosting, and I haven't been to California in a while so I'm excited this week, hope my mad cow dosen't scare Alicia too much!
I was trying to do something different, my friend Maureen always says she can pick my card out from the batch everytime! HA.

I am sending in my vote for Alicia as soon as I find out where you send in your votes. This card rocks as usual. I don't know how you continue to make these awesome copies of these teapots week after week - you definitely are talented. I have to run get my cows ready for their picture.

Just a little note to let you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth! [I wouldn't invest THAT kind of money, then forget about you all!] The last 2 weeks have been filled with Vacation Bible School and/or jury duty. I AM keeping up with you ladies [missed the lily pond last week and this week's trip, too! :( ], and will be back in action soon! ~K

Cindy, this is a wonderful creation! I love how her eyes look. She looks so innocent. It is hard to believe that she has started rumors about sour milk just get other contestants disqualified. Who would have guessed? She looks so wholesome in her jeans, striped shirt and with that adorable straw hat.

Okay, now that I've spent about a 1/2 hour on that site watching all those videos (shhhhhh, don't tell anyone, I'm the only one at work today, shoulda brought my stamps!) - I'm here to comment.
Alicia is a ringer for that teapot! If they were giving awards for that, she'd definitely be the winner, hands, or horns down!
Another wonderful creation and the start of another great tea party!!
