What do you do when you've got to get to California and you've got to bring your cow?
No, this is not the start of a bad joke - it's all about the tea party this week. Check out Cindy Motherway's Teapot Tuesday challenge on her glob http://mothermark.blogspot.com/2009/...k-me-pick.html and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

This is a great card - I love how you worked in a personal story. That basket is close to the tree line - you need to fire up the burner and get some more hot air in there so you can move a little higher. It has been windy lately so maybe you can get there a little faster - just catch one of those tradewinds or something (hope you brought some snacks and blankets).
Very good job and tfs.

Oh, Lorraine!! This is just ADORABLE!!!!! I love your balloon!! How creative you are... making a pattern from your picture. What is even better is that you actually did have a cow hot air balloon in that picture. You just never know where you will find inspiration, I guess!! I just love everything you did here. Love the tree tops, the red plaid balloon, and the sentiment looks great on that shape. LOVE IT!!!

Helllloooooooo up there! I want what you were having that early morning that you saw a cow flying! Sounds like fun....as is this cow balloon. Way cool. I know what happens when a flock of birds fly over, not sure what happens when a cow flys over but I think I want an umbrella! This little scene is awesome. Love your *story*. What an entrance you are going to make! TFS :0)
BTW, Vote for Miss Bessy!

What an adorable cow balloon. I love how you gave us the perspective with the trees at the bottom. I love how your balloon has the teapot's clothes as the inspiration for the colors. I am with Cathy on the thinking I might want an umbrella if a cow is flying overhead!
