If you follow Anne Ryan's story about hiring Dog the Bounty Hunter to investigate my addiction to photographing my cards on my favorite tree in the front yard, you will never believe this story. I went outside to take pictures of a couple of my cards on my tree....during prime sun time with my tree. I at least had changed from my nightgown to capri pants but still had my slipper boots on which almost meet the bottom of my pants....not a pretty site but at my age....who cares. This very old car (they should have traded it in when they had the chance) pulled up and two rough looking guys got out and one walked up to MY yard. He had a badge hanging on his chest (like Dog) but was definitely not as accomplished as Dog. He said he was not here for me but was checking on the last name of my neighbor and if I knew if they were home!!!!! This is true....I know it doesn't sound possible due to the story Anne Ryan started, but it is true. I still don't believe it but I was there!!! I walked in side and my phone was ringing and it was my sister, mutnik. Really started to sound fishy except mut and Annie Jo do not know the name of my neighbor unless Annie really does have 'people.' Fiction became reality today in my front yard next to my tree. Who would believe this!!!!
This is one of the digital pictures, mut and I had fun shopping for on Mo's Digital Pencil. Colored with prisma colored pencils and gamsol. Did a little faux stitching. This is for my card group tonight.
Thank you for looking. Comments appreciated

Hahahahahahahah! Still laughing here. I totally can't believe it. One of Dog's bounty hunters at your tree. That Anne has some strong pull doesn't she! Yikes, kind of a scary thought. Anyway, back to the card, this is so sweet! Now I wish I got this image too. Super cute, your coloring is over the top. Love the dp, layers and flower embellishments. Sis, You Done Good. Have fun tonight. Luv Ya! TFS :0)

Sweet card but not so sweet story! Why are you surprised? I told you weeks ago dog the bounty hunter was on the prowl for you! It comes as no suprise that 2 of his bounties pulled up to your sidewalk. I paid them enough to find you, but I didnt send the last installment, so it's no surprise they stopped dead in their tracks. I'll get that check in the mail asap and if I were you, I'd stay clear of that tree with those damn slipper boots you own. BTW, what the heck are slipper boots? Despite all this, you managed to keep your adorable card on your tree. I thought for sure you'd be heading for the hills by now!

awesome card, love the image and the red and white bow. As for the story, time to put up a no trespassing sign, so you can take your photo's wearing whatever you want, it's your yard and tree and you have the right not to be disturbed. LOL TFS

What a story! Perhaps those slipper boots are sexier than you though and they were checkin' you out! It would have been a scream if you thought they were fake and sent them on their way to North Carolina! I'll bet Anne has me a few bounty hunters in her time!
