It seems that I am going to be terribly late for da Mudder's Teapot Tuesday Challenge but I have been sooo busy finding a job for Curt...Alicia Cow's brother. Curt missed his sister so much that he traveled all the way to California but he needed a job real bad. Since he is a tiny little cow, being a famous stunt cow is out of the question so I contacted my friend Cookin Connie and she has agreed to give him a job ....da Mudder will be sooo happy!!!!
The adorable image from Cookbookin Clear Stamps from Stamper's Dream was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa, colored with copics, and a glitter pen was used on the beater metal. The background with "Cookin Connie" is from Webster's Pages Sweet Cherry Pie Petite Papers...the wood flourish, bling, and ribbon finish it off. I hope Curt behaves himself...if he keeps his horns to the grindstone, he may be able to make a good living and stay in California!!!
TFL and have a great day!!

Love the Kaiser wood flourish, and the great nostalgic feel to this. I am sure I have some old cookery books with just that type of illustration.
Ain't no such thing as being late to a tea-party, either!
And I hope this hasn't posted three times because of the SCS glitches.

Oh, he's living it up in California alright. He's up in the mountains having a blast! I know, I saw him with my own eyes. Works in the kitchen by morning, snowboards by afternoon. Quite good at it too I must say. DH had a time keeping up with him. Must be the four legs as opposed to two hehe.........Joan, love your card! .....and story. TFS :0)

Well now, Ms Storyteller, didnt you come all prepared to lend some substance to poor Curt's dilemna. Only one problem I can foresee: Since it takes exactly $142,000 a year to live in California, I'm not sure he'd make enough to last very long out there. Love those images. Joan. Oooh la la such flair and memorabilia you brought with you today.

What cute images. I like the black and white vs colored image look.
I think you are just fashionably late, Hollywood style - which is not really late at all.
