Curt, I found you!.....Seems he gave up jumping over the moon and is now jumping off mountain tops with a board hooked to his hoofs. Let me back up a little.....
I was vacationing at a ski resort by Tahoe catching some rays on my face while DH snowboarded. All of a sudden my pocket starts moo'ing. I knew it was my sister calling. I answer....Hello?...She was all upset, said Curt, Alicia's brother, was missing and that he might just be in my area. Told her not to worry I was on the hunt.
Grabbed a hot air balloon ride that just happened to be at the ski area, took my telescope and Up Up and away I went. While searching for the missing Curt, I see a flash of light. I zoom in and this is what I saw......(see card). Curt was having a ball, jumping anything insight except the moon, hehe, gave up on that one. He really is rather short. So glad he had his red sunglasses on or I'd never found him.
SO, ya'll can relax now, he is safe and sound, going to hang out with DH and myself while we finish up our vacation. We will be talking some sense into him. No more shenanigans for him! Will be home soon.
Only stamps used were a CDS for the little tree and my Mutnik small triangle, the rest was from the picture DH took of me up in the hot air balloon. He never can get me in the photo! hehe......TFL :0)

Ah ha, you caved, didnt you? You did pretty darn good though, I'll give you that much. I hate to say this but Curt looks an awlful lot like my car. I'll have to send you a photo. I'm not kidding. Your card is just a hoot and that's one pretty 'almost believeable' story. YOu're just helping your sister out; I know what's going on here. You read her story and then come over here and say, yup, that's exactly the way it all happened, or came down. I love your card, but then I love you too. See how that works.

I love the teamwork between a coupla sisters to save the day! You did good just to find your cell phone and answer it! Giggle! This is such a precious card....it kills me how you can make pretty much anything....to fit any purpose! You are a creative one! When I read your sister's story, I thought well, me thinks that's nuttin but a big ole make believe story but after looking at your card and reading your story, I see now that you have substantiated her version of the story! I don't think BOTH of you would pull our legs!
Love the dimension, your drawing, the detail! You just rock!
Psst...you know that big ole message you just sent me about Johnny? Can you resend it...I accidently deleted it and I would like to read it closer! Duh...what a dummy I am!
But, I was so surprised to see you being on vacation and all. Love that you made it! It will be good to get that little Curt the Squirt back! Snugs.

You're back!!
Well, I knew you were back, got your PM last night just when I was on my way to bed...but you're back AND you've brought your holiday snaps along to the tea-party. Now, I am a bit worried about the idea of Curt taking up the idea of boarding if he hangs out with yoru DH, seems to me that a cow is going to need a pretty big board and everyone else had best stay well clear. I just reckon he might take a notion, as someone else has already suggested this is the way for him to go...
As for the idea that he looks like Anne's car - I can't imagine what that says about Anne's car, LOL.
