Say, did you happen to see the Hallmark Special on TV Sunday? If you did, did you happen to catch Curt's "cameo"? He was the Happy black and white cow. That Curt, he just seems to show up everywhere.....like outside this Texas Bird n Breakfast wearing a billboard. Confused? Go here to see what the heck I'm babbling about.....then come back for a quick story...
Curt herd about Beulah, The Bluebird and her dilemma. You see she is now the owner of the Texas Bird n Breakfast but doesn't know how to attract customers. That's where Curt comes in. He's a walking billboard of advertisement. Plus he brought a small token gift in the red wagon for the Red Lexus owners. Always the thoughtful Cow. Hope those cobblestones aren't to rough on his hoofs!
...Oh, the mustache gang holding up my card are friends of Curt's. Crazy me, I opened up a drawer and Wal-la there they were. Don't remember buying them but glad I have them. One more thing, whoever is to the left of me I want to apologize for the smudged sign Curt is holding in his mouth. Somehow it got smeared right at the end. Wanted to blame it on the sign maker, but that would be ME! hehe
My day started off with a bummer, one of my parakeets passed on to the big bird house in the sky. So I was sad. But then after viewing some of the amazing teapot cards today, I am feeling much better! .....Thanks for stopping by! :0)

I got really skeered when I saw Curt in the gallery and the card was titled "Bon Appetite". Well with Texas and everything mentioned in this challenge my mind went to "barbeque" and I thought what on earth has he been up to now that he's got himself into hot... well I just got skeered. Anyway I'm totally relieved to see he's just making a bit of moola from his advertising company.

Always thinkin' that Curt. Hey, I never noticed that he had baby blues...sure to draw in the bovine crowd at least! Totally rockin' scene and yet again a highlight of the tea party. Sorry for your loss...hope that the other 'keets will be OK.

Been waiting to see what Curt would be up to this week and you didn't disappoint. Curt will certainly win the cutest and most thoughtful cow at the tea party.

Cathy, Sabrina sent me a PM saying that her latest post was a second one and was already sending her first one to someone so I should send you my card. Sorry for the confusion! You'll have to settle for mine!

Beulah's got Curt as her advertising agent? She's one smart bird then, not nearly as cuckoo as Cindy made out. She knows the man for the job for sure.
How nice that you had a gallery full of birds after losing one of your own.
I was going to use this card as a random RAK because I was a proper destination with my first card, and I have so many gorgeous birthday cards filling the piano and mantelpiece, but as you like it I'll pop it into the mail for you.
Oh my I got worried about Curt when I read Bon Appetite. I much thought in the same direction as the first poster. I was thinking T-Bones! Another wonderful creation. I really must say I like Curt's hat! Your card is amazing. I love your drawing, your sense of humor and Curt! I look forward to seeing your cards each week.

I adore his hat! Sure wish I had a card finished so I could be your neighbor in the gallery, the sign wouldnt bother me at all ...
So sorry to hear about your parakeet. They bring such joy with their happy noises. I bet the house seems quieter. I will think of you tomorrow morning when my two greet the day and send you a mental hug.
