Emerson heard about the Whykickamoocow festivities and took herself off to Southern Australia in the hopes of being in the swimsuit competition (which a couple of birds told her about). She was quite disappointed to be told by a few of the judges (all men, of course) that she needed to lose a few if she hoped to win any bathing beauty competitions, to which she exclaimed "Well, I never...". She pulled her full-length beach coverup on over her bikini and went in search of solace at the food tents. She has a nice big serving of french fries and a bowl of chocolate ice cream for dipping them in. Also a nice tall gin and tonic; all set to kick back and watch the fireworks : )

Oh my! I'm going to follow Emerson to that tent and get myself a tall g&t too! We can watch the fireworks together! Those fireworks look mighty fine and I think Emerson does too. It pays to feel good in one's skin. :-) Love that sentiment - absolutely perfect!

I'm going to join Emerson (and Ann) in the tent, a G&T and fireworks sounds great!! Claudia your card and story are a hoot, DH was walking past as I was crying with laughter...he thinks we are all bonkers LOL. I love the colour block background and fabulous fireworks and of course Emerson is a winner!! Thanks so much for bringing all this fun to Whykickamoocow.

There really can't be a celebration without food and drink, now can there? Emerson's chocolate is sure to sooth any of those offensive remarks that the judges used to critique her. So, go ahead, Emerson, swig your wine and take in that beautiful fireworks display. Tomorrow is a new day!!

Your ombre paper was a fab choice to go with the fireworks. What a fun sentiment. Fries and icecream - I might pass but I'll share the G&T with her happily. Fun card, Claudia.

Love how you did your card, and that saying is so perfect for some people I know! (I have to admit - I should eat the sald, but would LOVE the chocolate!)

Emerson is certainly enjoying her self in the food tent - lots of us there to keep her company and none of us choosing the salad I bet - he he he. The fireworks background is perfect against the night sky too.
