1. Happy Tuesday! Dawn (Flowergal36) wanted to do cows, I wonder why? She might be up to something! Anyway, I thought, hey why not! And, I even have a really good friend (Tosh/Stamps4funinCA) who lives in California and has a Dairy Farm! Since airfare is not a problem for us anymore, we are off to California, to Tosh's house! I told her we were coming and that we would not make a mess. Rut Roh!!!
2. Meet Alicia. She is somewhat of a star as she has her own TV Commercial Her number one goal in life is to be a California cow and she is on a mission. You can tell just how important it is to her by the fact that she stuck that Pick Me sign over my apple just as the picture was snapped. Arrghhhh!!!
3. Don't tell Alicia cuz she doesn't want any competition but bring your cows and join us along with Tosh's cows for tea! Oh and one more thing, we are going to have lessons on how to milk a cow! Should be fun yes? No worries Tosh. I'll keep everything under control!
If you want to read the rest of the story, see the teapot as well as the other cards in the teapot parade and join our teaparty, visit my blog.
Vote for Alicia!!!

I love this card; such an inspiration!! Almost makes me wanna vote for Alicia, NOT!! LOL!
It just so happens that Daisy is in PRIME shape. She's a hoofin' heffer and stays in shape. It looks like Alicia is carrying a few extra pounds there, LOL! (Not unlike me!) No, my card was not calling you old, it was calling ME old! LOL!
I love all your funny cards and your wonderful challenges have really brought out the goofy (fun) side of me!! Thanks so much!!!

This is one FABULOUS Alicia the California Cow teapot design!!! Now I must say, Alicia is one adorable little cow, however, she may have some stiff compatition coming from all corners of the US, Canada, UK, and who knows where else. I hope she has some awesome talent up her sleeve like yodeling or cow chip tossing. I know she will get the award for the cutest card in the gallery, for sure!!!!

OMGosh! I just got a chance to check out the happy cow auditions! Tooooo funny! I think Alicia has a great chance at winning, but don't tell all those other cows- they might get mad at me! We certainly don't want any mad cows at the tea party!
Another terrific teapot card and another fun outing for the tea party ladies! Thanks, Cindy

Absolutely delightful, Cindy! Alicia is too cute! I don't know how any of the other cows are going to compete! Love the little outfit and the hat! And of course, the sign! Thanks for the invite to the tea party!

Now, had I known this was a beauty contest, I would have dressed Patsy (named after my Aunt and not because she is big boned, but because she is awfully fond of moo-moos-HA!) up in her finest. She has this little sequined number that really shows off the udders if you know what I mean. I have to go now-- we have got to practice Patsy's baton routine for the talent portion of the contest....

Well Alicia is sure a gorgemous cow! Her CB'd hat and pick me sign are terrific! I sure hope being famous does not go to her head or spoil her milk! I always love your cards!
