Curt has been on hiatus for awhile. When he read the story of the spotless Duke, he hopped to his hoofs and mooed aloud, “I have got to help that little guy!”. So here’s what happened next…..... in case you are confused go here for the complete story......
To back up a tad, Curt knows all too well what it’s like to grow up “spot”-less. You see, he too was born without spots. He ended up carrying around an umbrella so he could hide from his friends. Finally his mom took some sewing lessons from Anne Ryan and they came up with just a darling and well fitted jacket that had just the perfect spots on it. Finally Curt felt normal….or did he? hmmmm
Now that Curt is older and wiser and doesnÂ’t give a hoot what others think, he has decided to be himself, whatever that maybe. So he had Miss Anne of Ryan alter the jacket for Duke, since his mom is getting up in age and canÂ’t see well. Then he will give it to him in hopes that one day he too will realize that itÂ’s whatÂ’s on the inside that counts!.....at least that was what my dad always said. I thought maybe he said that because I was ugly or something and he was just trying to make me feel good. hehe Who knows!
So Duke, wear these spots well, get that job and enjoy life. Curt is Â…Â…and in stripes to boot! hehe
Gotta love Tuesdays! Â…..stamps from CDS, coloring with copics.
Thanks for stopping by!......TFL :0)

Another one I saw, but did not take the time to comment on, sorry! I love this one! Love the black and white with the baja breeze and creamy caramel and on the razzleberry! Who knew these colors would look so AWESOME together? Love all the polka dots too! Not sure about the whole "Curt" story, but I know he pops up on your cards on occasion and I love reading your photo details!

I have been wondering where that boy was! I am glad you found him and brought him to the party - I have been wanting to get a few of those necklaces - can he make me one in black and white? I had no idea about Curt and his spots - he looks so different every time I see him, I figured something was up.....
