we're still waiting...

Dixie STILL hasn't had her calf. She's teasing us! I think she's waiting for the full moon...

All these days and nights thinking about baby cows is to blame for this card.

I'm being EXTRA hopeful that when Dixie finally does have her calf that it's a little heifer, and not a bull calf. If she has a bull calf, he'll eventually (once he's old enough) be sold to another small farm looking for a bull for breeding. But if she has a little heifer, she'll get to stay here with us and be part of our herd! That is our hope. Until Dixie decides to buckle down and have the baby, all we can do is cross our fingers.

The images on this card are all by Amuse. I stamped them in black StazOn ink and painted them with a water brush and Stampin' Up reinkers. I added little blossoms to the tree with various pink Copic markers.

Hurry, Dixie.... HURRY!

Cute card, can't wait like you, to see the cute calf. Love the commented pictures of Dixie too. Who would have thought Southern California is waiting for a Texas birth?

I like the varied stitching around the image and how you colored the tree to match the background paper.

Very cute card! Your background paper looks like calico fabric! I love the blossoms on the tree!

[Novell]

Oh, my! So sweet! Goodluck Dixie!

I think Dixie's calf must be a boy. He is
being stubborn and so male and has to do it
his way. LOL

That's adorable, Anna - and so fresh for spring. Believe it or not, we actually have some pink flowers BARELY starting to open up and bloom on some trees and bushes in N. Idaho! Yay!!! Go, Dixie, GO!!! Love, JeanneH xo

I can't believe how excited I am over the birth of a cow! I am hoping for a girl too! Dixie's baby can call me MaMaw too! :=)

I have always heard a ride over the railroad tracks will put ya into labor! Get Dixie loaded up in a trailer and get!

Well Dixie does like drama! Love the card, that is one of my favorite pattern papers I hoard it. Cute card!

How adorable! I really love that background paper and those "blooms" you added to the tree.

[Angie]

Poor Dixie! I wonder if she's just waiting because she loves all the extra attention she's getting? LOL! Great card, I love the spring-y tree!

Hey Anna,

I created my own blog finally. Check it out when you have time. I'm still waiting to hear about Dixie too!

[kerry davis]

I love that b/g paper! It's so delicate and girlie -- and it makes the blooms on the tree really stand out. I have been thinking of Dixie every day...hmm, full moon is a possibility. Especially if she's anything like YOU! ;-)
Enjoy your weekend,
Kerry
