I thought I'd better post another paper craft project before those of you who read my blog purely for the crafty projects leave me high and dry!
Alan has been out of town for the past couple of nights attending a seminar. Having Alan gone means I have lots of extra things to do, that he normally does. But I still managed to squeeze in a few minutes last night to make this card.
This medicine man is one of the recently newly released images from High Hopes Stamps. I have to tell you ... this image CRACKS me UP! I wrote in the "ooooogaa!" sentiment after the image was painted.
Yesterday, after all the baby chickens hatched and I tended to all the critters, I felt kind of like a medicine woman. And not having anyone else here to talk to, ooooogaa is all I really needed to say.
Happy Friday!
Just loved the card -- and I read all of your verbiage. I always wanted to live on a farm so I'm living vicariously through your blog! Incidently, how are Dixie and baby doing?

Oh, is he a character!! The ooooogaa is an absolute "hit the nail on the head" sentiment, lol. It goes without saying that your coloring is out of the world. TFS.

Love the card! I just got this image and had a blast making my first card with it! Too funny! Understand the extra chores thing too. When hubby is out of town I have to take over his feedings... why is it that he does it is 30minutes... and it takes me over about an hour? I think I talk to the donkeys too much.

Your cards are indeed wonderful and I do look forward to them. But your photography is also just as beautiful. Your life, animals, cards -I love reading about all of it! And who can resist baby animals??? :)

Hi Anna.....
You can ALWAYS talk to us!! I love this card....I'll have to go visit that site.
Wow.....you must be super busy with all the babies being born on the farm. We have a finch nest right outside of our frontroom window....that's the closest this "City Girl" will get to hatchin'. You are really educating me though.....I told Doug we will definately have to go to the County Fair this year.
Thanks for all you do.....I love reading your News...
Hugs,
Vicky~~

Although I originally *LOVED* your blog for all your craftiness, I have to say that I sooooo look forward to all the farm stories and animal stories. I find myself checking your blog first and several times throughout the day to be sure I'm not missing anything. I'm enjoying living vicariously through your posts. Thank you so much for sharing!!

I love the little guy. It is nice to see a stamp completely different from what is available.
Reading about your farm brings back memories that I hadn't thought of in years.

LOVE it... you have the cutest stamps!

First of all, I am a card/papercraft kind of person and I love your blog. I am such a city girl that I just get a kick out of some of the things you have to do -- like watch the size of a cow's udder so it doesn't explode or what ever -- never knew that to be. Now I know. I'll be on those udders like glue, if I ever see another one. Now for the medicine man. I love him! I think I have to have him. I have had myself on a purchasing sabbatical, but he might entice me. Probably depends how long I think about him and how late I stay up. I find I do my best stamp shopping in the wee hours when I should be sleeping! Love your card!

I read ALL of your posts and I LOVE the photos you share as well as the adorable cards you create! It's all oooga good! ;)
Posted by: Carol | May 02, 2008 at 12:07 PM
DELIGHTFUL!!! Can I come and sit at your feet and watch how you do this????? This guy is just tooo funny and your added ooogaa is hilarious and makes the whole card. As always your painting technique is second to none - I'm a groupie!
