How about a little more Farmgirl Betty inspiration!
When I showed Alan this card, he said "why is her hair blue?" That made me giggle!
So, a 2li23ttle off top2.i4c ... but hav3e2 2you 0ev0e00r. tr5ied 5t+o+ +ty5pe3 .with a chic6k+en standi2n2g22 next to..3666you6r6 keybo3a.rd? No? Well, l2e2t me 3t333ell y56ou, it gets0 i0nteresting.
Here is how that sentence should have read: So, a little off topic ... but have you ever tried to type with a chicken standing next to your keyboard? No? Well, let me tell you, it gets interesting.
She types nearly as fast as me, but she favors the number keypad.
Cricket has something she wants to type to you, all on her own:
655116666956112220000...033333233330012+++++56++2100/6616
Whatever that means... It must be good!
Anyway, back to Betty! I love her little chickies!
I decorated the inside of the card too! It's a great way to use up scraps.
Well, it's bedtime for this farmgirl. Sweet dreams!
Loved the blog with your chicken - very cute and glad to see she's part of the family! She's one lucky chick!

I love you comfort conscious Betty in her Birkenstocks, Anna!! Adorable. Beautifully colored and those are the cutest little chickies, but they will have a hard time competing for "cuteness quotient" with the talented typist Cricket. (my uncle had a toy poodle named Cricket so I have to switch my mental visual a bit!!:)

Hahaha, I needed a laugh today! Cricket is quite the typist, I see! How adorable. I've never had help from a chick, only a kitty! I do like Cricket's message!
Your farmgirl is adorable. Love your new sets! They are amazing, as always. Thanks for the great cards~!

I love your new releases, Anna, and I thought the same as Dotty about the "isn't it amazing how our minds work" kind of test :) .
I had to laugh when I read about it though because yesterday one of my cats could smell something interesting on my fingers and was sniffing each one as I was typing -- it was very tricky to type with a whiskered little face bobbing up and down on my fingers!

I think Farmgirl Betty took a trip to the beautician and became Punk Farmgirl Betty. :)

Tooo-Toooo cute, I think I need a chicken in my classroom...

Hee Hee, Cricket the "chick" is quite talented. - Me I have cats who sometimes paw across the keyboard.
Farmergirl Betty is charming. I think it's that silver/blue hair tone lots of older women have that she's sporting.

Betty is so sweet. Alan cracks me up, but not quite as much as your typing chick! Thanks for the smiles.

Well, little old ladies have been known to dye their hair blue...and I do love the chicks...especially Cricket. She's really growing up - knows how to type already! Wow!!! XOXO

Adorable card and I love the chicken typing! So funny that my mom had a bird named Cricket. I think that's so cute!

Cricket is trying to tell you that she sneaks out at night to be the "Lotto-chick."

very cute! my favourite part of the post was the typing! Fun!

Hi Cricket! Is she still your house chicken? Cute, cute card! Love your new releases!
Posted by: Kathy Martin | October 18, 2011 at 04:52 AM
I think Betty is either gray or platinum blonde, not blue! Love the tea died ribbon.
Cricket is one lucky chick! Her typing skills are nearly as good as mine! LOL.Have a terrific Tuesday, hugs...

Could she be giving out her contact information? tee hee!
Posted by: Dotty | October 17, 2011 at 10:52 PM
That's so funny!! At first I thought it was one of those sentences that test your reading skills when words are incorrectly spelled or letters are missing altogether. I could still read it (oooh, what does that say about me? I can read chicken?)
I think she's telling us "This is the best farm on the planet and I have the best human parents ever ~ I'm one lucky little chick!!"
