What a GREAT excuse to get inky with one of my ALL TIME
favorite "baby" stamp sets, Kisses & Cuddles from Wplus9
Design Studio - Mwahhhh!  {HOW I love Dawn's stamps!}

But why ink up ONE delightful "baby" set, I used the NEWEST
baby set, Onesie Twosie, for the word, baby...  {!} But check out
the adorable ONESIES and coordinating dies!  HELLO!!!

 

I had a SPARKLY good time with the inspiration photo,
 super memorable BLING and yummy materials...
 You won't have to scratch your head too hard, to see how
LITERALLY I was inspired by Vicki's photo...
{It's JUST how I roll! - DER!}

I am SO looking forward to seeing how YOU are inspired!
Remember - this isn't a COLOR inspiration, yet, CLEARLY,
the colors are a large part of it - but this IS a freeing premise!
We WANT to see where the photo takes you, creatively, so
just LET yourself GO!  YEEEE HAAAWWWW!

 These seasonal colors were easy and FUN to craft with.
I went a shade or two subdued, however.  It's a bittersweet
time around Rancho Durenberger, as we are thinking the
end of the road is near for our beloved, Auntie Cow.  She
is still cheerful and content, but is less and less able to stay
on her feet for long.  Husband has had the honor of this dear
gal's company, for OVER thirty years!  That's VERY old
for a cow, even in CALIFORNIA
 - the land of happy cows...

So, subdued use of color was HOW I rolled this week.
(But I REALLY like the results!}

I hope you'll think some good thoughts for our friend.

Although, it's hard to be terribly sad for a cow, who simply 

MUST be the envy of the local cow community - a REVERED 

pet and companion for OVER three decades -

 always free to roam and graze... 

  

~ Her mother was "MamaCow" the namesake of my blog! ~

Yes, my dear friends, a blessed life, she has surely had. 

I will be praying for a peaceful passing, for a 

dignified lady.   She has been a beautiful bovine companion, and

 a satisfying sight in the grassy acres of Rancho Durenberger.  

Have a MOOOOO-ving day, and thank you for letting me 

share her with you!  (YOU are MOOOOOO-va-lous!)

Mwahhhh!
