I Could Be In Big Trouble Today!



Maybe I took things too far today. Let's start with the fact that this is for the Color Challenge... Bermuda Bay, Celery, Hunter, Neutral (cocoa), and Pink (not cardstock).

The story of this card is set into motion by Mothermark (Cindy) who is back entertaining us with Teapot Tuesday. Here goes.....

We will be having tea in Dodge City at the Longbranch Saloon. Then again, it may not be tea, you know what I mean??? Miss Kitty is tired of waiting for Marshall Matt Dillon, so we are to fix her up with a new guy who would be to her liking. I found this rough and tumble cowboy who I think is just perfect. (Thanks Pat Smethers!) He works from sunup to sundown, takes evenings off (!), and is VERY sensitive. You can tell that by his pink neckerchief. Only a big tough guy can get away with wearing pink. (My DH is 6'4", 270#, and wears pink shirts. We tell him he's pretty in pink!) Back to the story. This guy works on the range during the day, but comes home every night. Just the kind of guy Kitty needs. He's even good with rope. OOPS! Did I say that out loud????? Anyway, I like this guy, and think he's perfect. Do you think this puts me at the top of the Naughty List??? Have a fun day, and check to see what the other teapartiers do with the story!!
