Now I have nothing against Holsteins. They are perfectly wonderful cows, but I saw a little discrimination going on. Who says all happy cows are Holsteins? I went to the link that Cindy had for Alicia. I looked at all the other cow auditions. They were all Holsteins. So I decided to bring a Guernsey!!
This is Miss Marla. She was walking in the pasture yesterday and saw an outhouse with graffiti about MOTHERMARK's teaparties. So imagine her suprise when she logged on to her computer and saw what today's teaparty was. She thought that the cows in the competition were a little boring and lacking the talent area, accept for Serena. Now the midwest farm that she has been living on was just outside of a little farm town. The only resturant in town was an old fashioned diner.(You know the ones with the carhops on roller skates and jukeboxes.) That is where Marla learned how to skate. So if you would please. VOTE FOR MARLA!!!!
The only cow stamp I have is smaller than 1" so I decided to draw Marla. After I drew her I added rollerskates because this morning my boys were watching Curious George on PBS and George was rollerskating. After the skates, I knew Marla needed a complete outfit. I just had to draw a jukebox to go with her outfit. The hills on my card are 3-d with foam dimensionals between each layer. Marla and the jukebox are also on dimensionals. I finished the card off with little music notes. What song do you think is being played on the jukebox?

Hi Marilynn....Well, I can tell you one thing...Marla must be close to Tosh's house cuz Tosh loves out houses! Snort! There was grafitti in there??? About Me???? Yikes!
All I can say is Marla better have big ole black spots under that pretty in pink little uni cuz me thinks without the spots she doesn't have a shot! Although, she does look like she might know a thing or two about how to milk a cow...Snort!
You are the queen of drawing what you need....as well as being Ms McGyver once again! Your rocked your jukebox and your cow! And the Hills are alive with Music! (Oh my, we might have to do a Sound of Music teaparty!) You rocked this challenge. This card have me giggling!

Oh MariLynn, thanks for the smile you've brought to my face with your uber-talented skating cow and her fantastic jukebox. Put on some happy music, there, Marla.
I have a soft spot for Guernseys, because I worked there for a while. But shhh, don't tell Marla that actually I prefer Jersey milk. It was always what we had from the milkman, growing up, but I also worked somewhere where they had a Jersey herd, and I used to get it delivered in the mornings fresh from the cows.

I hope we can vote for more than one cow because this one is stylin'. I do agree with Mothermark, however, and I think spots are a big plus (at least all the california cows on the commercials have spots). She does have a chance though with all that talent - plus she is just plan pretty!
Great job and thanks for bringing the music to the teaparty.

Well, isn't Marla lookin' mighty purty in her pink outfit and what talent she has for roller skatin to the tunes! I bet she does line dancin' with the other cows, huh? I sense some real competition here for Alicia. I think Guernsey cows have the most beautiful, softest brown eyes, too.
What another fabulous job you did drawing your images, MariLynn! Marla is moovelous, fer sure!
