I apologize in advance that this tale will take two pictures to explain.....its been a long year and da' Man has been busy ropin', ridin' and do-in da Man things! It's late and he is headed home to Mrs. West (This is in the other post)...he always knows when he is close to home, see-in he has to pass the Bloom's Ranch to get to his property. One for sure way to know this is that as he gets close to Miss Bloom's place lovely wild red flowers grow in patches, she has a green thumb that no one can match. As the smell of the blooms waft through the air he steps a little faster, knowin' he will be home soon!!!
Ah yes,I was inspired by the lady herself as this creation formed in my head, notice not only the blooms, but the Floral Oval die and Cottage Cutz Trees (for those I call her an enabler).
I need to say that no copic's were harmed while making this, BUT my stamp room is a disaster!!!!

Lordy, Cowgirl, as if the front of this box was not enough to make my heart leap - you did it all the way around and brought a story to go with it!! Yep, Miss Blooms lovely flower beds would catch anyone's eye. Green thumb she has, yes she does!!
I am positive she is delighted with this whole story you told and the box is just plain AMAZING - every INCH!!! The trees, the signpost out in front of the Blooms Ranch, the flower beds, and Da Man!!!! It just keeps getting better!!
Thanks for sharing your extreme box building talents with us. We're beholdin' to ya'!! LYMI - Big Hugs!

I betcha that Bloom lady is hiding behind the entrance sign just waiting for him to ride by....one of these days she is gonna be brave enough to throw her pretty red flowers by the wayside and nab herself a pretty red scarf with a cowboy attached to it. And you thought she was gardening! Ha! It's what is in her heart, no silly, not the gardening, the cowboy! Snort! This rocks....I love the Blooms in a Box connectioin.......Hmm.....wonder what's in the box? Giggle!
