In Search of a Cow

Yeah, you read that right I am looking for a cow and not just any cow mind you, it needs to be a special cow. I am SO lucky to have a patient husband because for the last two days he has been hearing me whine about how impossible it is to find this particular cow and nothing should be this hard and how I don’t know where else to look for it.

By now you’re probably wondering a.)Why do I need a cow? And b.)What kind of cow do I need? Let’s answer “a” first. A few days ago Dennis and I went to this neat little shop in Sheboygan, Stones ’n Water, and I found this neat journal. It’s 6x9 and handmade by Lisa Richey of Cheap Therapy. . .handcrafted paper art that celebrates life and she has MS (my younger cousin has MS). It’s really neat that in the back of the book is a special hand written note, “I found the stick that binds this book in Savannah, GA. I love finding sticks!” There is wire holding some little beads on the stick and the green cover behind the stick makes me feel like I’m in the woods. I knew what I was going to use this book for the moment I saw it. So now you are also wondering c.)What am I going to use the book for?

What kind of cow do I need? I don’t think my neighbors would appreciate me bringing home a live cow, although it might be fun. What I want is a cute little - 2-3 inch - chubby metal cow. I want his back side flat so I can attach it to the cover of my new book.  All I can find are itty bitty 1 inch or smaller realistic flat sticker cows.

I got my first moo minicards and have been swapping some of them. I wanted a neat book to put the minimoo's in and this book is perfect. I just need the cow now. Cow - moo cards. . .
