Rudolph the Red Nose Goat?
This is what I saw out my kitchen window this morning - we had a good dusting of snow during the night but the rising sun soon took the snow away.
The sun really travels fast especially when you are trying your best to capture images!
Do you see my sweet goats? In goat talk they are saying "here comes Mama with our treats!"

Thanks for your visit. I do hope you enjoyed my pictures. I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful stamp picturing my babies Flip and Flop. You know I do appreciate your comments!!

Oh my gosh... what a fabulous view! I can see for miles out my kitchen window too but what I see is a checkerboard of grain fields, no trees and most definitely no mountains!
ReplyDeleteWowsa to the cards... Flip and Flop are famous and do make fab cards, don't they. Love that cut-out work on the paper behind them.
Wonderful view Sandy, I would love to waken up to it each morning and Flip and Flop are just gorgeous. Are they a special breed of goat, I've never seen such long ears before?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards with their image, love the little bit of flower hanging from their mouth. Great design, specially that border.
Hope all is well with you and yours, hugs Kate x
I could do with some goats to help me manage the field at the back of our house and yours look gorgeous! I would like to think that we are unlikely to get snow before next winter but the weather here is so unpredictable, you just can't rule it out! Love your view. Hugs, Tracey x
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, love the photos, gorgeous views, and the stars are, of course, your beautiful goats - as photos and as cards. Great idea! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteValerie
What a spectacular view Sandy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnd HOW did you find such an appropriate goat stamp? Amazingly detailed and of course, it really tickles me that you've cleverly turned it into a Christmas image.
Thanks for sharing your cute Rudolph Day goats.
Hugs, Sarn xxx

Ok, first off....love the Christmas cards (perfect!). Secondly, I can't believe you are still seeing snow (though we are too, only our's is the neon-green-very-yucky-runny-nose-watery-eyes kind of snow..wanta trade? well, only for a little bit)
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of your goats Sandy, they are adorable. And a big WOW of the view, it is spectacular. If I look outside my window I only see houses LOL. I almost forgot to say that your Christmas cards are perfect. Great idea to use a goatimage, love it!! Hugs Sylvia
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! Nothing beats those NC mountains at ANY time of the year. Loved your baby goats too. How clever of you to transfer them into Christmas cards. Nice that you could do a card for each baby, and who would ever think to make a goat into a Christmas card. These are uniquely you, and so extremely cute. I am really liking the frontage that decorates each baby, and love that perforated background. TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteNot sure which is cuter, the stamped goat or the real goat.
ReplyDeleteI would love to wake up to that gorgeous view every day Sandy, it's beautiful as are your cards, that goat stamp was a great find xx

A view like yours is a dream vacation! Love the mountains and the trees. Flip and Flop have found a gorgeous home and they are also adorable. A goat Christmas card is so unique and also fabulous! Only you would find a stamp like that or you made it yourself. You're a clever lady!!
ReplyDeleteI woke up to 1 1/2 of snow this morning too. But I'm in PA.
Hugs, Cathy
Lovey cards ! I loved their CAS look specially !
ReplyDeleteI love your cards, so cute with the goat and the goat photos! They are adorable and wow have they grown!! I love the little flowers the goat has in its mouth on your card, so sweet. You live in such beauty lucky lady!

ReplyDeleteOh my Sandy...now that's some view! What a way to start your day :D
ReplyDeleteFlip and Flop! Hilarious and so cute too. I would never imagine that you could purchase a goat stamp...its just perfect.
I'm not sure I could get into Christmas cards as Easter approaches though, but it is an idea because I always run out of time.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend xoxo

Perfect indeed Sandy! Adorable goats and stamp! Thanks for sharing your photos…wow…what a glorious, gorgeous place to live!
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning photos of the snow and the sunrise - and the Flip and Flop look to be thriving under your tender care. What a fabulous stamp, and it really works for a Christmas card - I've come over all "stable all forlorn" - ox and ass and goat included. Love the simple krafty look really letting the stamp shine.
ReplyDeleteAlison xx
Wow, the view from your kitchen window is amazing. It might be enough to encourage me to stay in the kitchen long enough to cook :-). Love your Christmas cards. Those tiny flowers on the stems are perfect.
