Made this for MM tea party today that is being held at Hershey Park. One thing that improves tea, is chocolate. I, personally believe it improves just about everything. So far, things are pretty calm at this tea party, but Shirmcat hasn't arrived yet. We will see what happens once she gets here.

Shirley, I love the dp that you used for the base of your card. It has such a vintage feel. I love the ribbon and the little doodling that you did on the platter. I think you are right that chocolate improves almost anything. The only thing it doesn't improve is my weight!!

Hi Shirt! Did you see how wonderful my little teapot night light looks in my square thingy with two holes in it that lights things up, makes things go and fries people when the stick there fingers in it? If you don't know what I am talking about, ask Tig! He will! Snort!
I love this soft and feminine card! I hope that Kelly doesn't sit on it or get gingham checks all over it as it would ruin the vintage feel! This reminds me of my actual little girls teapot set I had growing up! Hey, I wonder where that thing is?? Wonder if mom has it. Oops sorry, off on a tangent!
Thanks for coming Shirt! I was hoping you would and I knew if you did you would bring an awesome card! You never dissappoint! Thanks for lighting me up! Snort!

What a perfect floral teapot. I love the little violets, I always think they are so dainty and pretty. And of course, there are so many shrinking violet ladies at the tea-party, aren't there! Love the great way you've tied the ribbon too, and the paper which would make lovely wallpaper for a genteel Olde Tea Shoppe.

Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!
Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!
Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!
C'mon stink!
You got it!
It's dead, it's in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven!
All over the road, technicolor man!
Oh, you got pollution
It's dead, it's in the middle
And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven

Whoooooo-wheeeee! Ya got MariLynn singin' at the party, ShirttheSquirt! I don't quite understand why she's singin' about dead skunks, but me thinks it's probably sumpin' you started. Snort!
Your card is so lovely and so pretty! The white doodling on the oval is a nice accent.

The china looks like it is very expensive! Either it is a family heirloom or you ran across a good garage sale. I bet it will even look better with some chocolate dessert. The vintage paper is a perfect bkgrd.

I'm Here I'm Here! But my card is still lost in England some where, but hopefully it'll arrive soon. I promise to be very very....something, hee! I know for sure that when there is a Featured NOTpot things can get out of hand at my craft area! This is sooo lovely and dainty! Did you steal it from the Queen? It looks like one of the sets I saw in her cabinet last week, but maybe you just bought a knock-off at the gift shop! ANNND I haven't seen MUTNIK yet, and she is the one that causes TROUBLE (granny panty thong, there I said it AGAIN!)
