Well, Well, Well, I guess you didn't know that the dinosaurs are still locals in Dublin did you? Yep, they sure are. And they love to Roam the gardens and hit a tea party now and then. But because they wanted to go in the "front" door, they wore their pretty Party hats. Their Trio wouldn't be complete without their ancient flying friend, a close relative to the dove. She has been known to drop a poop here and there in the garden on the guests.....
Isn't this another fun week at the tea party?? I just LOVE Dublin! I was there once 10 years ago last month (it was an early honeymoon). I can't say enough about the IRISH! (I guess I am a bit biased being 100% Irish myself!). It was a strange/ comforting feeling being around people that all looked similar to me! (Dark hair, blue eyes and freckles!) So I was more than Happy to cross the pond again this week! In fact, I was extremely frustrated today, as normally I am off on Tuesdays, but today I had to go to work for an important meeting. While in this meeting talking about a million dollar deal, I was checking my blackberry to see where we were going for the tea party this week! (don't tell my DH, we work together and were in the meeting together, he would die if he know that was why I was checking my bb! LOL) As soon as I got out of the meeting I called my MOM, yellobug 60, to find out about the tea party, as I never got the email this week :o(. She brought me up to speed right away... then I had to cook dinner, bathe the kids, you know the drill... until I could get to my card this week! Yikes!
Thanks everyone for joining me in Hershey last week! What a blast!

Oh, goodness, this is outstanding! LOL! You had me at these guys wearing their party hats to get in the front door ... but the close relative of the dove had me on the floor!
This is just fantastic! Love all of it, especially the big guy's eye peeking through the grass just sends me over the edge. Such perfect scale.
I never thought I'd hear myself saying that a dino card was beautiful, but you've gone and done it now!
Hey, and thanks so much for the offer for some Guiness ... I was just trying to figure out where Sabrina stashed the Merlot!
Watch out for Peggy, she's a little wobbly today what with cruising the sewers and tripping up Mothermark ...

Gee, Maureen. I was beginning to worry about you since you hadn't shown up to the tea party yet. I was askeered that maybe you were still swimming in the Lake of Chocolate in Hershey.
Your dinosaurs wearing their party hearts are so cute, but I must admit the one lurking in the weeds in pretty skeery with that big ol one eye. And I didn't know the dove descended from the pterodactyl. I guess my grandpa was right when he told me that you learn something new every day!
I'm glad you persevered and made this darling card and showed up at the party! Oh, and if Peggy offers you chocolate, you should know she's been hanging in the sewer today with Vincent.

Hey! Your blackberry mis-communicated! We didn't say Jurasic Park, we said Dublin, Ireland! Snort! I love this fun card and hey, I have never been one to turn someone away from a tea party! Even your scary Jurasic critters are welcome, we will just have to keep an eye on your birdie.....I don't think a hat will help!!
Glad you made it home safe and sound from Hershey Park. WE have a blast crashing your vacation! Hee! I got a kick out of your comments.....what dh doesn't know won't hurt him! Snort! Glad your Mom had *the story* for you! I would not have wanted to miss this fun card!
You and your mom might want to try resubscribing to my blog. Don't know why you would not be getting the email!
And yes, I tripped over Peggy's head cuz it was camoflaged like a pile of bontancial flowers! Snort! Thanks for coming Maureen......aww...phooey on those old meetings!!!

Is that a Tea-rannasaurus and a Tea-rodactyl???? I'm a little wary of that one hiding in the bushes though!!! He might just jump on someone if they're not careful.
Love the card! It is so creative and a wonderful addition to the teapot gallery this week!

I AM COVERED IN DINO DOO-DOO!! I shamelessly left my hat at home although I am afraid it would not have done me any good as I nearly suffocated under there had my dear dear friend the Divine Miss M not heard my desperate pleas for help and so heroically pulled me from the pile o' poo!
I may need to borrow an outfit as I now reek of poo and am not fit to attend such a prestigious party in this tragic state!
I love your card, it is way too cute and very clever!!

Dinosaurs - are you sure you didn't go to the Natural History Museum by mistake, instead of the Botanic Gardens? No, maybe not - those flowers are pretty fresh and modern looking.
These are meant to be unlicenced premises, but I still have several bottles of Guinness left from my Christmas present from work, so just nip into the house quietly and help yourself. Just don't share it with the dinos, OK?
