We drank from wee little cups and had birdseed bread, and I am still picking those seeds out of my teeth! I have yet to investigate the other party-goers, so I may have to be back with an edit to explain myself (I have to go see if I DID anything first, hee!)
Although this party makes me think of a home visit I did last week for speech! I went to visit a little 4 year old, and before I got to her porch, a rooster greeted me at the door. He was strutting around, and I was terrified! The little girl came to the door, so I said "Go get your Nana!" "I am afraid of the rooster!"...Well, Nana came, and said "Get outta here Dead Eye!"...Thank goodness Nana saved the day because apparently Dead Eye is a fighting rooster, albeit a half blind one now! Never a dull moment in home visit land!

Kelly, I love your card. I love your little house. That ribbon was the perfect embellishment. We used to raise chickens and the roosters would chase my youngest son. The rest of us intimidated them and they would leave us alone, but my son was afraid and would run and then the chasing began.

Super cool little bird house, Kelly, and I love the background...just like a real tree!!!! Next time you will have to bring the rooster along...we may need an alarm clock out in the woods. I am sooo glad there will be ice and I really want indoor plumbing!!!! Don't tell Cindy what a whimp I am...she may not let me come to the next party!!!

Oh, you made it Kelly! What a sweet little bird house. I love the rustic feel of your card. Your background is perfect. And of course, a touch of gingham on your ribbon. Funny rooster story too.... and it wasn't even made up!! (at least I don't think it was LOL)

We are rustic, aren't we! What an amazing background stamp, just love it!
I can't help wondering what was in your tiny cups of tea if you saw Big Bird in my bakery - but at least you didn't see the penguin.

Finally! Holy cow girl! Good thing we tea party from Tuesday to Tuesday or you'd had to clean up all the bird poop on your own! Snort! Your card is so cool. Definately rustic and its fun to see a birdhouse motel will lots of windows. I knew we would getta see new and exciting things on our bird watching trip! Love your card!
I hired raptors to keep the tea partiers in line this week and now that you are here that explains why they are no where to be found! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that my raptors would meet their match, but a one-eyed, dead eye, crazed and outa control rooster just foiled my plan. Our only safe haven is in the birdhouses, Plan B. The bad news is the raptors don't do refunds for their services, the good news is the tea partiers will still have to behave cuz the raptors have been replaced with Old One Eye!!
So glad you made it. I didn't want you to miss the gingham checked table cloths on the picnic tables, even though they are covered with bird poop!

Better late then never I say. Kelly this house is so cool. Love your wood bg. You have to stop with the cool bg stamps. I am going broke! Every time I see a cool one you have used, I just have to have it! Sorry about the seeds in your teeth, sheesh, never know what is going to happen at these parties. At least Mothermark chased off the roosters before you got here. I too, run into some wild things at the houses I go to. One time it was peacocks! Be careful out there! Love your card. Glad you came. TFS :0)
