ItÂ’s a good thing that bugs are welcome to the chocolate tea party in Hershey this week. My cute little guys wanna go to it. They are so drawn to the light that is being displayed there, AND the ultimate snake charmer has lured them into thinking they need chocolate. What? You wanna know who the ultimate snake charmer is? Why itÂ’s da Muddermark, of course. You see, yesterday her boa constrictor got loose and ate her ovals, so she claims. Yeah, I know. DoesnÂ’t make sense. You gotta read the story on her blog to (somewhat) understand it. SheÂ’s such a charmer. Anywhoooo, Muddermark had to pull out her lute to get her boa back under control. My cute caterpillars were inching along their merry way when they heard her music and were charmed by it. The music she was playing was:
I saw the light, Lord, I saw the light,
no more darkness, no more night;
if you want some chocolate, follow me tonightÂ…
I saw the light, Lord, I saw the light!
SheÂ’s like the Pied Piper just luring people and bugs alike to her tea party in Hershey. I guess a few of the gals have gotten a little rowdy swimming in the chocolate. I and the caterpillars are looking forward to the chocolate!
I thought about using my wavy crimper to simulate the wavy bg in the inspiration teapot, but decided to use this Cuttlebug embossing border folder instead. My caterpillars are taking a supply of ovals to Muddermark so she can get them on her card and be in compliance with challenge requirements.
The items at the top of my card are the SU flower punch cut in half with earth elements brads.
I hope you can come to the tea party. Check out Mothermark's blog for the details:
HereÂ’s an interesting bit of news. Last week we were at Windsor Castle for our weekly tea party. Today, I heard on the news that the Queen is asking her loyal subjects to donate money to her budget for renovations to Buckingham Palace. I think the wax was outta my ears when I heard them say $66 million was needed! Jeesh! I wish I had some loyal subjects.

Hope they don't fall in the chocolate! .......hmmmm chocolate covered worms? NOT! That Cindy, she can draw just about anyone to a party. Such a charmer that girl. Just what is this Hershey Park? A place full of chocolate. Is that safe for the likes of us? We tend to get a little rowdy. BUT if someone *Kelly* was to start tossing chocolate around, now that might be fun!!! Love your cute card with the wavy lines on it. Looking forward to some fun once again. TFS :0) Wait, aren't you the one tossing sushi around at one of these parties? or were you just spiking the tea that day? hmmm

This is too cute, Charlene! So is your story! Love the wavy background and the squirmy bugs! Very creative indeed! I hope the Queen didn't need renovations because of our visit!

OMG Charlene, I was so confused! But one trip to Mothermark's Glob and everything is clear, of course! Your caterpillars are sooo sweet! And I don't mean that in a cute way, like in a TASTY way...I heard Cathy dipped them in chocolate! She was very very hungry waiting in line for the rollercoaster. It's a fun one, I've been to Hershey PA! She tried to eat one of her light bulb bees and burnt her tastebuds, me thinks! So since you have 3 little guys left, tell them to hide quick! They are too cute to turn up missing!

Wavy worms and a juicy story. Doesn't get any better than that. Glad Cindy isn't asking us to donate to renovating her kitchen or such. Bet your three little guys (or are they girls or asexual?) will be cased often. Just hope they don't all show up at some future tea party.

Hi Bertie! Glad you are here! Hey, have you seen my boa? I didn't realize he got in the car with me and snuck into Hershey Park. If he gets a hold of more chocolate we are in big trouble! Chocolate makes him rowdy! His new ovals might just calm him down if we can find him! Snort!
You my friend are nuttier than me and that is just plain nutty! You card is such a crack up, can't believe you brought worms to our teaparty! Its precious and the do look like the are dancing to music! Good thing you didn't bring worms to the castle last week! Oh! One more thing, shhh...don't admit we were there last week. Some of that damage just might be a result of our tea party! Shhhh......

I saw these wormies and thought, oh my gosh, who put the worms in chocolate. Well, I see they aren't there yet, but my guess is that these will be chocolate worms before the day is done. Cute card, love the embossing folder an the fence, even the worms are cute.
