My very first tea party card!!!!! I was so pleased to be invited to attend the prestigious Mothermark tea party!
I have never been to Ireland and have never been doo-dooed on before either. I would like to give a big round of applause to Sabrina (cook22) for inviting all of us to her amazing santuary, I could use a little R&R (after I remove the doo-doo) and yes, I will be sure to enter through the back as I am afraid that I forgot my hat!!
See you all around the garden!!
-Heather Prince
P.S. Just remember, when in doubt, pinky out!

Welcome to the Party! We have sooo much fun every Tuesday!!
I love your card! The colors, the image the paper, etc. I can go on and on. This set is one of my favorites.
So let me take you by the hand and show you around the party... there is all sorts of crazies going on! Some to watch out for.... Bertie... well, sorta, if you want to have some fun, hang out with her, you will have fun and a little trouble. You will see, some partiers take the high road, then there others of us that just run with it!

Heather, you made it! YEAHHHH!!!
Ok, so isn't Maureen the sweetest to take you by the hand to show you around and steer clear of danger? Me thinks so!
So a couple of warnings ... watch out for Peggy, she's just a whole bunch of trouble today. You might want to look for Shirley ... since you are hatless, she has the pooh repellent.
There is rumor that Sabrina might have baked a cake, but it's unconfirmed. I'm voting yes and that it's chocolate.
Oh my, pardon my manners. Have you had a cup of tea yet?
I'm just so excited that you are here that I forgot my manners there for a moment ...
Fantabulous card, girlfriend! So glad you were able to play today!

Such a pretty card! So glad you found the pearls in the oysters! They just set your card off beautifully! I love olive and red, and your use of white is just perfect!
{This is my 3rd tea party, and I feel at ease enough to say} Welcome, Princess Heather!

So beautiful with the sparkly rose, pearls and the lovely layout!
It was such a surprise to see a neighborhood gal at the party! So sorry you have come to the back gate! Those same birds got me! I think they followed the plane from my old hood!

I think we'll have to put you sitting at the table in the Rose Garden, with that lovely card. You waited to be invited to the party - my oh my. Let me warn you, manners won't last long in this crowd, you've just got to dive right in and help yourself. Some of us are quite well-behaved, but I fear we are in the minority.

Hi Heather! Welcome!!! Its about time we had a Princess in the group! You are not related to the Queen are you? We are still laying low from our encounter at Windsor Castle!
OMG! Your first tea party and you came all the way to Ireland! You go girl! A Mothermark tea party might look prestigious on the outside looking in, but you are an insider now and you will soon find out what really happens. Oh, and don't worry about the back door thing....its really no big deal. Most of the girls usually have to come in the back door, but not me! I never do! Snort!
By the way, you look fabulous in doo-doo....now come on follow me, I will show you where you can clean up a little from your trip! Snort! And we will find you a hat since you are a first timer. Naw, the other tea partiers won't miss their hats, they are drinking TEA!!!
Your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love the classy look to it, the sparkle, the awesome layering and the wonderful embellishments! So glad you came! Have fun!!!

Hi Heather. I am so glad you came to the party. It is crazy here. Life within this party gets wild. I hope you are ready. A princess may get treated a bit differently. I do know your card is adorable. Great layers and I love this paper and stamp set. Super job.

Gosh what a pretty card! It is so nice to have you at the tea party , that means I am no longer the new kid on the block. We travel all over the world, but I have found this is a bit of a rowdy bunch and the tea is more often spiked than not. Or maybe these folks just get high on their staz-on.
Watch out these tea party challenges are addictive. I found myself wanting to stay up till midnight on Monday night just to see where we were going. Then I realized I am in eastern time zone and mothermark is in Colorado so I would have to stay up till 2 am to hit midnight mountain time. The things we do for inspiration!
