Da Muddermark has us traveling to an apple orchard today in Rockingham County today to help save Annie Mae Appleseed (a direct descendant of Johnny). Annie is a professional apple picker and it seems she's bein' picked on by some of the other [bad] apple pickers who resent her new ways and the beaucoup bucks she's makin' over them! You can git all the deets here:
Bertie is on her way with apple martinis to help out the Apple Dumplin' gang to save Annie Mae (who, by the way, has promised Bertie and her tea party pals a bit of cashola for stampin' supplies! Woot!). Some of ya might want to wear protective head gear in case the shennanigans resort to bad apple flingin'. My friend, Maxie, is gonna be there, too, and she use to be a professional baseball pitcher, so beware!
Hey! Ya wanna know how you make a bad apple turnover? Push it down hill!!!! Bwa-haaa-haaa-haaa!

Gorgeous buttons, gorgeous summer scene. Our snow has turned to slush, the sky is grey, it's raining - what a treat to come along to the orchard. Complete with hard hat. Not sure that I'm so much worried about the bad apples - after all, at least they will be a bit softer, even mushy. It's the hard green unripe ones I wouldn't like to be in the line of!

Bertie.....I don't think that is how you spell boo-koo.....but now that I think about it.....maybe it is, you DO know how to spell dolphins, you know those things you get when you laugh! Snort!
I have to think of a comment where I can use my new knowledge.......here it is....
Do you think those three apples under your tree fell off cuz they were long of tooth? Whisper: That means old, rotten, riper that ripe, disgustingly soft and haggered! Who says you can't get educated at a teaparty???
This card rocks, it reminds me of Kitty....but also of you because youdo Kitty good! Love this fun card! I am so impressed by the fact that all you all are making cards you can USE!

Your beautiful scene reminded me of a poem I used to teach the kdg. children about three red apples hanging in a tree... At the end they had to shake the tree as hard as they could. Down came the apples, umm were they good! But I digress. Like all the embellishments and details you have added.
