I've been noticing all the fun at MotherMark's Tea Party and didn't want to miss out so I'm joining in today. Today's full story: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Abner, the abdominable snowman wasn't very happy when Shaun White showed up to secretly train for the Olympics on his territory. Shaun wanted to make him happy by giving him snowboarding lessons but Abner said no. No, to anything revolving around white because that is all that is in his life...white snow, white everything, everywhere.
The Tea Party group decided to try to help Shaun bring a splash of color into Abner's life so he would be happy and let Shaun go on with his training.
I thought we could carry this little bird, flower, and a pod full of millions of flower seeds. The bird can scatter the seeds around and in a few days there will be a meadow of red flowers for Abner. He will be smiling from ear to ear and Shaun can go ahead with his training and everyone will be happy.
The little bird is a bit afraid of Abner and is giving him a friendly hi but hoping he doesn't step on him with his big feet.
You girls can go ahead and do the Loop-de-Loop without me. That is a bit dangerous. Several years ago I broke my right leg, left foot, and right wrist just walking around my patio. Yes, it's true!! So, you can imagine what would happen if I tried that.
Maybe I can just go along and watch. Congrats to anyone that gets that yummy, hot soup.

Right now we're in a red row . I love your poppy - and all the poppy seeds. You'll soon find out that 42,000 is the BIG number here, so my bet is that if anyone counts those seeds they'll find 42,000.
Love your bright colours - it's so grey here, and trying to snow.
Did I read that your DH is Irish, Irish descent?

Don't be looking for Mothermark today! She thought she could handle some triple twist loop-de-loop 360 quad toe pick action and ended up in traction! She asked me to fill in since I have been training for the Evian Water Babies Roller Blade team!
Whoa you are here! I been hearing on the halfpipe that you came to the teaparty and I am thrilled to meet the star of *The Agony of Defeat* from the Patio Olympics of 2006! You recovered quite nicely and its comforting to know in this dangerous sport, someone can bounce back!
Oh yah, Mothermark wanted me to tell you that she hopes the red flowers bloom to their hearts desire and that this little birdie loop-de-loops into Abner's circle of closest friends! She just loves happy endings and your card!! Gotta go...I am up! Hey get that birdie outa my line!

With this fab card, you can do more than watch! We will let you have the biggest hot bowl of soup, and some of Pat Smethers's yummy cake for dessert. In view of your past history, you may NOT go anywhere near the half pipe. It's sitting in the cabin by the fireplace and some hot buttered....er...tea for you! The RED makes my heart SING!!!!!

You fit right into the Teapot Party theme Benz. I truly wish I had time to join in all the fun you guys have! I'm not up to that challenge at this point yet, but there's always tomorrow. Not only did you make a BEAUTIFUL card, you had a good storyline to go with it. I do have to say that you are reminding me of our defective detective Debzi when it comes to bone injuries. Not something I would be too proud of!! LOL!!! Your coloring is beautiful and I LOVE the scoring too. Great job as always Benz!! Hugz - The Fruitcake/Fruitflake!!

What a darling card and story! I am betting there is 42,000 seeds in there! I am tickled pink (or maybe red) that you joined in on our shennanigans!! I love the scoring on your card but that bluebird is priceless!!! TFS!!
