Okay...so this is my second ever Teapot Tuesday challenge with MotherMark. You can find Mothermark's story here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Here is the story behind my card....
Meet Flatfooted Booby Ruby's cousins-The Prissy Parakeets of The Jungle of No Feet. Yes...you heard me correctly. These poor birds may have looks, but they are sadly feetless! They were so embarrassed about their situation, that they flew from the Galapagos many years ago and took up residency in The Jungle of No Feet. Many people think they are quite prissy and uppity since all they do is sit up in their tree and look down upon everyone else, but really they are just too embarrassed to fly. They don't want anyone to see their feeetlessness.
They have always been secretly envious of Flat Footed Booby Ruby for her enormous feet, her big beak and her big....ummm, well...you can figure that out from her name.
So here is what the Prissy Parakeets from The Jungle of No Feet have to say to Flat Footed Booby Ruby...If you've got it, Flaunt it!
Thanks for letting me come to another fabulous tea party girls! I am off to get a peek at those 42,000 pound turtles! I am also trying earnestly to get the Prissy Parakeets of The Jungle of No Feet to fly on over and join us.

Whoo Hoo! I love it when someone comes back again, it means they weren't skeered off! Snort!
Hey, did you hear? There was a crowd gathering on the bluff over there, all watching some sort of feetless flying birdies called the Prissy Parakeets and it got out of hand, a teapotter fell off the cliff landed in a glass bottom boat, broke clean through and landed in the lap of a very handsome snorkler who saved her from one of the friendly shark whales...It was love at first bite, I mean sight! Whut? You want me to push you? Are you sure? Don't you wanna see the Prissy Parakeets...Oh you brought them! Okay, hold your nose, you know, for when you hit the water! Giggle!
Your card is precious and perfect for this challenge. Got that Ruby? Flaunt those big ole feet! Welcome back....where's the grub????

Well I can see why those Prissy Parakeets stay up in the trees. They don't got no proper landing gear! Now Ruby, she's got great big old landing gear, ugh that's feet, & she wants to cover them up. Something's wrong with that there picture. You've got to convince the Prissy Parakeets to come to the party & talk to that girl.

Yikes! Feetless birdies?? And, yet, they are sooooo CUTE! I don't think a bird should ever be judged by their feet; do you? LOL!!! Great story and cute card, Emily!

Wooooooooooohoooooooooooooo!!
The Prissy Parakeets will surely inspire our flat-footed Ruby! They might even coax Ruby to add to the rest of her wardrobe after she gets a few new pairs of shoes!
