This week, Ginger decided to make the trip to Ireland as she has always wanted to see the Emerald Isles. She was a little late to the party, and unfortunately, the jet lag got to her and she was out like a light after a few sips of tea. She was so glad she had brought a large hat as suggested by Mothermark - it protected her from the birds and their business but also from the sun (she got an awful burn at Hershey's park last week after that really long "nap").

That birdie is thinking...is there someone under that big ole hat! Darn, how am I gonna get my business under that hat! Snort! I know Ginger loves to travel so I am glad she made the trip! Yes, we are still partying and Ginger will be quite at home since alot of the others are napping too....well, at least I think they are napping! Giggle!
Your card is so precious! The birdie poppin out reminds me of a cuckoo clock....cuckoo, cuckoo! And I love how the butterfly is flitting around above the birdie wondering what its next move is! Wonderful gorgeous colors!
There is never *late* there is only tea whenever you get here! Thanks so much for the link and I am so happy you made the trip....Ginger looks good in Ireland!!!

Ohhhh do I love this card. It is just so pretty. There is so much to see on it and yet it all goes together perfectly. That would be a card I would leave out on my coffee table to enjoy with coffee. Oops, TEA of course.

OMGosh is this ever darling. I love what you did with your bird. creative genius at it's best, hands down. Your papers are pretty darn fabulous too. Whoa, this sure is one grand tea party card if there ever was one!
I noticed you said you really like the If the Halo fits angel. Would you like me to stamp some images for you? Do you want any of the sentiments that go along with it. Just let me know.

Poor Ginger! Jet lag and everything! Well, at least she's not schnockered (that's a Mothermark word, so I may not be spelling it correctly, but you get it...) I also thought of a cuckoo when I saw your adorable birdie peeking thru! So cute Nancy! I love your colors and great layout. So glad you came for some late tea, always time for that!
