I was having such a hard time trying to think of a card for the teapot party today. I was browsing the cards when I came across Anne's (jdmommy) card. Wow it was love at first site. Since I have been unemployed for awhile I have been focusing my direction on finding a man.....and there he was, Professor Plum. So handsome, so debonair, so rich. Well fatigue hit me and I fell asleep dancing in his arms to the music of Dean Martin (I had just seen the movie Rio Bravo recently and his singing voice just curls my toes!!). I suddenly woke up and all I could see was red!!! This flower was everywhere!! Red, red, red.....and then I thought Scarlot!!! I thought it must be a sign!!! Of course it is a sign...this is Clue!!! I was in my bedroom laying on my pillow when I had this revelation so I am convinced it is Miss Scarlot in the BEDROOM with a PILLOW!!! Must be the newest edition of Clue I am sure. The one with less violence. Do I win!!!! Do I win!!! Just a note I am sad to mention....I have not received my $1,000,000 from last week. I am sure the mail is just slow. My sister has not received her card I mailed last week. That darn post office!!
hugs to my sisters

Darling card Connie, gorgeous red flower image and the background too. I find your way of deduction quite interesting. Did you know there are schools for detectives, I'm enrolling in them soon, but not for the Mr. Boddy mystery, but for the mystery that attracts a bunch of nutty ladies like us to this party...LOL
There are no rhymes or reasons, guess it'S just a fun place to come to. Glad to see you again at the teapot party Connie.

Hi sis! Now that's what I'm talking about! Being inspired by taking a nap! Snort! No matter where the inspiration came, I am just glad it came! Your card is very romantic, red, and well, sorta Rio Bravoery! You are on a roll girlfried! I love that you are making it to the teaparty!
Sorry I did not greet you immediately as I was tending to yet another debacle by Inspector Clouseau! It seems he was in the midst of a quite violent pillow fight (yeah Kato is here!) and he slipped on a bunch of feathers, flipped into the air and landed in the fireplace which by the way was romantically burning! Couple of bandaids and he's good!
About the million bucks. Do you remember who was supposed to send you that? We need to appoint a record keeper as this is the kinda stuff that falls through the cracks. I bought a new lear jet and a little tropical island this week but don't be thinking that your million bucks came to my house by mistake!!!
Speaking of mail....I got your most wonderful fall card in the mail today! Holy cow, the colors are awesome, not wild and crazy at all! Thank you so much! You and your sister rock! I got lots of happy mail from your family this week! Giggle! I love the border behind your ribbon that looks like metal! How cool is that! Hugs!
Hi Sis...did you take your sisters million bucks? Shame on you!

Well, that Miz Scarlet sure has a bad rep. She looks like a nogoodnik just from her picture if you ask me, I have accused her also.
Your card is very elegant in the red, very beautifully done!

I keep reading all the comments here, then it dawned on me I hadn't commented! Yikes, what a sister I am. This is one purty card you pulled out of your hat sis. Gorgeous on all aspects. Now about that full of baloney story you came up with.....red flower hmmmm must be Miss ScarLOT....pillow the weapon, yeah right, and since you napped in the bedroom that must be the room. Just who helped you come up with all this stuff? Huh? Okay, love your card, laughed at the story. Awesome job today. Luv Ya! TFS :0)

Connie, this is gorgeous. I think a pillow would do me in right now. So I better stay away from them. I have been at church for over an hour with some of the ladies working on an umbrella dance for the labor day parade. It is going to be very humorous. I love how creative your card is. I'm telling you right now I don't know where your money is.

Connie Jo, this is beautiful! And so nice to see your tree again.
I like your version of Ms Scarlet with a pillow ... too fun! Good to see you girl! Now about that million dollars ... we're going to have to hire an armored truck to get the moolah to you next time. Ya' just can't trust anyone these days!

I am soooo confused! The clues have been pouring in and several have been accused! But the fact that you dreamed it, means it must be true! A gorgeous card you have created for today's tea party! TFS!!!!
