Well.....Pinkie Bear came along to Mississippi to prove to Barney Bear that not all baskets have food in them....sometimes they just hold flowers.....and whether food or flowers, they are meant to be shared with others. I really think Barney is just 'frozen' from shyness or fear from all these teaparty ladies descending on him. Once he sees we mean no harm I think he will 'sweeten' up....and besides, when he sees the extra food we are all bringing, he will throw that basket aside and find better pickings somewhere else. And then, Bertie can have her weekly flinging contest with the basket.....lol!!!
This card was inspired by Muddamark's story found here . You can join us at the tea party each Tuesday!
Thanks for looking.

That is just the cutest bear and basket! Fabulous coloring as always, too. Hee hee ... great idea: a basket flinging contest! Where is that Bertie anyway?

A basket of flowers, what a lovely idea. I see it's attracting the bees, though - so what with the honey that's already around I hope there aren't TOO many bees this week. That is very smart ribbon, too.

I told Bertie to only fling empty baskets...lets see if she can follow rules. Let me know if you see her being naughty and I'll tell the big bad bears that Big Bad Bertie and her B's are talkin' smack about them!
Now to my softer side......
What a precious adorable little girly bear. Are you sure that those flowers in that basket were not delivered at her arrival. Barney was asking the name of a floral shop in Pelahatchi. She is the sweetest little thang, so innocent, so shy!! A match made in heaven!

Sweet thang!
You make Bertie's heart sang!
Thanks for bringin' 'nother basket for the basket flingin' today, SnoSnot. I always tell people how thoughtful you are, in addition to your creative genius for cardmaking.
Cat brought the honey pot and we're busy fillin' up da baskets. We might even get some of Dawn's left over pumpkin guts. Don't tell da Muddermark, though, k? She thinks we're flingin' empty baskets and even volunteered to sit up on the stool as our test dummy. Yep. You guessed it. She's been into the bear beer and has no idear what she has volunteered fer. Ooooo-wheeee! This is gonna be fun!
I love your precious Pinkie Bear, and that coordinating ribbon is surely da bomb! So cute and pretty at the same time.
Okay, 'nuff jibber jabber. Lez git busy fillin' them thar baskets, SnoSnot. What? You want some bear beer, too?

I get such a kick out of reading MM and Charlenes comments. They are making fun of your cute little bear. Too much bear beer for those two. I hear they drink it for breakfast.. Super card. I love the way you colored this image. Perfect stamp for this rowdy challenge..
