YAY!! I finally made it to MotherMark's Teapot Party and I brought my adorable friend Rodney 'cause we heard ya'll might need some help at the Jellystone picnic. After a little coersion, Rodney agreed to share a bit of his cupcake with Barney in order to lure him away from our picnic basket.
RODNEY (in a tiny squeeky voice): uuummm, Mr. Bear, could I interest you in coming over here for a tastey little morsel?!!
Me (whispering excitedly): Its working Rodney!!! He's on his way!!
Rodney: umm, errrr, uuuhhh Mr. Bear Sir...I meant the cupcake...THE CUPCAKE MR BEAR!!!! THE CUPCAKE!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
RUN RODNEY RUN!!!!!!!!
Oh Dear!! We had so hoped to make a good impression at our first party...Welllll, gotta go rescue a rodent; sadly, the cupcake didn't make it and Barney has returned to the basket!! Poor Rodney; does anybody know Rodent Resuscitation Techniques (RRT)!! He really does need to be in good shape to go visit my FIL later this week for his birthday...He's gonna tell him "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good." When he comes to, and finds himself in one piece, he's gonna say Amen to that!!

Very very cute! Awesome coloring!!!!! Love the sponging around the edges and all the colors you've used. That cupcake looks good enough to eat, though I'm not so sure he'd be willing to share? TFS. : )

Wow! Absolutely fabulous job on this image! And all that stitching! And your story is a hoot - I sure hope that little Rodney is revived by the time he gets to your FIL - who I'm sure will love this card. Love the verse you chose to go with this whimsical little image...

Giggle! Rodney is so cute! He makes me think of Rodney the Rodent from the Dr. Doolittle movie with Eddie Murphy. He's just packin' his fat little cheeks and storin' it all away! Total cuteness!
