Today's tea party is in Hampton Falls, NH at the Apple Farm Orchard. It seems that someone isn't happy about the hiring of Annie May Appleseed! You can read all about that here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Well, I think I have found the Bad Apple. You see, Betty is very upset that Annie May can pick 24,000 apples an hour. That means there isn't time for any of those ripe apples to fall to the ground and rot, and that means less food for her prized bees and then less honey for her!
So, she decided to slow Annie down by knocking her on her Fannie! She might look innocent, but she loves her bees! You can tell by the way she is cradling their bee hive! Yikes! She must really like bees!
I want one of Berties apple martinis. It has been a long day and I am ready for some fun!
Thanks for looking!

Now look at this one now. It would be a sure way to get rid of me. So please tell your tall friend here, if she joins our table underneath the blue apple tree, loose the beehive and bees please. Bring the honey, should taste good in the apple-tinis where having over here. LOL
Love your card Anne, you always make the sweetest cards. TFS

Well, that explains the buzzing right before little Annie went airborn! I think you might be on to something! Let's lure Betty away from the snack table, she can leave the honey but the bees need to go........at least until we've had our snacks and tea.....
This is a precious image with a great story. I think we might just solve this mystery!
Whisper: I will be in touch, you know about our secret......Shhh!!!!

Yikes! I cannot fer the life of me believe Betty is holdin' a bee hive. Fer land's sake. I only gots a 3rd grade educashun (sshhhh! don't tell the others that info), but even I knows ya don't hang onto a bee hive!
I kin see ya put a lot of love and detail into this purty card, Miss Anne> It is so sweet and beautifully colored. Come on over here with me and Gertie and Maxie and SnoSnot and, well jes about everyone here at the party, and git yer apple-tini. You definitely earned it!
