I missed the tea party altogether two weeks ago, but I did make my card on the last day and couldn't post it.
Here's the story ... 42,000 tea partiers descended on a farm for Rap lessons. There was music, education and even a little love story going on. Well, I arrived just as things were wrapping up. Everyone was leaving the farm ... trailing behind the famous rapper's tour bus. The farm animals lined up to watch the hoards of happy tea drinking rapper students leave. They not only interrupted the animal's pastoral lives, but made quite the racket while they were there. Rowdy bunch 'o gals that they are!!!
Heck, Sally the Sheep was so happy that she scrambled up on the roof of the barn to make sure they stayed on the road out of town. Phew! Peace and quiet shall return to the farm once again. But the tea partiers left quite the lasting impression that they will never forget. Despite all the noise, they were one bunch of sweet ladies!
This is another stamp that I bought 2nd hand hoping it might fit into a tea party one day. Too bad I couldn't have shown up on time, eh?!!!
Have a great day everyone!

Well, M, it was worth the wait! This is such a fun scene... love Sally up there on the roof, and your story is a happy ending to the frizzle/frazzled tea party. You've 'rapped it up nicely!

So many nice details: the CB folder, popped up critters, sunflowers. What caught my eye is the lamb on the barn roof. Reminds me of the squirrels and geese that land on mine. They sound like sumo wrestlers.
