I made this card for Charlene AKA Lilluvstampin' AKA Bertie! Today is her birthday and she recently retired.
This is my story!
1. The Teapotters have been sneaky again! We secretly were making M&M cards to fling at Bertie at her Retirement Party.
2. SalineLynn (Lynn) was kind enough to secretly accumulate the cards and take them to Bertie's Retirement party and fling em at her! Snort!
3. I made this card after my very favorite TV commercial. Honey, I feel like a snack.....The guy opens the cupboard and the M&M critters threw a bag at him, he says...Get in the Bowl! You Get in the Bowl! Bwahaha! I love that commericial! Stinkin' M & M's are little rascals! You can watch it
4. When we decided to make Bertie M & M cards, I could not resist to make one of my acrylic box cards! Snort!
5. Happy Birthday Bertie!

I love that commercial too - it cracks me up everytime it comes on. My DH just shakes his head at me! Your box is so, so adorable - it's a good thing it is closed - as Bertie may want to get her hands in there!!
