I know...I just uploaded a card nearly like this, and that is because I cased Mary again- started four of these before church this morning, and just got the finishing touches done. Using Mary's Tea Time Card, and changing the image and adding a touch of color. This card is for a newly retired sweet, sweet friend. I hope she can sit back, relax and enjoy a cup of tea now!
Mary, your gallery and blog brought smiles and inspiration!

Aww, Pat, now that is the way to view retirement - like a warm relaxing cup of tea - love the steamy bling coming off the top, the floral oval makes a great backdrop for the cup combined with the sweet tag (and love that crinkled ribbon too!) and I see you never forget to 'add the love' with your wandering stitch-- makes me feel all cozy inside just looking at this!!
Dang! if I can only figure out why my thread keeps breaking, then I will be able to sew on my cards again!
Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas so generously with us! You're the best!

Can a cowgirl have "tea time" or is that only for sophisticated gals? Mrs. Buckle, this is beyond imagination as are all your cards. Mrs. Bloomsi in a Boxi, this is FABULOUS!
