Git yer buzzer buzzin,
Head out on the highway.
LookinÂ’ fer adventure
In whatever comes our way
Born to be wild
No, we are not mild
Our stings are deadly
If not treated readily
Hoooooowdeeeee!!! Queen Beatrice (thatÂ’s her with the red and gold crown and sparkly gold wings) is on her way with her entire entourage of hot honeys (hive and all) to Boonesville, Mississippi today for some tea, honey, and, hopefully, a little match makinÂ’ with Uncle Beeford BumbleÂ’s boy bees. Truth be told, I think Uncle Beeford is a few bees short in his beard and is up to some wiley tricks, but my girls are quite buzzin' saavy and know how to take care of themselves.
What? You wanna know why they have red noses? Well, it seems some of the other tea partiers (names will not be mentioned to protect those with innocent-looking faces) stopped at Queen Beatrice's hive the night before for a little hive-gaitin' party and were dippin' into the sauce that Uncle Beeford sent to da Muddermark. This is his own special sauce from his distillery in Boonesville, Mississippi. Needless to say, they got a little schnockered before take off.
So grab your bees, your honey, your netting, and whatever else you want to bring to the shindig tea party in Boonesville today cuz we are gonna have a rootinÂ’ tootinÂ’ good time! If yaÂ’ll need more details as to the full story and/or what you need to do to participate, you kin check it out on da MuddermarkÂ’s (aka Mothermark) glob:
When uploadin' yer buzzin' creations to SCS, be sure to use keyword MMTPT59! I hope to see you there!
Now, for those interested, here are details behind the making of this card:
The buzzin by beauty bees were colored with Copic markers. Each precious bee was hand cut and adhered to their hive. Their buzzin' hive was shaped with a Coluzzle oval cutter and scored with a Scor Pal. Color and shading were added by sponging the various colors with daubers and watercoloring with SU reinkers and watercolor brush.

LOL! I completely didn't make the leap until now that we're in Jack country today! Love your song, story and card Charlene! Your queen bee certainly did bring an entourage. How clever to bring their own hive, too! That is some seriously perfect handcutting ...
Can I check out the shed with you and MM?

You are such a hoot, Charlene! Love your song and story! Have you ever seen a moonshine still? Bees are always buzzing! How do I know, you might ask? Well, that's another story!
Your card is precious! Your Queen's crown is perfect for the party- everyone will know she is THE queen, and not to be messed with!

Charlene, I love all your bees, but Queen BEEatrice is the most BEE-U-tiful Bee! I love her crown and golden wings. We may have to hire a body guard to protect her. No telling how those boy bees will BEEhave. (Cute noses)

Rudolph bees (so they weren't born that way, who cares) what a giggle!
I bet a shot or two of the special sauce in our tea and we all will think we are wearing crowns. Gotta love that hive.

Those bees are too cute with their big old bodies and itty bitty wings! I think they might need to start visitng the gym with my bee....when they sober up of course. I'm not sure if thisis the same group or not, I just heard on the news that a group of bees were arrested for being drunk and disorderly...
