Sorry, I am so late for this party. I have actually been here awhile but I am in the ladybug bus back in the bar watching Tom mix cocktails (I loved that movie and I thought he was the coolest when he mixed that drink). I am not drinking though - he is mixing teas for me and I am having peach fruit ice like the one they have at PF Changs. It tastes so much better after Tom shakes it with some crushed ice and a little Splenda. I am high on some caffeine though, so that Thug better watch out! I hope we have already saved Lou-la-Bella, I guess I better stop watching Tom and catch up on what is going on.
I really wasn't watching what was going on with this mission because my card has special powers. Inside is Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." I made this card for my youngest daughter, Alex, who is struggling with a female bully at school. Fourteen is a tough age and this girl is really targeting her verbally in every way. Maybe you all can drop me off after the party and help me talk to this mean girl. Right now we are praying but if it gets any worse, I will be going to the school with our notebook we are keeping documenting every little comment. Anyway, with this scripture and the power of God behind us and this great ladybug bus, we are surely going to save Lou-la-Bella!
If you haven't participated in the Teapot Tuesday Challenge and you are reading this, you probably are out there trying to find where you can do an on-line intervention or where you can get Dr. Phil to help me (aka Dr. Feelgood Frost for you Twisted Sisters out there). These are some really fun challenges and the trip into make-believe can be very alluring - check out the details at:
http://www.mothermark.blogspot.com/ or in the SCS forum under challenges and then in the second group of threads (it is usually first or second in there and references tea in the world of make believe or something like that - check post 153 for the details on this party).

Now second of all - Teenage girls can be so very awful! You should intervene! If an adult goes to work and someone treats them like that every day it is called harassment and sometimes 4th degree assault!
I'm glad that you pray. Pray for that girl because something in life is making her very unhappy. However that does not justify this behavior!!!

I am so sad for your daughter. This world is so cruel. My daughter went through the same thing only it was a group of girls. I finally moved her to a new school. I am happy to say she has blossomed and is in college now.. I will pray for your daughter as I know how this hurts her and you..
Your card is beautiful. The verse will bring her heart some peace.. Super job on this challenge. TFS

What a great card! Wonderful colors and details - and of course, ladybugs to the rescue!
Sorry about what your daughter is going through! I hope that bully moves on soon.
