This is for both the MMTPT317 and the fan club monthly theme - "am I babbling". First, all the lovely ladies of the sisterhood of the traveling tea party have been sending fabric, lace, ribbons and sewing supplies to Dixy and Daisy so they can make gorgeous dresses for the big harvest dance. Well, the dresses are done and here they are walking to the big old barn where the dance is being held. Daisy is carrying a beautiful flower basket to decorate the desert table...she is so great at flower arranging (actually, this was a large stamp that I "snrunk" to fit using the printer). Dixie is carefully carrying a teapot filled with her special pumpkin tea...a huge favorite among the townsfolk. Oh, poor Dixie and Daisy. While they were busy arranging their gorgeous hair ribbons, those cute twins, Luke and Rowdy, snuck into the kitchen and added a secret ingredient of their own- a big dose of moonshine. Fast Scarlet has been sneaking moonshine since she was 13, but we all know about Scarlet. The rest of the lovely people of Small Meadows just don't drink. Oh boy and howdy doo, this is going to be a harvest dance for the record books.
The CT0814 is to use babbling as a theme. My sister and I shared a room growing up, and you nevet saw 2 girls talk like us. When I finished this card it reminded me of when I was 7 and my sister was 8. Gracie, a sweet elderly lady who would baby sit on Saturday nights when my parents went out. At 8 0'clock the world came to a screeching halt while Grace stared mesmerized at the TV, tapping her foot and humming to the Lawrence Welk show. My sister and I would run to the "costume closet" and put on old party dresses that my mom kept there for us to play in. We would waltz, fox trot, and polka all around the room- well, we mostly rolled on the rug and giggled. What fun old memories. TFL, Francie

Oh! What precious memories!!! My sister is 2 1/2 years younger than I am and we always shared a room. We chatted all the time. When I see my sis now, I still feel that feeling of "I am home"! Your card is sooo pretty and colorful! I love your two little girls and the fab story you shared with us of dancing and giggling! You have made me smile this morning with fond memories of my own!
