NOTE: I want to say that the "sewers" are not what you think they are these days. Vincent from "Beauty and the Beast" show (http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=h...um=5&ct=image), has moved to the Dublin sewers, and his place looks like the finest condo's you would find in New-York City, I tell you no lie. That said here is what happened to me on the way to Dublin.
Got on the plane, well in the luggage suite, renos on the house cost more than I thought, so had to be "frugal" while traveling. Anyway, got in early to get some fine chocolat, at "La chocolaterie", yes, downtown Dublin. Was running late by then, and met Vincent. He showed me a quicker way to the Botanical gardens by the sewers. I felt him getting all worried when Catherine was coming down from work. Shish! Those underground beasts huh!
All that, and I still made it to the garden with my box of chocolates. Got my hat, so I can come in the front door too.
P.S. I didn't eat all the caramels now girls, guess who did?
Then, there is the Midnight Madness challenge, Priscilla Styles hostesses every week, and it makes me go out of my box, thank you for those gorgeous sketches all the time. Great challenge for me! You can find it here:
Then, last bu not the least, the Flourishes challenge this week, is from Dee Jackson. She challenges us to use cut out and popped-up images. My little hat lady is, though it does not show up much on the card, but honest, she is. You can find the challenge here:
-I thought I had two doves, but one must have flown away.
-My little peach threads bows are kind of weird, but I like the design they make.
-Thank you M, for the hat lady, she came in quite handy here.
-Thank you Sabrina for inviting us over to Dublin and sharing some flower soft and image.
Thank you all girls for taking the time to read me, this one is a doozee huh. Oh, I had to say, I actually dipped my brads, for I had no copper left.
Thanks for looking and read (if you have the time) and enjoy.

You tell me no lies? Hmmmm..... What a wonderful image despite going through all those sewers. I cant believe sewers are different anywhere else. In my book, sewers are sewers. end of story. Yes, you were so fortunate to find a chocolier in Dublin! Oh yes, eat your heart out with all those chocolates, but I still have all kinds of chocoate ice cream right here!

Giggles! Your Flower Soft is divine! I love the look of your peach ribbon tied like fine lacing on a girlie boot! So fancy. Beautiful work. (p.s. don't send me any chocolate!)

Ooooh, Pegs, love your beautiful card. Those flowers with the flower soft are awesome. Your image is colored so pretty and the bird flying from it is perfect for the challenge. Great story.

Peggy, I am so glad you have cleared things up for me, after eating some of your ever so yummy chocolates I was told that they might not be chocolates, rather more poo disguised as chocolate, but I feel reassured now having spotted you at the candy store!!
I am so happy you are here, even if you had to travel through raw sewage to get here, don't worry so many of us are covered in bird and dino poo that you will fit right in, at least you remembered to wear your hat!!
Do you think Vincent could run back to the chocolate store, I am a little bummed that there are no caramels, those are my favorite!!
You card is fab, I love it and the fact that you were able to combine three challenges into one fantastic card is amazing!
I love it, see you round the gardens!!
