Yep! It's the MAN, and he is swaggerin' in to the Birthday Saloon (they don't serve anything but the finest Chocolate Tea there you know...) He orders his tea, drops a quarter in the juke box and this is what he hears:
A little song for Hilda, listen:
Stamp River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, tea maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two stampers off to see CHA.
There's such a lot of ink to see.
We're after the same cardmaker's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my QFTD friend,
Stamp River..... and me.
Queen Hilda, that's all I got for ya! Poetry, not a gift I possess. So, you will have to settle for a re-write of a classic. I totally love how you crank up a MMTPT party and the encouraging words you always have for each party goer! Today I used Amethyst Tree. Your card is so elegant, and mine so sooo 'not', but I loved those swingin' doors and you inspired me to make a bd card for a very special friend. I changed the colors and stamps and direction of the ribbon, but still used a cuttled bg. I sooo loved how you used the Top Note, and I can see casing you again in this! Hilda, thank you for encouraging me, and Jamie in your work, and thru your words. You are one sweet Stamper lady! Enjoy your crown!

Yes Pat, your card is not elegant like Hilda's beauty, but it is heart-stopping w/ this swaggering hunk of man comin through those swingin doors. He just takes my breath away when you give him life! And the flower is just the perfect feminine touch. You knocked my socks off w/ this one G/F. LYMI
