The Pirate Vessel Bluebird Has Arrived

So the Bluebird sails out of The Magpie's Nest; get over it!



It took awhile to find the right map.



Then we had to find something to win over the honored guest...



No, wait. I meant this.

And a little something for the hostess.


Meanwhile, I'm keeping this for me!

See you later ladies!

    There's nothing like gifting oneself, that way you get the perfect gift, which I think you've found.
    Thanks for joining the crew and sailing along.

    I'm predicting quite a cat fight before this soiree is over. There just isn't enough of a certain pirate to go around.

    I could've swore I posted here but I guess I didnt..I'm getting lost here at the party and it's been a day and a half of partying! The map is beautifully drawn and worth the wait to find a good one (I couldnt find a decent one). Happy Soiree and thanks for sharing:)
