Well, the 2008 Second Annual Berry Queens' Hi! Tea went off without a hitch and we had the kewtest ladies in the most precious hats you have ever seen, ya'll, including our veryown Mayor, Hilda Curry(who is just made to wear a hat). Queen of Hearts house and yard were decorated to the hilt and the food and drink were MARVELOUS and plentiful, which all us queens do so appreciate, sugars! We had several special guests and the queens brought Ho-made cakes for our first ever BERRY CROCK-A competition and there was a hands down winner--thought I'll not tell until the night of our First O-fficial Berry Queens' Ball and Pageant, so don't even TRY to get me to!!! Even money, jewels, and Brighton type gifts would PROBLY not sway me, though, if you have to try, you can....(Tee-hee!) Can't wait to do it again next year! Hope to see you all at the ball--it will be sooooooooo much fun! Here's to the Queens, DIVAs, and to Iberia Habitat for Humanity!!!! Special thanks to Queen of Sold, Tessie Dore, for donating a ton of door prizes, which we are going to be able to use for the ball and to all our queens for baking or picking up desserts out the whazoo for our First Berry Crock-A competition and bake-off! All of ya'll who were there are positively precious and I just couldn't live without one of you!!!! For those of ya'll who couldn't make it--I MISSED YOU!!!!! Looking forward to seeing you there next year!

LUV ya'll,

Queen de Bling, (aka Jerre Borland)
