There are parties and then there are Parties.
So when I got my invitation to attend the Swashbuckler Soriee
from the lovely Donna O'Brian of The Ribboned Crown,
I cleared my calendar.
You just never know what kind of characters will show up
when Donna puts out the call.
I'm buckling up my boots as we speak...
In honor of this grand event, Donna has asked all of us
who plan on attending, to post a swashbuckler-esque
creation on our blogs.

So I decided to create a pirate themed party favor dexterity game. The perfect game for those of you who possess a steady and skillful hand and the patience of a Saint. Rum drinking
will greatly affect your chances of winning, so please play responsibly.
I will select one lucky winner from the comments I receive from Saturday's Soiree and post the winner here on Monday. Be sure to leave me your name and link to your blog or email so that I can contact you.
To see the complete list of all the participants and their party creations,

The list is on the upper left hand side of her blog.

I've finished my rum infused tea and working on the crown now, should be done in an hour! All the swashbukler ladies are welcome to wear it!
Lisa!
What a lovely creation. I like your art work and can't wait to see more.
Ooooo!!!what fun...a few Rum Balls I hope won't affect my chances.
I love this piece and I am so happy to meet you. I will be back to look around.
You are too funny! And the party favor is perfect.
I'm the designated ship's wheelman so there will be no rum for me.

Melissa!!! How could I have forgotten about games at The Soiree??!!! But I knew I could count on you to supply us with a special game. Perhaps I better put the rum down in the galley. Or better yet, I should fill everyone's glass to the brim so I have a better chance at winning.
D.
Oh so pretty!

I love all your little creatures! Especially the Hallowe'en ones...and a game...what fun! But I insist on having some rum - dark, please.
What a fun idea Melisa! I love it! :) I'm not very good at dexterity games, even without the rum!
I overheard a fight is brewing over the very heart (a body) of Jack! I'll drink to that!
That is soooooo beautiful!!!

Hello Melissa,
Thanks for visiting my corner of the party,...
Love your blog, I will visit again..
xx
Not only is the rum making this game tough but the rolling of the ship isn't helping either. Only way to win is have your feet on solid ground.
Melissa,
I love this piece. The idea and execution are fabulous!!
Oh Fun, Oh Rum and yum, yum, yum. Love the game!
Kelley
Ahoy Matey! Thanks for the party invite! Love your little puzzle! My friend's hubby makes this drink called a Rum Cannonball........I think you need the recipe for all these swashbucklers! =D
