MMTPT179 ~ THERE IS NO RHYME, THERE IS NO REASON! BUT AT THIS TIME, I AM NOT A TEASIN
WELCOME TO TEAPOT TUESDAY
THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING TEAPARTY
AND CHALLENGE #179
There is no rhyme, there is no reason!
But at this time, I am not a teasin'!
Simply put, it's a teal, hearts and
angel sorta season!
This is my story!
1. Welcome to Teapot Tuesday in 2012! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are looking forward to a wonderful new year! There were alot of wonderful teaparties in 2011 and alot of wonderful teapots were featured. One thing is for sure, for as many wonderful teapots as were featured in the previous years challenges, there are equally as many just waiting to be featured in the years to come! Good thing! Where would our teaparties be without teapots? Snort!
2. I would also like to thank all of you for playing along in 2011. Not only have you had fun at the teaparties, but many of you have been kind enough to send your cards to the featured recipient and that has resulted in many warm fuzzies throughout the year. Your cards sure have brought many a smile to the recipients during 2011. Thank you for that! And now, on to our first teaparty in 2012!
3. I am here to teal you that this week its all about the color of teal! Can you teal by looking at this teapot that we are teapartying with teal? Our teal teapot gives us a good start with teal flowers and teal birdies but its lacking something, can't you teal? Angels and hearts! I don't think I have to teal you all that we can't have a teal teaparty without hearts and angels!
4. There is no rhyme, there is no reason but I am here to teal you, I am not teasin'! It's just simply teal, hearts and a angels sorta season!
CHALLENGE TRANSLATION:
Make a card predominantly in teal! Bring flowers, hearts and angels. Oh, and there are no extra cookies this week! We don't need no stinkin' extra cookies after this holiday season! BUT! No worries, its only for one week! Next week, we will be back in the cookie business! Whoot!
DESTINATION STATION:
This week our destination is Williamsfield, Illinois. If you would like a destination for your cards this week, how about sending them to Sonja. Fellow SCSer Sonja (Soni B) was recommended as a destination for our cards this week by fellow teapotter ScrappinCEO (Kelly).
Soni and her daughters are all SCS members. Kelly met Soni over 20 years ago through her oldest daughter, Tammy. Kelly and Soni became co-workers and fast friends. Soni welcomed Kelly and her family into her home, family and circle of friends. When Soni was two years old, she was in a car accident that left her with very little use of her left arm/ hand. But to see the things she does, you'd never know. She's strong. But even the strongest person can be tested. 2011 was a very rough year for Sonja and we are here to help her ring in a much better 2012.
For more information including Sonja's address see Post #262 in the Teapot Tuesday Destination Station thread. Please remember that just because you participate in a Teapot Tuesday challenge that is combined with a card drive request, it does not mean that you are REQUIRED to send your cards. It is totally 100% voluntary!
Here is the awesome card Kelly (ScrappinCEO) made for her friend Sonja
Here is a Quick Link to the Teapot Tuesday #179 Challenge Gallery .
Be sure to you use KEYWORD MMTPT179 in your upload and post a comment here so we can all see your card!
Ever want to get a jump on next week's challenge card? SCS has given me permission to create an email Teapot Tuesday Cheater Group and email the challenge out on the Friday before the Tuesday of the challenge so you girls can have the weekend to make your card. Send me a pm with your email address if you wanna be a Cheater!
If you are confused about these challenges, see the first sticky post of this thread for more information. There is also a directory of individual challenges. Feel free to grab this I survived Teapot Tuesday Badge for your blog!
Here's my card for Sonja. I have a very busy day tomorrow with my friends (going to breakfast and then playing dominos...Mexican train to be exact) and am so glad you have opened the gallery this early. I don't have any angels or hearts on the card.......duh........my mind didn't even go in that direction.........but I will stamp an angel on the envie....does that count ???!!! ha ha I'm trying to make flower cards like kittie747.....this is tedious.....my poinsetta was better.
Have a Happy Tuesday.... card will go in the mail in the morning

I've been missing from the teaparties for several weeks, but I hope I can get back in your good graces. I brought an angel, a heart and some teal (maybe turquoise -- sorry) paper.
Here's my card for Sonja Happy New Year dear fellow teapotters. It is good to be back from my hiatus. Things got crazy around here for a while. Phil had a stroke, but he is okay. My vet is shocked that he has lasted this long considering he was given 3 to 6 months back in April. She said he has it too good to die. Baci's pose is so typical of my little girl. Brigante is my sweetheart he is such a good boy! My MIL had some health problems and has moved to Assisted Living. So 2012 please make this a happy and healthy New Year for us all.
Phil is inspecting his Christmas present, Briggsy is playing with his new lamby and Baci is just being Baci.

Hi, Cindy....and Happy New Year. I'm back on the Tea Party bandwagon after taking a month off. It will be fun to "see" everyone again and sip tea and share cookies.
Here is my card for Sonja. Will have to come back throughout the week to comment . . . I was so excited to go back to work today (NOT!) that I didn't sleep last night so I'm off to bed!
Here is my card - no angels or hearts, but it does have teal flowers like the teapot!
It worked out well with the color challenge colors today. Flowers in a Jar
Ok, no one fall off your chair and break your tea cup....I'm on time to the teaparty....Had the holiday off for a change and I played in the back room all day yest...such fun..well, between baking up some low fat merinque cookies sweetened with splenda to bring to the teaparty.....passing the plate around..theyre really quite good...
here is my card for Sonia. IRL it really isn't this green,
Happy New Year everyone! I haven't played since November so it's nice to be back!! Here's my card for Sonja.

Allright...which one of you took the Mudder's cookies?....she said she didn't get em.....good thing I never do anything small and I have more.....here comes the plate around again.....teal colored merinques for all....
This is my first time doing a Teapot Tuesday challenge. I do not know if I am doing it right, but if I am not, PLEASE someone let me know. I am thinking that all I had to do was make a card with Teal being the featured color. Here's my card....Rhubarb's Teal Heart

Hi teapotters! =) My name is Krista, and I am Soni B's daughter. I am totally blown away by this! What a fabulous challenge idea. I am lucky enough to get to see all of the wonderful cards in person, so I don't want to peek just yet. My mom is just speechless and this is such an uplifting thing for you all to do. I want to be a part of it, so I'm going to join in the fun and check out the next teapot challenge. Hopefully I can figure it all out. Thank you all for the sweet gesture and the smiles you have brought to my mom!
