AND CHALLENGE #215
SHE'S RUNNING UP THAT HILL
AFTER HER CADILLAC SEVILLE!
Note: Anyone is welcome to play! You automatically become a Teapotter the first time you play in our challenge. Also, you do not have to write a story. You just have to be inspired by the teapot or by the story about this week's location! Have fun! If this is your first Teapot Tuesday Challenge, please mention that in your commentary so we can be sure to greet you properly, in pure Teapot Tuesday fashion! Your participation in Destination Station is 100% voluntary and not at all required. Just have fun!
This is my story!
1. I have been thinking about how cool it would be to forget this imaginary teaparty stuff and have a real teaparty! Would that not be fun? I think SCS needs to come up with some sorta special SCS cardmaker time travel machine that we could all jump into on Tuesdays, hit a magic red button and end up at a place like this! Tea, cookies, teapotter camaraderie! A placed called Teapot Tuesday Teapotville!
2. However, don't you be thinking that all is well in Teapotville! Yes, the clouds are in the shape of hearts, the shrubs are strawbabies, raspbabies, and bluebabies! There is always a beautiful blue sky, the weather is perfect and the cookies are unlimited. And the ultimate draw? There are many, many places cookies can be hidden! Snort! The problem is, Cruella Deville has moved to Teapotville! After many a year, she promply moved here. She'd become worn out and tired, all the help that she'd hired, she had promptly just fired. They didn't do their job, they'd lost track of the mob, of black and white puppies who belonged to the yuppies! As she was sipping from her cup, she'd decided to give up! She thought.....the only thing for me, is a continual cup of hot tea! She's turned her attention from polka dotted pups to retirement, relaxation, tea pots and tea cups! This place call Teapotville is perfect for Cruella Deville!
3. But after a year, the town lives in fear! A hot cup of tea is no longer working, the town hides in fear and moves around lurking! They are painfully aware, she's pulling out her hair, from boredom, depression and just plain ole despair! Her mood is just fowl, kinda like Simon Cowell! Oh my! That noise was so shrill! It was Cruella Deville! She's running up that hill after her Cadillac Seville! Oh no! Sweet Mr. McGyver, her kind little driver, is no longer employed just like the gardener, Lloyd. Unemployment has begun to soar, the total is now 42,000 and 4! The town council must meet, hurry up, send a tweet! This meeting's called to order a little early in the quarter! The order of business on this fine Fall day is to come up with a way to end our dismay! What is that Tia? You have an idea? Cruella will be 67 on September 11! We gotta come up with some cash for a big birthday bash! All those in favor, say Aye. Those opposed, go blow your nose! Our plan won't be easy, it sorta makes me feel queasy!
4. That's the plan, Stan. Stan was the unfortunate poor soul who drew the short stick and now finds himself to be Teapotville's new party planner! He's short on experience but is up for the challenge. There is always a teaparty being held somewhere in Teapotville where there are those willing to share their expertise in the planning of parties! Happy Birthday Cruella! You're about to be happy!
Lots of good conversation ahead for us Teapotters! Share your favorite, most happy birthday! Your best birthday memory! What you did, what you got, how old you were, what made it special. Was it a party, was it a trip, were there balloons, what kind of cake? How many people were there? Who were they? Did you blow out some candles? Did your wish come true? Did your friends surprise you? Was it quiet with just two? Did your family come through?
If your favorite birthday memories had anything at all to do with black and white polka dotted dalmation puppies, you must come in the back door! Are you kidding me? So you want to take that chance? A word of of advice, you'd be better off bringing mice!
CHALLENGE TRANSLATION:
Option One ~ Make a birthday card using what you think makes a birthday special. Cake, confetti, candles and balloons, lots of presents, lots of friends, lots of fun!
Option Two ~ Make a card displaying in paper your memory of one of your fondest birthdays. It does not have to look like a birthday card but your commentary when you upload should explain a little about that birthday. Where you went, what you did, who you were with, you get the picture!
EPEC ~ (EXTRA POINTS FOR EXTRA COOKIES!)
All the extra cookies will probably be eaten at Cruella's birthday bash but as I mentioned before there are lots of wonderful hiding places for cookies in Teapot Tuesday Teapotville. So, no worries there, you get extra cookies for including a hand written (or typed) letter inside your card to the recipient of this week's DESTINATION STATION sharing your most fond memory of a birthday past! The hidden cookies are birthday cake cookies! Whoot!
EEPEC ~ (EXTRA EXTRA POINTS FOR EXTRA EXTRA COOKIES!)
It's a surprise! A surprise how to get extra, extra cookies! You can find out how to earn them when you read this week's post in the Destination Station thread! Whoot! It's easy and involves just three little words!
DESTINATION STATION:
This week our destination is a Philadelphia, PA. If you would like a destination for your card this week, how about sending it to Eula! Eula is celebrating her 110th birthday on September 14th. This is the third birthday we have helped Eula to celebrate. She was originally brought to our attention in 2010 at age 108 by Lorraine
(Pidgesmom). Lorraine has a friend (Jackie) who met Eula and became very good friends! Eula is an amazing women, she's colorful and fun!
