MMTPT257~ July 2 2013~ Encouraging a Friend to Bloom is like Sweet Perfume

[philsmom]

Welcome to Teapot Tuesday

the Sisterhood of the Traveling Teaparty

and challenge #257

Encouraging a Friend to Bloom is like Sweet Perfume

Esmeralda was a wallflower
she was so shy she used to cower
Along came her friend named Vy
a sweet & persuasive butterfly
who convinced Esmeralda to reach for the sky
and not be a clinging vine who was so shy.
An encouraging influence on Esmeralda she was
just listen to the bees they're all abuzz
oohing and aahing about Esmeralda's beauty
as they collected pollen and did their duty.
Esmeralda prospered and dared to bloom
thanks to Vy's kind words that were like perfume
by cheering her on to blossom, Vy did good
Esmeralda reached her goal and thrived like she should.

CHALLENGE TRANSLATION:
Bring lots of flowers

Special Note: Scripture is fine.

EXTRA POINTS FOR EXTRA COOKIES (EPEC):
Bring an encouraging sentiment

Hello Fellow Tea Potters ... this week I have two cards to share ...

MMTPT257: For Mary Jane

MMTPT257: Red Blossom Vines


This week designation goes to a sweet sweet lady, named Mary Jane who has suffered a light stroke. She has been in the hospital and from there will have to go to rehab for therapy. She loves flowers - and bright cheerful things, encouragement and Scripture are appropriate. So if you are looking to send your card to someone, how about Mary Jane? Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart!
