MMTPT157 ~ TINK, LARUE AND SUNSHINE TOO! PLANNING A TEAPARTY FOR ME AND YOU!

Mothermark · 08-01-2011, 02:47 AM

WELCOME TO TEAPOT TUESDAY
THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING TEAPARTY
AND CHALLENGE #157

TINK, LARUE AND SUNSHINE TOO!
PLANNING A TEAPARTY FOR ME AND YOU!

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. OMG! Do you all realize that its August! Its Back To School! And Then September! Fall! And then October! Halloween! And then November! Thanksgiving! And then December! Christmas! Oh no! What happened to Summer? Time flies when you are having fun and we have been having fun every week at our teaparties! But you have not seen fun until you have partied with the likes of these three! You'll see!

2. Once upon a time there were three little teapots! Tink, LaRue and Sunshine! They've become such good friends sitting on the shelf together for years and years. They've not been bored at all. They keep each other entertained with wonderful tales of teaparties past. Teaparties their grand parents attended, teaparties their parents attended, teaparties they have attended even though their lives are young and there have not been that many!! They love being a part of this wonderful teapot collection and have enjoyed each other's company! And when the other teapots in the collection started calling them The Three Tea-Migos, they decided to leave the collection and try some of their own ideas! They want the exhiliaration of a wonderful teaparty. Today's The Day, Let's Do It Our Way! We'll Make The Plans, Earn Lots of Fans! Teaparty Planners Extraordinaire!

Meet Tink, the Green One-Eyed Wink
Here's What I Think ~ Make it Wild, Make it Fun!!

Meet Blue LaRue, the Play it Pleasant Guru
This is What To Do ~ Make it Relaxing, Make it Nice!

Meet Sunshine Yellow, the Do It with Food Fellow
Just Do it With Jello ~ Make it Filling, Make it Tastey!

Tink, LaRue, and Sunshine Too!
Planning A Teaparty For Me and You!

3. How could this be so difficult? They all know from the stories they have heard what makes a wonderful teaparty but who'da thunk when it came right down to the nitty gritty, there could be such disagreement in planning for their debut, their kickoff, their opening premier teaparty! There is one thing to do and one thing only! They must determine which direction to go! Wild and Fun, Relaxing and Nice, Filling and Tastey! A combination of the three? How can that be?

Tink brings the humor, wild and wacky, let's tell a joke and fling some stuff kinda fun, specializing in teaparty glee! LaRue brings the sophistication, elegance, keep your pinkies up, lacey table cloth, its all about the abiance, specializing in teaparty class! And finally, Sunshine. Sunshine brings the food, it will be incredible as long as its edible, specializing in the teaparty feast!

4. Tink, LaRue, and Sunshine have decided to attend a Teapot Tuesday Teaparty as they have heard that anything goes on Teapot Tuesday. They have heard they are fun, wacky and wild. They have heard they are classy, elegant, and sophisticated! They have heard the food is to die for! First hand observtion will help them in the decision making process. Can a teaparty be a success when it combines the three elements that these Three Tea-Migos each believe so strongly in? We shall see! I think you know what to do! Afterall, we have been doing this for 157 weeks, you talk about expertise!

Here is the Plan, Stan! Stan is another teabuddy they have brought along. He has always hung out with The Three Tea-Migos because he loves color! Especially Green, Blue and Yellow! You see, Stan is a plain white teapot and as wonderful as than can be, he longs for color! Back to the Plan, Stan! We're having a teaparty for Tink, LaRue and Sunshine too! Let's just show them what we can do! Light-hearted, upbeat, beautiful, wonderful, colorful things. Let's encourage these three, fill them with joy and show them what can be done for others through a Teapot Tuesday Teaparty! From flowers, to food, to comical characters. Its wide open this week! You get extra cookies if you keep it light hearted, fun and *young*. That's what these three can relate to! Time to show off Teapotters! Show our stuff to the likes of The Three Tea-Migos! And don't forget Stan, bring his favorite colors!

CHALLENGE TRANSLATION:
Guess what? Its a Teapot Tuesday Color Challenge! Bring happy and upbeat cards in specific colors! I don't know any fancy SU names for the colors of the teapots. So, just make your cards in Green, Yellow, and Blue! That's what to do!

DESTINATION STATION:
This week's destination is various locations across many many miles. If you would like a destination for your card this week, how about sending it to one of the kids of Hugs and Hope Club for Sick Kids. Hugs and Hope is an internet-based group of caring people who are devoted to providing smiles for kids with serious illnesses, injuries or handicaps.The Club was created by Marsha Jordan in October 2000, as a ministry of encouragement for children battling critical illness. Visitors to the site pray for, encourage, and send these children cheerful, special, handmade cards (a.k.a."happy mail"). That is where we come in this week!

For more information on who to mail your card to if you chose to participate, please visit Post #240 in the 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 my card.

Here is a Quick Link to the Teapot Tuesday #157 Challenge Gallery .

Be sure to you use KEYWORD MMTPT157 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 dont' want to cheat, I am posting a sneak peak on my blog each week showing you a glimpse of the following week's teapot as well as a hint of the story! It's at the end of the Teapot Tuesday Post each week. I usually post it sometimes during the weekend before the next Tuesday!

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!

katlady2 · 08-01-2011, 05:18 PM

I kinda got carried away today and created these 3 cards for this week's challenge. Could be because I am on vacation from work, so had lots of time to play? maybe it was a big dose of mojo? Whatever it was all three of these cards will be going to one of the children on the H&H thread. I'm plannin on popping back later tonight or tomorrow so I don't do 3 posts in a row...

hobbydujour · 08-01-2011, 05:45 PM

WOW, Cindy.........you did a LOT of work for this one! I, too, hope every child receives a card. Hopefully, Caleb isn't a teenager since I did gear my card to a younger child. I'm glad it turned out to be a boy....not that girls don't like frogs! : )

HOPPY HELLO

etsdas · 08-01-2011, 05:51 PM

I need to go back and read directions. I did one card with three colors. (In my defense, I am also trying to do all of the dirty girl challenges - and I think I saw Cindy's name farther down the list.) I will get to the H&H list soon.

thanks for looking

etsdas · 08-01-2011, 07:35 PM

Thanks for the heads up giving the link for more info on the child - I see "mine" is an 8 yr old boy - I intend to do a remake to do something a bit more suitable!

Cook22 · 08-01-2011, 10:17 PM

Call me dumb, but I still can't work out if we're meant to make monochromatic cards or just cards in those bright colours?
I think that when I get home from work I'll sign up and get an idea of who I'm sending to, because that will certainly jumpstart where I go with the card. Not good at boy cards unless I know ahead of time that it's for a boy!!

deannestewartmills · 08-02-2011, 01:53 AM

count me in. I am sure I will be coming in the back door with a late pass for this one, but I am in.

naynay123 · 08-02-2011, 05:15 AM

Here's my "back door" entry to the challenge - just HAD to add orange and pink - it just SAYS summer fun, and what's a card without orange??!! I would like to send my card to a child, too. Send me an address!

I have my cards ready to go -- I have been reading up about my kids that I am posting to and seeing their photos -- wow -- tears big time -- all these beautiful children and so young -- so so sad. I had to stop reading case I was crying so much.

yabbadodo · 08-02-2011, 06:49 PM

Put your sunglasses on! This is bright. I not only can't count but it appears I don't know how to upload my card. I just put it in a thread all by itself. lol

There's something you should know, I'm a tea potter on the go!
And I really like sugar and spice and everythink sweet and pretty and nice,
like lace and things that are frilly, but fashion and sophistication on me.
That's just silly. Though yellow, green and blue, now that I can do!
And for a teaparty with you I've wishin, but today, I think I'll just go fishin'.
"Catch" you next rhyme! Wink Wink

Cindy, this was realy a very touching destination this week. I know they all are, but going through all those kids pages, was so sad...I hope you get everyone to send a card. My card is going to a little girl that has water on the brain and cannot speak. She like's carebears and bright colors. She is having her 10th birthday 8-24-11 so I'm going to send her another card for her b-day.

Thanks Cindy for ALL your hard work. Love this weeks destination. My card is for an 8 year old boy. One of his interests is Nascar. I had this digi image that I haven't used yet and thought it was perfect for him.
Racing by to say HI.

I just droped my card in our mail box in Apt. Bldg. now.

cotdsffs · 08-21-2011, 07:40 PM

I know the kids have all been covered, so I'm not sure how this is now working. But I picked two siblings from Michigan - Chayce and Keegan - to send this card to (I'm actually sending each child a card but the cards are identical.) I'm trying to catch up on my backlog of cards for the various tea parties!
