Default MMTPT325~October 21, 2014~A Better Place

Welcome to Teapot Tuesday
the Sisterhood of the Traveling Teaparty
and Challenge #325


A Better Place


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.


No crazy story this week. Sometimes life just isn't fair and seems to take the wind out of our sails. When that happens, it is good to have loving thoughts coming your way from across town or across country. We can garner strength from the comfort of prayers offered and thoughts voiced. It helps to know that while we feel that the world has stopped revolving, there are others that will take up the yoke until we are able to pull the load again.

A Better Place

She�s in a better place right now
Than she�s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she�s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.

It�s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.

We know we�ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life�s road;
We�ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

By Joanna Fuchs



Challenge Translation:

Soothing and comforting is what the plan is this week. Bring along the calm seas, the shining sun, the light breezes and the sounds of gulls. Nature has a way of calming the pain in any soul.

Destination Station:

This week our cards are going to Orlando FL if you wish a destination for your card. How about sending it to the family of this lovely young lady who left this earth to soon. Her family was brought to our attention by our own Teapotterville resident RJP111

to find out why as well as get the address to mail your card, please visit post 428 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!

Be sure to you use KEYWORD MMTPT325 in your upload and post a comment here so we can all see your card!

Here is a quick link to the MMTPT325 challenge gallery

Ever want to get a jump on next week's challenge card? SCS has given Sheri (KSNurse) permission to create an email Teapot Tuesday Cheater Group and email the challenge out on the Saturday before the Tuesday of the challenge so you girls can have the weekend to make your card. Send her 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.


Thank you from Robin and I

I'll be heading out for a visit with my Mom and Aunt, but I will get a card in the mail ASAP! I'm taking the address with me.

What a sad time it is for Shawna's family. I read on her Facebook page that she passed away on 14th of this month. I don't think it is appropriate for me to send a card that won't arrive for another 3 weeks. I will make an extra card for my HYCCT pile and think of Shawna. See you all next week. xx

Here is mine. This card was extra special to me while I was making it. Even though it has been over 35 years, since I lost my sons, I still have two extra special cards that a friend sent me. The only thing she put in both cards was "praying for you". These cards just said it all.

Not at all. I would love to send a card if I thought it would arrive in a timely manner. It is such a difficult time for families, I don't think there is ever a right or wrong thing to do.

No, it is not too late! Please send a card, if you feel led to do so.

My brother and his family are now in the hardest part (*IMO) of the grieving process. Shawna Rae's funeral service & memorial are over and the rest of the world is getting on with life. My brother & his family are having to face the fact that the world keeps turning even though it feels as though theirs has ended. Receiving cards now lets them know that people are still thinking about and praying for them.


(*That was my experience, anyway, when my husband passed away a few years ago)

Default Always in my Heart MMTPT325

I just put my card in the mail to Florida. My heart aches for the family and friends. I tried to link this to my card and failed. Anyway, it's in the mail and it's in the gallery. Don't forget to tell those you hold dear, just how much you love them.
