MMTPT422~August 23, 2016~In The Garden of Love, You'll Grow Lots of Hugs
Welcome to Teapot Tuesday
the Sisterhood of the Traveling Teaparty
and Challenge #422
In The Garden of Love, You'll Grow Lots of Hugs
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!
The Rest of the Story:
1: No silly story this week. There is a limit to my craziness (there are some who would argue but they are family so who listens to them anyway....Pfffft) I can't do silly for times like this. Anne Ryan lost her husband recently and we need to show her our support.
2: By Author Unknown:
To say goodbye's impossible forever,
And yet we must too soon exchange goodbyes.
No magnitude of love when someone dies
Can manage the immensity of never.
Yet even death cannot our friendship sever
Though you may rest somewhere beyond our sighs
And all the talk of afterlife be lies.
Eternity is our brief glimpse of ever.
Even as each breeze must alter time
And each unruly rock reshape the sea,
So love lasts beyond our consciousness.
Each pulse of life's a piece of the sublime,
A breath so full of grace it cannot be,
A wave that ripples endlessly through darkness.
Challenge Translation:
Loving thoughts and gentle words of support. Lots of hugs of the paper kind are needed
Destination Station:
This week our cards are going to NC. If you would like a destination for your card, how about sending it to SCSr Anne.

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.
I'm gonna work on a card today for Ann. She always leaves a ton of encouraging comments in the gallery. I hope we are able to fill her mailbox to overflowing!!!

Comments in the DTGD winners thread brought me here - I made a card for that challenge which I will send to Anne. She has been so supportive - as noted in previous comments.
I just sealed and stamped my card.....before taking a picture! I have done this before! I guess as long as it is going out, that's the most important part!
I am so pleased to learn that members are sending cards to our precious Anne! I knew he had passed earlier this month, but I wanted to respect her privacy and didn't mention it. I am so happy that someone initiated this effort. I sent Anne a card early last week; however, I didn't post it. Thanks, Sheri! I plan to send her another card, and maybe I'll post it.
I am so glad I saw a mention about this in another gallery. In my own time of need cards from the SCS gang touched me deeply and I have kept each and every one of them. This is a wonderful tribute to a kind and very classy lady. Anne, sending my love to you. I will get working on a card and hope I remember to post it here.

I will be sending a card to Anne today from my stash of sympathy cards. Actually, I recently made a card, and her comment was that it was one a SCS would love to receive, and I still have it, so she will be receiving it! I just checked this post so I was not aware of her husband's passing till now. So sorry for Anne's loss....she always makes me giggle with her comments, and she is a very uplifting, positive person~

I know that quite a few of us have already sent cards to Anne. With all of these beautiful TPT cards, our sweet friend is sure to know how much she means to us, especially at this heartbreaking time. xx

Gosh. I'm thankful to have come to this challenge thread today. It's a good reminder to send another message of support & love to our Anne. What a beautiful poem shared ... thank you for that as well.
It's a blessing to reach out to Anne who has always left the kindest and most thoughtful comments in my gallery. I was inspired by her love of the Asian theme on cards.
I don't know Anne (yet) but must send a card. My mom died of cancer almost a year ago leaving my dad a widower after 62 years of marriage! I certainly feel for Anne!!! -Angie
