1. Okay, so this is two weeks in a row that I have not used an actual teapot for my inspiration. But I could not resist this week! I got this adorable little minature pillow in the mail from Peggy (marilynprestonn) along with a wonderful card and some really fun stamping supplies! Thank you so much Peggy for your generous gift! I loved everything you sent!
2. Peggy called it a pin cushion but I am a little nervous putting pins in it and bringing it to the tea party! Especially because our tea parties seem to end up getting a little rowdy and I was worried about a pillow fight breaking out! Pins in the pillow would not be a good thing! So I am calling it a teapot pillow! If you are so inclined, you can bring pillows to the tea party but if you do, you'll have to come in the back door!
3. The whole time I was making this card I was thinking about two things! Even though this is not a Brick House, I kept thinking about that song by Lionel Ritchie, She's a Brick House!! Snort! The second thing I was thinking about was House. What is the deal with that guy? He is the biggest jerk ever but there is just something about him, something that you just can't help but like!! Hmmm....interesting!

Well sweet Madam Cardmaker by Excellence...ouch! This is just amazing. Very pretty house card. Truly Cindy, this is so pretty, I keep taking a look at the one that is bigger and love the details. I just know you put your heart in this card as every one you do. BRAVO AND BELISSIMO! Yeah, that's me, I get talking Italian, Spanish and French when I run out of vocabulary in English. LOL
Thanks for sharing, I am so happy you love the pillow, yeah a bit big for a pin cushion, I suppose. But the moment I saw it, I knew you were getting it. Glad you like it, and if I must repeat myself (do I have to...) it's just amazing, now please don't expect me to try anything like this now.
Look for me soon, I'll be coming along for tea any second, minute,hour...or day now. LOL Love ya Cindy, you are just too cute for me!

I love the pillow pincushion. It's darling and your card is the greatest - such detail. Just remember to take the pins out of the pincushion before you use it as a pillow, we don't want polka dots where they don't belong!

Aw, I remember Peggy telling me about this pillow when she found it! She was so tickled, and I love what you have done with it. Brick house? Yikes- that sounds like something from the 80's! Lol- yeah, it was a goody, but nuthin' compared to your card. Sweet!
