1. This awesome teapot is so cool! It's another teapot that I got from my friend in Kansas LeAnn (N2Scrappin')! It's amazing! It spins on a lazy Susan thingy and has about five different little scenes on it. I think I might have to do a series of cards ! (Don't cheat and try to get a peek at the parts I was trying to hide!) Snort! Thank you LeAnn!!! You just absolutely have spoiled me to no end!
2. So my weekend in the cabin in the mountains with my SCS buddies is over. We had a blast up in Steamboat Springs and although we didn't get to wrestle with the bears (they never showed up those party poopers!) we did get to see some other wildlife, moose, deer, elk, coyote, fox, antelope and wolf. Most of that was on the drive up to the cabin. I personally missed most of that because I was yacking with Joanne (jojot)! But, the highlight of my personal wildlife viewing of the weekend was when I spotted a penquin in the back of the cabin when I was looking out a window upstairs! None of the other girls saw it because they did not bother to come up the stairs to look out the window and because they also suggested that it might be a magpie!. Well, seeing a penquin in the wild made me think it might be fun to do some bird watching at the teaparty.
3. So, bring your binoculars, your khaki shorts, vest with lots of pockets and bug repellant cuz we are going bird watching at the teaparty. Oh yeah, I know you guys like to wear boots to fancy occasions so feel free to wear your hiking, bird watching, red carpet tromping stompers! Oh yeah, and if anyone sounds like a baby elephant tromping through the forest scaring all the birds off, you gotta come in the backdoor!
If you would like to join the tea party bird watching or see the other Teapot Tuesday card visit my glob here.
Thank you LeAnn!

Your Highness, you've done it again, HeeHee! Too cute and another outstanding job! You do have one wild imagination, I must say though I would have made it up the stairs to see that penquin. Are you sure it wasn't an old crow with a white vest on? So much for the bad humor, I love your card and thanks for sharing it with the Kansan.

This is by far my favorite teapot so far. I love birds. I just did a bird image this morning.. Rats I should have looked here first. Now I get to make a second one.. LOVE your card. What an amazing card. Such a great inspiration piece.. You have sweet friends with great teapot taste. So glad you made it out of the woods.

I dunno.....this looks pretty shady to me, and your story even shadier! Bwaaa-haaa-haaa! I'm gonna have to Google magpie; do they look like penguins? I'm so confused.
What a really cool teapot, and your replication of the birdhouse is amazing! Beautiful!
Oh, yeah...I don't want to forget in case you haven't had an opportunity to check your Miss Green M&M card, but make sure you read my request in my posted comment. K?

You didn't happen to try some of Dawn's *fun* tea did you? That might explain the penguin sighting. You really have a winner this week. Love the teapot, love your card. Super job. TFS :0)

Hi Cindy. My boots are quiet I think I can come in the front door. Also I don't have any noisy birds with me they seem to be asleep in their houses or out partying. I have some cake from last week to share, thanks to you.
I am so happy for you that you got to get away with some awesome GFs. Your card is amazing. You really captured the essence of this teapot. It's got it GOING ON for sure. I'd love to see the other sides, are you sure I can't take a peek. I won't tell.
