1. The teapot I am featuring this week was another gift I received from my friend in Kansas (LeAnn - N2Scrappin')! I love the color combination on this teapot and the lovely little doves! This is also one of my favorite shapes for a teapot! Thank you LeAnn for sending me this wonderful teapot! Thank you again, again, and again!!
2. This teapot reminds me of a botanical garden and I thought it might be fun to have a teaparty at one! Sabrina (cook22) was kind enough to invite us to Dublin, Ireland to one of her favorite places to relax and enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature. She was a brave soul to invite us to such a peaceful, calming, beautiful and wonderful place that is close to her heart!
3. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to bring a hat to the teaparty. If there are lots of birdies like I suspect there might be, a hat will keep the bird doo-doo off our heads! (Well, there are birdies on my teapot so there must be birdies at the Botanical Garden!) If you forgot your hat and got doo-dooed before you even made it to the entrance then you should come in the back door so as not to embarass Sabrina in her home surroundings!
If you would like to join our Tea Party or see the other cards in the Teapot Tuesday Parade visit my blog.
Thank you LeAnn!

Awwww, Cindy, what a wonderful idea to fly to Dublin, though it feels like it here, with the rain we're having. I can't wait to meet Sabrina in person. She sounds like a very elegant gal! Well, about this teapot, I just love it. The scene on it and on your card is almost identical! I wasn't going to say: "How do you do that?", but I will. How do you do that?
Magnifico, BRAVO, bellissimo and all that jazz! You know when I start speaking foreign languages, it means I'm high on your talent! Love it! See ya soon now... try and be quiet 'till I get there okay...

Oh Dublin! What a great time we are going to have with Sabrina as our hostess. When you bring your card with it's beautifully crafted birds and bouquet of flowers you will get to use the front door for sure so wear a very wide brimmed hat!

I'm so friggin' excited about flying to Dublin and meeting Sabrina on her turf today! Thanks for the wonderful opportunity, Cindy!
Your card is absolutely beautiful. Every time I see someone use this stamp set, I want it. I should probably order it, huh? Your doves are exquisite!
I know you have a tendency to make rather large cards, but please do not use this beauty to protect your hair from bird doo-doo. K? I know you have a lot on your plate, so this is your reminder to bring your hat!

I don't usually go on long flights, but I will today. Mainly because it goes so quickly when you are with friends....or pooping birdies. What fun to be had today at the gardens. Looking forward to meeting Sabrina. As I recall she blind sided me a couple of weeks ago. Hmmmm Lovely teapot, and teapot card Mothermark! Thanks again for hosting to fabulous event! TFS :0)

I too love this set. I think it is so perfect for this challenge. I am interested to see how this party transpires. I am hoping those flower nesting birds behave themselves. Super job and teapot.

Whew...I've made it through the day so far with no messes in my hair, other than the normal bad hair day, especially after that longg flight!
Your card is exquisite in detail, you achieved the relief pattern from the teapot amazingly well, and I too love your doves!!
Thanks for the fun party today, Cindy...how long a flight is it on the return? Can't we just wiggle our noses, cuz I really want to be in my own bed tonight!!
Wow, that is a gorgeous tea pot, and your card looks just like it! Beautifullly done! I tried all day to book a flight to Dublin, but I ended up stuck at the airport. I hope you all are still at the tea party when I get there!
