I've read and read all the craziness that goes on week after week in MM's crazy zany teapot travels, but it was Broom's "Back Door Bucky" that just pushed me right over the edge. That girl is some kinda story teller ... yikes!
Anyway, I want you to meet my precious and well cared for Bruno, the Brute. Yes, I know he's sittin' pretty in his newly recovered victorian chair. Oh, BTW, there's this company called Stampin Up or something similar to that who did this fabulous chair redo. Dont be fooled by Bruno's lavish space. His marvelously exquisite Victorian Chair rests alongside his many palm trees in his sunroom. These are for those 'unexpected' occasions. Bruno simply doesnt like to go outside when it's hot, cold, warm, rainy, wintery, sunny, cloudy or basically anytime.
But, alas, I do believe Bruno's tired of sitting on the side lines. Yup, he's ready, willing and able to join in those silly ventures to make sure they're on the up and up, if you catch my drift!
See you next week everyone, and if I were you, I'd be a little more than scared with my buddy getting involved in this whole scene/scheme!
Thanks Peggy-Sue for the SU paper!
Thanks too to Whim6915 for the black bling!
Thanks to Mutnik, I'm adding this to the WT255 challenge because Bruno himself is embroidered on guess what ? ... white muslin!
Have a good one, everyone!

Oh man, Oh man . . . Anne, this is brilliantly done. I have to say that as much as it hurts to do so. That dog just jumps off the screen at me. It looks so 3-D!! What an awesome chair and I LOVE the palm tree and your gorgeous bow which was NOT MADE WITH A BOW EASY!!! LOL!!! LOVE the paper piecing on the chair . . . I could go on and on, but I think I've made myself quite clear that I LOVE this one Ms. Anne!! I'd go on, but I simply must get to another Valentine card and my pledge to myself to do at least 5 Christmas cards a month!! LOL!!! Don't worry, I'm going to duplicate, so I won't be uploading 5 different Christmas cards, so don't get into a panic okay!! Hugs!! TFS!

There you are! Guess you took me up on that double dawg dare! And you brought along a dawg to boot! What a fun little card with ole Bruno the Brute hanging in his favorite chair! I love his palm tree too. I hope that Bruno will behave at the tea parties but if he doesn't, so what else is new? Snort! He'll just fit right in, right?
We just might need to be extra careful when cats are involved! I am so happy you finally showed up! And we don't have to push you off the fence! Giggle!
Precious card Anne...now come on over here, let me show ya where the treats are and ya, we can probably find a big juicy bone for widdo Bwuno!

Whoo hoo - Anne has joined the madness! And better yet, she's brought along her bodyguard, Bruno. Rumor has it he's a big ole' brute, but I got a feeling he's a softie at heart. Look at that marvelous embroidered coat he's wearing. A sign of gentility if you ask me (not that you did, of course).
Love your card Anne, and I'm so glad you've joined us!

Well there you are Anne! and you've brought a friend - just don't let him drool in the tea! Although it might actually help mask the taste of the pond scum that was added earlier!
Cute cute card Anne - love the chair and of course the cute dog sittin pretty!

Aw...Bruno is adorable! And just what we needed at the tea party too, ya know... to keep out the 'undesirables'. (For shame!) That chair is gorgeous, and I love that classy palm tree! Looks like a fancy-schamcy hotel! TFS
