The CATCH was we were to not only make a BASEBALL card, but it had to be a "BASEBALL/doggie" card.
Can you believe in all the thousands of rubber stamps I own-I only had one SINGLE doggie stamp? It's a tiny, teenie, weenie dog(with spots), much too small for the front of my card, so he's on the inside(without his spots).
Our "tea party" cards are DOUBLE the fun now that they have a destination.
This "tea party" is a TRIPLE, as Andrew, his Family, and his Coach are following along on here to read and see our adventures this week.
Todays "tea party" promises to be a HOMERUN with all the cards, love, support, and get well wishes we are sending to Andrew!
My card to Andrew, from Michael(#13) and me, is loosely BASED on the song "CENTERFIELD". Here is the link to actually hear it performed by John Fogerty and Keith Urban:
If I were to keep going and touching all the BASES, I am sure I could come up with at least 42,000 more puns for everyone! But, since I don't want to STRIKE OUT while I'm in the BATTERS BOX...what? Did that UMPIRE just say STRIKE THREE YOU'RE OUT? That one wasn't even in the STRIKE ZONE! Well, it's back to the DUGOUT for me!
By the way..."Who's" on FIRST? "What's" on SECOND and "I don't know" is on THIRD!
Hear it for yourself on this link:
Accessories: Punches, Baseball Photo Corners, Sponge, Gel Pen, Colored Pencils, and Computer Also, special thanks to the Coach for giving us the Eagles website-parts of my card are straight from there!
