Once again, mothermark has challenged us with a great teapot! I think I came pretty close - even created an awning. I had a cart - well, I admit it is full of veggies, but there are plenty of flowers, too, so I should make it through the front door this time. After all, veggies are pretty good for all of us and they are nice and colorful.
I have a personal interest in the destination this week. Betty is a friend of mine, the former manager of the RV park where we have spent a lot of time. She has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. The doctors are not overly optimistic. We hope these cartloads of flowers will cheer her.
Dh suggested I cut a slit in the cloud for the sun- since I was trying to figure out how to turn that flower into sunshine!
I put her fifth wheel in the corner, and added a road map for guidance. Our prayers are with you and your family, Betty.
I have already sent the card, along with an attempt to describe the teapotters!

Thanks for bringing Betty to our attention Dorothy. You have brought a lot of love with your card, especially the roadmap and the RV. She will love your card and the description you have sent. How does one explain the teapotters? She will be so touched.

Dorothy what a wonderful card you have made for your friend Betty. You added such special touches to this. Your DH had a great idea for that flower, it sure makes a super sun! Love your flower/veggie cart. I didn't even realize those were veggies until I read your write up. WOW card Dorothy. Love it! TFS :0)

You have created a beautiful scene for your friend, and so personal too, with the RV insertion. I love the wheelbarrow with flowers! Love the sunshine peeking out of the clouds too!
