Happy Tuesday everyone. It is time for another teaparty. This week our destination is DeKalb, Illinois. If you would like a destination for your card this week, how about sending it to Marlene. Marlene is the mother of Fellow Teapotter Gabby (Gabalot). Marlene has had a difficult life with many serious and difficult health issues beginning at the early age of just 24. After reading the information written about Marlene in the Destination Station post, you will understand why Marlene is discouraged and feeling a little down as she faces more surgery in the weeks to come. She is finding it difficult to get into the spirit of Christmas. We can bring that Spirit of Christmas to Marlene in true Teapotter style be sending her festive cards with hopeful, encouraging messages. Here is the link to the teaparty. I hope you will come and join us and send Marlene some happy mail.
This is also for last weeks Queen for the day challenge. Our sister teapotter "Pam MacKay" was given the honor of becoming our latest Queen " Congrats Pam". Here is the card that inspired me IC319 Valentine
I changed mine from a Valentines card to a Christmas card. I hope you are enjoying your reign - Queen Pam.
This will also work for this months fan club - "Hang it all"
Thanks for looking,
Hugs..Pat

Just gorgeous! I love the frame and how the beautiful embossed ornament is hanging from the tree branch. The lovely sewn border and glittery stars are wonderful touches too.
