For today's teaparty we're heading off to California - to have tea with BertLady and her two cats who recently moved there - you can read the whole story here
As soon as I saw the two kitties on the teapot - I thought of this great picture of my own two cats - Scout and Boo (named after characters in To Kill a Mockingbird) Boo is the one in back and Scout is in front. They are litter sisters - but Boo is about 3 lbs heavier than Scout.
They are letting BertLady's cats know they will be missed! (apparently they really didn't want to move to CA!?!)
I used Mercy's Tuesday sketch for my card.
Our cards will be going to Bertie & her cats to help them feel at home in their new digs.

Your babies are beautiful, Julia, and it's so sweet of them to send a "missing you" card to Bertie's (not naughty Bertie, but TWO THUMBS UP, Bertie) babies.

Ok, ack! First, To Kill A Mockingbird is one of my favorite movies, so your kitties names just thrill me. And when I first saw your cards, I thought 'those kitties look so real!'... then I read on and see that they are! What a wonderful way to use a picture on a card! Thanks so much for sharing, Julia!
