Welcome to Teapot Tuesday and Challenge #59
Tea with Uncle Beeford Bumble and The Boys!
This is my story!
1. Is this not the cutest little teapot on the face of the earth? I got this awesome little teapot from my friend, LeAnn. LeAnn (N2Scrappin') has mailed me several teapots but this one she hand delivered! Yep, she and her hubby drove through Loveland on their way to the SU convention (well not really, it was sorta out of their way a little!) and we spent about an hour together at a local restaurant! It was fun! She is a kick and now I know why she refers to herself as the Quack from Kansas! No wonder we get along so well! Snort! Thanks LeAnn! Hope convention was fun!
2. I had an e-mail from Uncle Beeford Bumble when I got back from Tosh's last week. (see last week's story here) He's is not my uncle, I don't know who's Uncle he is! Uncle Beeford was forced to go into a career as a Bee Keeper cuz his parents, The Bumbles, made the stupid mistake of naming him Beeford instead of Buford! He has always been a success in this line of work because of his name. Things are a little different now because Uncle Beeford's bees have gone missing! That is except for about 12 and those 12 he lovingly calls "The Boys". They have stuck around and have promised Beeford they will help him bring some bees back!
3. Well, a couple of The Boys were out in California trying to round up some bees for Beeford and when they were stinging a couple of California cow butts, they got wind of a group of Tea Partiers that will pretty much supply any kinda critters asked of them as long as they are rewarded with tea and goodies!
4. So Beeford Bumble and The Boys are supplying the tea (with honey!) and treats and we are off to Booneville, Mississippi! Bring your bees girls, as many as you can, and maybe something to throw over your face! Oh and Beeford told me to tell you all not to google African Killer Bees. He doesn't want anything ruining his tea party! Snort! And if you simply cannot resist, then you gotta come in the back door!

Ever want to get a jump on next week's challenge card? I am posting a sneak peak (tea peak) on my blog each week showing you a glimpse of the following week's teapot as well as a hint of the story! It's at the end of the Teapot Tuesday Post each week. Be sneaky and get a jump on the other tea-potters! Snort!
And may I attest to the fact that I LOVE DA MUDDERMARK'S TEA PARTIES!!! We have so much good-natured fun, and it has really inspired me to really think about what I want to do for a particular challenge making me stretch my wings a bit.
Thank you so very much for your consistently fabulous inspirations and the fun week-long parties. Our travel adventures are always wonderfully surprising and ever so entertaining! Big hugs to you MM!

Thanks SCSers for all your encouragement!
Fantastic idea to have your own forum thread, Cindy! I will be looking forward to the posts here each Tuesday!
Here is the card I made for today's tea party: MMTPT59 The Bee's Knees by cmsuto at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks for the fun and inspiration!
Here's Great Uncle Bartholemew, saying Be Happy.
I worked out why Charlene's bees are schockered - the honey in their hive must have fermented and turned into mead. Isn't mead honey based? It's certainly fairly potent, from what a friend says. I am sure that Uncle Beeford wouldn't have sent you a sauce with undesirable side effects. I mean, imagine going round with a red nose just after sauce!
Seeing how sociable the tea parties have become lately, I think moving here might be a good idea.

YAAAAY! Sabrina is moving to the USA!!!! Can't wait to meet you!
(Pssst! My nose will not be red---heh-heh)
This is such a fun challenge to do. However, all my bee stamps have flown the hive so I had to improvise with sunflowers to try to draw them back. HEre is my entry ...
Here is my entry for the Teapot tuesday challenge. I am so proud to be linking my card here today for the first of many I can just feel it in the air!!!!
Cindy, I am so very happy that you threaded this challenge, now if you need any help in hosting, know that I can be available for you when you can't. I can find teapots in my family, my best friends collects them. So you keep that in mind whenever you need a helping hand okay.
Is there any other qualifications we need to guest-host...well, I can snort, giggle and whisper too.;)
Wow! A thread for the tea parties! WhoooHoooo! Cindy, your time and effort and wonderful sense of humor is so appreciated! Here is my card for today's party.

Well, thanks to all of you, I have been made aware that I have been majorly snookered! I brought bunnies dressed as bees! To make up for my blunder, I went out and found some real beeezzz! My new card is HERE.

Congratulations!!! Cindy this is fabulous. If I brought my crystal ball to this week's teaparty, I would see a lot of wonderful wacky creations in our future!!!
But then again I don't really need a crystal ball for that.
Cindy, this is soooooo exciting that you have your own thread and hopefully will move into the challenge forum. This is such a fun challenge and felow teapartiers are the best. I am addicted to Teapot Tuesday. BEE-low is the link to my card HAPPY BEE-DAY! MMTPT59 Happy BEE day! by lisa lara at Splitcoaststampers
I am glad Cindy pointed this out. I seldom find threads like this on my own LOL!
And I must say, these bees are feeling kind of insulted that Cindy called them the 3 stoogies. They got all dressed up in their finest - even gold polka dots, and then to have to hear something like that....I need to let them know you need to be prepared for just about anything around here.
Oh Cindy this is so wonderful! I am so excited for you and for all of us! Teapot Tuesday is the funnest challenge around! And you are one of the most impressive card crafters ever! I am grateful that I found you and all the tea partiers!

You got me hooked..A non story teller has become one, I think... anyway.. it is so much fun to see what your going to come up with each week, and just where we will be going to for our beloved cup of special tea with new and old friends...

I heard the buzzzzz. There's a new Challenge Thread for Teapot Tuesday - how wonderful. I followed the trail and here I bee!! This is definitely the funnest place to be on Tuesdays - or any day as these parties tend to blossom. Cindy, you're the best hostess!
Yay for you, Cindy!! How wonderful to have your challenge on a thread here!! The teaparties have grown so much just since I have started, so this makes perfect sense!! WooHoo!!!
Happy to hear we have a thread for our TPT challenges now. Sounds like fun. I wanted to do a card today, but had new phone and internet installed today and it has been a nightmare.
Well - here I am at the tea party - only 58 challenges late! but I finally made it - and I brought along 2 bees to help Uncle Beeford in Booneville repopulate his hives - I think these ladies are quite attractive - even if they are a little bleached out!?!?! Happy to see the challenge thread here on SCS!!!!
