WELCOME TO TEAPOT TUESDAY
THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING TEAPARTY
AND CHALLENGE #116
YOU'RE HIRED? ~ YOU'RE WIRED? ~ YOU'RE TIRED?
WELL, NOW YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Note: Anyone is welcome to play! Also, you do not have to write a story. You just have to be inspired by the teapot or by the story about this week's location! Have fun! If this is your first Teapot Tuesday Challenge, please mention that in your commentary so we can be sure to greet you!
This is my story!
1. Its funny to read the comments on my cards from time to time about the number of teapots I have posted on Tuesdays. Now, don't get me wrong, I have a whole lotta teapots (I quit counting) and I even have quite a bunch I have not featured yet! But, I don't own all the teapots that I have featured! I had a comment from Judy (aka StampingQueenJar) about how she thinks we might need to build a whole new wing on our house just to house my teapots! Snort! Well, Judy I must admit, I am not the proud owner of all of these teapots! As I truly would not have room for them all! Many of them have been searched out on the internet to coordinate with a fun teaparty idea or something inspired by the Destination Station! Whew! I guess I don't have to build a new wing on my house after all! Giggle!
2. Yep, it's Donald Duck! Whut? You didn't think he would look this good after all these years? Well, Donald is one Disney Dude that has really adapted to the times! As a matter of fact, he's gotten quite carried away, outa control, and hard to handle! Most Disney characters are old schoolers! They shy away from the internet, texting, twittering or face booking! But not Donald! He's a little overboard these days. He's 42,000 years old and he is annoying and causing huge issues for 42,000 of his fellow Disney Mates. Not to mention the issues he causes the staff members! What is his problem you ask? His problem is our mission!!
3. Here's the skinny, Minnie! Donald is totally 100% obsessed by The Donald! Yah, you got it, Donald Trump! Go figure! He has taken 42,000 courses in real estate development and has become quite the go-to guy for advice around Disney World! He's always on his cell phone, he's twittin' here and twittin' there, he wines and dines the three piece suits in expensive and lavish restaurants and he has acquired quite a knack for firing people! You guessed it! You're Fired! The problem is, because of his newly acquired wealth, he actually bought Disney World from Walt and he is the boss! So when he says they gotta go, they gotta go! I know what you guys are thinking, how could anybody take that goofy little Donald Duck seriously. He's a little pip squeek with a dorky little voice! Well, he's a bad, bad duck now. He has taken 42,000 very successful voice lessons and now he no longer sounds like this, he sounds like this. Yikes!
4. The Donald has literally fired the entire staff at Disney World! And what staff that remains and is barely hanging on, is on the virge of walking out! Now, the only way this deal is gonna get resolved is if a whole bunch of new Disney Mates show up, get hired by The Donald himself cuz well, you know, he needs to be in control! Then once hired, they can proceed as normal doing what they do in the land of Disney! We need Minnie and Mickey, Pluto and Daffy, Daisey Duck, Dumbo, Pooh and Brer Bear. We need Robbin Hood, Snow White, Tarzan and Tigger! We need Chicken Little, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and Lady and the Tramp! We need the Dalmations, Peter Pan, Pinocchio and Alice in Wonderland! We need Tinker Bell, Nemo, Pocahontas and some The Pirates. Long story short, if you have seen it at Disneyland, its been fired, and we need it now!
And if you bring another Donald Duck to the teaparty at Disney World then its Plan B, through the back-door as one Duck is quite the handful. Thank you very much!
Teapot Tuesday Destination Station #116:
This week's destination is Hobe Sound, Florida! We will bringing Disney World to Lynette Watson. Now you might think Lynette is a little kid as she loves Disney World, but she's a grown woman who loves children and Disney World, and preferaby together!
Lynette has struggled terribly with cancer and was recently hospitalized once again. She started out with cancer of her hand, then of her colon, and now her lungs. Oh, and did I tell you she cares for her husband who has Parkinson's Disease and she works! She is the medical receptionist at the doctor's office where Charlene (cookiebaker) goes in Florida. Now be on your best behavior cuz we are visiting Lynette at the Doctor's office and even though we have been invited for tea, we can't get too rowdy, there's patients that need to be seen!
For more information including a link to Lynette Watson's Caring Bridge site as well as the address for the doctor's office, click here on Post #144 in the Teapot Tuesday Destination Station thread, should you decide to send your challenge card to encourage and brighten the day for Lynette! Please remember that just because you participate in a Teapot Tuesday challenge that is combined with a card drive request, it does not mean that you are REQUIRED to send your cards. It is strictly voluntary.
Here is my card ~ Quack, Quack, I Got Your Back! Just Kiddin'!
Be sure to you use KEYWORD MMTPT116 in your upload and post a comment here so we can all see your card!
Ever want to get a jump on next week's challenge card? I am posting a sneak peak (tea peek) 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. I usually post it a couple days after the Tuesday Challenge is posted. So, be sneaky and get a jump on the other tea-potters! Snort!
If you are confused about these challenges, see the first sticky post of this thread for more information. There is also a directory of individual challenges. Feel free to grab this I survived Teapot Tuesday Badge for your blog!
Well, I had a great stamp for this one and so I did it this week! What a great story! This is second time I have ever done it. What is the code for the keyword? I found it! LOL
Hi, I am not part of your group...yet. I am trying to learn how this all works. I just wanted to throw this out there. (although I don't know if I'm allowed seeing I'm not a group member) I used to work for a University where we would have a MadHatters teaparty. Have ya'll done any cards that had to do with this? I would love to see them if you have.
Oh, Oh, Oh....I loooooooove Disney World.....I just hope theres enough nurses at that office when we get there for the teaparty....As of 2100 when I walked out the back door, I'm officially on vacation and I sure don't want them puttin me to work when I'm there lookin for Mickey....I'll be bringin some of his favoritest cheesecake tarts....
Cindy..thank you soooo much for choosing Lynette as this week's Teapot Destination Station! She has more challenges than any one person should have to deal with; yet she's always thinking of others and always has a smile on her face.
Ladies, I looked at all of your cards. Very nicely done. Sorry I didn't leave any comments, however, I wanted to see them all. If I were to leave a message on every one of them...I'd be here all night. Nice work!!!
Hop over to the Birthday Bash thread and leave birthday cards, presents and cake there for Cindy, who didn't include her own name for us to raise a pinky to
Yikes, I don't have anything Disney here, no stickers, no nuttin'. I do have a Winnie-the-Pooh teapot, I guess I'll be getting the camera out when I get home from work, if I don't come up with any bright ideas while I'm out. Or maybe I could smuggle in another mermaid to deputise for Ariel.
I am new to the "teaparty" group. Thank you for letting me join in. I will be putting my card up a bit later today, however, I wanted to say Happy Birthday to the birthday girls. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Oh Mudder!
You won't believe it, but Chicken Little is a brand new Hen! She's settled, raising a family, and bringing them to do their duty with helping at Disney! Thank goodness that chick is no longer hysterical!

Welcome Dani! Can't wait to see your card! Don't let the teapottes skeer you off today........they are a rowdy bunch! But be careful, you might just fit in! Tee hee!
I think it may be time to call the HOME and tell them to get my room ready. If this is any indication of what my day is gonna be like, maybe I should go back to bed....or drink!!
I had 42,000 moments to consider what to do for this challenge, and my brain said, "we're going with this".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MUDDER. I'm back! We girls in North America have it good. Craft stores everywhere. I always come home with crafting goodies from my travels. Who knew Greece, Turkey, Russia, and The Ukraine had no craft shops. Ephesus Turkey has been there for 5000 years but not even a sticker to be found! I do have enough photos to put even the most patient person to sleep and saw the most amazing things, however, it is great to be back home. Missed the teaparties, and had some strange tea while away. Tea at Disneyland is perfect for today.
If Cruella couldn't get rid of the Dalmatians then The Donald is no match. Here is my card for the Teaparty (The dots are for you Mudder) ALL 101 OF YOU ARE FIRED

Can someone quickly tell me when I am uploading my card...which gallery should I choose?
Hi Dani!
You just upload your card to your own member gallery and then put MMTPT116 in keywords...that is what sorts your card to the teapot tuesday gallery. So you don't really pick anything special...just your own gallery! Okay?
ok I uploaded my card. Please go easy on me. I am a teaparty virgin. Please let me know if I am understanding the concept here. So far, ya'll are a blast. Oh and Happy Birthday to the birthday girls.

Hi DellsDani, If you have a Mac I can help you link your card to this thread, if you have any other kind of computer someone else can jump in and help. Mac has a different path to link.
Cheers, Elizabeth
