Beulah Ferris�s Day Off I've watched you now a full half-hour; Self-poised upon that yellow flower And, little Butterfly! Indeed I know not if you sleep or feed. How motionless! - not frozen seas More motionless! and then What joy awaits you, when the breeze Hath found you out among the trees, And calls you forth again!
William Wordsworth, "To a Butterfly"
Beulah Ferris wanted nothing more than a day off. She was tired of flitting about pollinating so many colorful flowers. Being an exquisitely beautiful butterfly is hard work She needed a vacation before she went berserk.
Beulah needed a relaxing rest Just once, to be treated like a guest One single day to bask in the sun was her idea of ultimate fun. If she had no work to do She�d just land and enjoy the view. Stop and sip some nectar. Not have to travel too far. No worries about some kid catching her in a jar!
When you need something done Just call on the Teapotters We�re a group that likes to have fun We�re as busy as hungry otters. Teapotters to the Rescue! Isn�t that what we do? You can always count on us Feed us cookies and we won�t make a fuss.
Our mission is to bring flowers that a tired, overworked butterfly can rest on. If you bring a friend for Beulah that she can land next to and talk to butterfly style that would be good, too.
CHALLENGE TRANSLATION: Bring flowers and butterflies. Extra cookies if you include encouraging Scripture.

I didn't have time to make a new card for Brenda because I was home in Orlando visiting with family this past weekend. But I have lots of butterfly cards in my stash so I'm sure I have something appropriate to send!
scrappinmama72inpa thanks for bringing this girl up to our attention!

I'm afraid I had to cheat a little today. This card was already made previously and I had not used it nor did it have a sentiment. Insde now had the verse: For nothing is impossible with God Luke 1:37
I just wanted to get one in the mail and it fit the flowers and butterflies: CC366 daffodil party parade by angelsparkly - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
I'm such a bad teapotter. I was supposed to have my card ready for Fran before the cheater email went out. I got sidetracked with the first week of homeschool with my daughter. Bad Teapotter..Bad Teapotter...
But I did get Brenda's card made. I want to thank all you ladies who are sending me cards to send along to Brenda. She is having a very hard time. She's in a rehab center learning to walk again and use her left hand again. She is speaking some, but it's going to be a long road for her. She is going to love all the cards and kind words. Thanks so much.
Hi Ladies,
I have been through the gallery and I can't believe all the beautiful cards that you ladies have made for Brenda. She is going to be overwhelmed. I received the first card today. My mailbox should be starting to overflow with love for Brenda soon. I can't wait for her to receive the package with all these cards in them. Thanks so much for putting so much care and love into the cards you made. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
