MMTPT138 ~ ARE YOU OUTA YOUR GOURD? I ORDERED A FORD!
 

Note: Anyone is welcome to play! You automatically become a Teapotter the first time you play in our challenge. 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 properly, in pure Teapot Tuesday fashion! Your participation in Destination Station is 100% voluntary and not at all required. Just have fun!

This is my story!

1. Are you wondering how we ended up with a Chef this week? Well, I am too! How does this happen? I know you all wanted new cars! I guess the cousin of the friend of the sister of the teapotter's mother's brother's wife who's uncle's cousin's brother's best friend said he could hook us up, couldn't! Our special pricing on new cars has turned into an extra breadstick if they aren't burnt!

2. Meet MUSTANG Sally and Delores TAURUS! As evidenced by their names, their father is a die hard SUPER-DUTY FORD man who is frustrated because his daughters drive their FORDS around living their life like it's a FIESTA! They ESCAPE responsibility, live on the EDGE, and despite their father's FLEXibility, they can't seem to FOCUS on getting jobs and settling down! That's it! Their EXPEDITION in fun is over, he's driving his F-150 down to the FORD Dealer that he spends $42,000 a week at and making some demands! Either they hire his daughters or he's taking his business elsewhere. It's that simple!


3. As you can well imagine, MUSTANG Sally and Delores TAURUS know they can throw their weight around, they are the daughter's of the best Ford customer after all! That's why Marco Mancini, the incredible Italian hunk they recently met is the newest car salesman! He doesn't know a thing about cars but look at him! Does that really matter? Well, no, it didn't, not until their father ordered a new car and Marco drove up in a Chevy!

Are You Outa Your Gourd? I Ordered A Ford!
I Know You're Adored, But It's Not Quite a Ford!
To Get Off The Hook, I Hope You Can Cook!

Turns out their father is having a little get together of his closest friends to watch the Boston Bruins! This Italian hunk better know how to cater and cook or learn quick from a book!

4. Guess what? Marco can't cook and he can't find a book but he's really quite wise as he found a disquise. Looking quite different, with fat and a hat, he knows in his heart, he can play this Chef part. Rut roh! Time to get create a diversion! According to MUSTANG Sally and Delores TAURUS, these are the things that will keep their father's mind off the shortcomings of their Italian hunk! Bring cars, any kind just pretend they are Fords! Bring food, any kind, Italian is good, but Steak and Crab would be fab! Bring anything hockey, Boston Bruin or any. Bring football or gardening so his mood won't be hardening! Bring books or some cooks, don't worry about their looks! Bring what you can find to keep Marco off his mind!

If you drive out to the levy and bring a nice Chevy, its the back door for you!

CHALLENGE TRANSLATION!
Bring a masculine card. Bring cars, trucks, any kind. Bring hockey, football and gardening. Bring food, books, or cooks!

Destination Station #138

This week's destination is Brampton, Ontario. We will be sending our cards to Kim, the cousin of fellow SCSer/Teapotter Laurie (Virgo05). Kim was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with stage 4 prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. Kim is young, only 41. A recent bone scan showed the cancer is in his arms, legs, spine & pelvis. Kim was relieved to find it had not spread to his other organs. He considers this a good sign. Kim has started radiation treatment as well as hormone therapy and he continues to remain positive yet realistic!

For more information including the address to mail your card, please visit the Post #193 in the Teapot Tuesday Destination Station thread, should you decide to send your challenge card to Kim. 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.

Here is the awesome card that Laurie made for her cousin, Kim.

Here is a Quick Link to the Teapot Tuesday #138 Challenge Gallery .

Be sure to you use KEYWORD MMTPT138 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? SCS has given me permission to create an email Teapot Tuesday Cheater Group and email the challenge out on the Friday before the Tuesday of the challenge so you girls can have the weekend to make your card. Send me a pm with your email address if you wanna be a Cheater! If you dont' want to cheat, I am posting a sneak 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. I usually post it sometimes during the weekend before the next Tuesday!

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!

Another worthy recipient, Cindy. So sad how cancer is affecting SO many good people. Hope my card brings Kim some cheer.

Hope every sender remembers to add extra postage if they are sending their card from the USA!

HANG IN THERE

I hope Kim enjoys all the cards he will be receiving shortly. Sallie is right, it seems like so many people, young and old, are suffering from horrid cancer. Here is my card.

Look out Mustang Sally, I've brought an oldie but a goodie!!!

Real men drive FORDS

My card for this week's challenge can be found here

Thank you again, Cindy, for another great challenge. I hope Kim finds a lot of cards in his mailbox, and they help to brighten his day...

Notice of filing: Who is the CHALLENGER that made the DISCOVERY that decided the TAURUS and MUSTANG would be the FOCUS of this weeks' ODYSSEY? As a LINCOLN and DEFENDER against the FOCUS of the FORD ALLIANCE I remain LOYALE to my LEGACY and feel I must PROBE this VENTURE and RALLY around my TOWNCAR.

On a more serious note, actually when you see my card you will see it is far from serious, here is my "Locust Lincoln Dealership"

Thanks again!

Wow, I can't thank you all enough! I took a peek at the gallery last night before I went to bed, and I honestly had tears in my eyes! Fabulous cards, I'll be stopping by every one to leave some love! Please don't feel bad if I don't make it through all of them today, I'll get there eventually!

Thanks so much
Laurie:D

Here is my card-no sun today so the photo looks pretty dark to me. Need to get a light box I guess.


The Journey by Maxell - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Here's my card for Kim.
Been struggling with extreme fatigue and hope to get back on track soon.

My oldest brother passed away in 1996, but back in the late 60's, he had a 1956 Ford Step-Side pickup. It was painted Competition Orange and had shiny chrome bumpers, hub caps and door handles. I thought of that, and him, when I made my card for Kim.

Hey Dani, I am doing good. So looking forward to some spring weather.

Well, guess better late than never...the brace is back off the hand, the new computer is up and running and I made a card for the first time in 5 days!! Talk about withdrawal.

I have been so far behind.......out of town, installed a new computer (YIPPEE) so I actually did last week's challenge yesterday and realized I hadn't even done it either so here is this week's: Pickup for Kim by angelsparkly - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I can never seem to make it right on time - lol! I finally made it with my card for Kim:
MMTPT138 For Kim by cmsuto - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
I'm sure Kim is a much better cook than Marco!

I might be out of my gourd . . .
 

ok, please bear with me as I'm new to the Teapot Tuesdays Challenges! I was inspired by the request for a card for Kim. He's only a few years younger than I am and he lives fairly close to where I do. I THINK my card is based on a Ford . . . pls see my card description for that story!

I don't have the crazy sense of humour that many of you seem to have but I'm game to offer what I can . . . it sure looks like you have a lot of fun! Anyway, here's my card

Hi Charlene! Ooh fun! A newbie! You get extra cookies! We love new teapotters! I can't wait to see your card! SCS seems to be a little wonky now and I was in the gallery commenting and then it seemed to be hanging up. I will keep checking back to see your card....

You will have fun with the Teapotters! The are a friendly crew! If you are outa your gourd you will fit right in! Ha!
Welcome!

Awww...how nice Dani! We have missed you and it feels *good* having you at the teaparty! Thanks for the kind words here.....We will be looking for your friend! I hope she comes too..

Hig bugs and snugs!

I too, want to say thanks for the friendly welcome and all the comments on my car for this challenge! Wow! This is the most comments I have had on one card and I really appreciate it! Thanks too, for all the confirmation that the car is a Ford Mustang :-)) I did write the note to Kim so I'm sure he'll think it's a crazy woman from Southern Ontario (I'm ok with that!)

Thanks everyone! You made my day and I loved making that card! I sure got my money's worth for the $2.00 stamp:)

Have a fantastic day everyone!
