MMTPT213-Aug 28, 2012-Scurry Scurry....Such a Flurry
Welcome to Teapot Tuesday
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Teaparty
and Challenge #213
Scurry Scurry....Such a Flurry
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!
The story starts here:
1. Welcome all to another Tickle a Teapotter teaparty....Where outrageous things have been known to happen....but just remember what happens at teaparties stays at the teaparty!!....I'm rather jazzed that thx to the Christmas Card Challenge 2012 I'm done with my Christmas cards and only need a few special ones for the not so normal peeps on my list...so I'm going to start right now with a little Christmas music....Fa la la la la
2. Twas the night before Christmas.....you all know how that one goes...well, it's usually a time of mad preparation to get everything done, bought, baked, wrapped etc....But Sadie mouse has an even bigger prob...you see, she can't be stirring on the night before so she must get ready even earlier....OH MY!!
Scurry Scurry....such a flurry
Scurry Scurry....to and fro
Scurry Scurry....back and forth
Scurry Scurry....such a flurry
Scurry Scurry....put up the tree
Scurry Scurry....bake the treats
Scurry Scurry....such a flurry
3. Preparations are well underway for Sadie's big holiday, pies are cooling, cookies are baking, halls are decorated and wrapping is well underway...until she does a routine check on the kitchens to see if all is going as planned and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ?.....where is Stevie mouse?....always causing trouble that one...where did he get off to this time?...
Scurry Scurry....such a flurry
Scurry Scurry....to and fro
Scurry Scurry....back and forth
Scurry Scurry....such a flurry
Scurry Scurry....Stevie you get out here right now
Scurry Scurry....I'm not kidding, you get out here
Scurry Scurry....such a flurry
4. there!...what was that noise....over there....behind the stacked tins...Stevie!!...you'd better not be eating any of those cookies.....giggle, giggle...where was that....I heard you young man...you'd better get out here....
Scurry Scurry.....flurry flurry....clunka....OH NO!!! Sadie just managed to grab her prize Christmas teapot before a hiding mouse tipped it right off the shelf....and now you know the real reason not a mouse was stirring, they were all sent off to bed early so the mama mousies could finish in peace...

Ever want to get a jump on next week's challenge card? SCS has given Mothermark permission to create an email Teapot Tuesday Cheater Group and email the challenge out on the Saturday before the Tuesday of the challenge so you girls can have the weekend to make your card. Send her a pm with your email address if you wanna be a Cheater!
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
I've made an extra card on top of the four I needed for my August quota (hey, Sheri - how did you get so far ahead that you're finished!!!). I do hope to bring a critter along to send with my Simply Peaceful card...let's hope it's a quiet evening.
I had a nice milkshake ready for Tyler last week, but ended up in ER with a diagnosis of pleurisy and then pneumonia. Seriously, I would have rather made it to the Tea party! :(
Sherri you just ROCK (sorry for the shout) for pulling together this wonderful challenge. Thanks for grabbing the reins and pulling this ol' mare (me, not the rest of the 'Potters) to safety. Someone else is getting my extra cookies...no critters here, but I will be tickling a Tea Potter. Here is my Gilded Ornament card.

Better late than never.... I said I'd get it done by the end of the weekend, and here it is. First stamping/cardmaking I've been able to do in 6 weeks, and it went together fairly easily, hurray.
Check out this gorgeous card I got in the mail from Marie aka momof5sons today - she even was sweet enough to add in some sparkly snowflakes diecuts for me to play with!!
