Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT703

The Power of a Hug


Anyone is welcome to play in the weekly Teapot Challenge - the more, the merrier! You automatically become a “TEApotter” the first time you play. Where will you find inspiration? Will it be from the teapot? The destination location? Something of the recipient? Or could it be from the challenge itself? Remember, sending your card to the listed guest of honor is 100% voluntary - it's not a requirement but will be very well appreciated. Just have fun!

This week's challenge hostess is: jacqueline/Jacqueline

CHALLENGE:
Hugs are good for the soul. They’re good for our mental, emotional, physical and even spiritual health. Hugs are comforting – they make us feel warm, appreciated, loved. Our recipient, Kati, is faced with the challenge of her life and I want her to feel the power of our hugs (albeit paper) as though we were in the room physically hugging her. Find inspiration from the poem below to create your paper hug for Kati.

A Hug by Ron Tranmer

When sorrow enters life
and heartstrings feel a tug,
nothing brings more comfort
than the giving of a hug.

Words, though well intended,
cannot ever take the place
of sweet unspoken feelings
through a tender, warm embrace.

In our arms there is compassion
and the power to impart
the purest form of love…
For a hug speaks to the heart.


CARD TYPE/THEME: Thinking of You; Hello; Hugs; Comfort. Please, NO Get Well cards.

This week's Guest of Honor is Kati Walmsley and was suggested by Jen's Aunt Cindy. Aunt Cindy's niece, Kati, is at home under hospice care. Her doctors don't know how much longer she will live, but they know they can't help her. Kati is only about 30 years old. She is depressed and not taking many visitors. Her mother, Jane, is so thankful for all of you. She tells us that Kati is an artist who loves drawing with charcoal, a photographer, a gardener, and a wonderful cook. Kati loves kids, music, the beach, and boating.

I have this card going to Kati. It was created in 2018 and is still in my stash, along with many others. Not thrilled for the situation Kati is in, but thrilled that this card may brighten her day for a little while.

[Jennifrann]

Hello friends! I wanted to let you know that Kati is feeling those hugs. I received a message from her this week:

"I just want to say a BIG HUGE THANK YOU!!!! For thinking of me. The cards have been such a blessing. I still haven't opened all of them. I've been saving them for rainy days when I'm feeling down, or sicker than usual. They truly warm my heart and put a smile on my face."

Kati and her parents are extremely grateful for you!

[donnajeanne]

thanks for the update and hope she continues to keep a smile when reading the other cards--Hugs, DonnaJeanne
