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. Well, its the end of the month already and you all know what that means! Tickle a Teapotter! Wow, where does the time go? And speaking of time flying by, its usually about July that I begin to think about Christmas cards. My thoughts being, if I start slowly making Christmas cards right now, maybe making one a week, I would have a pretty good stash by December. And then in December, my thoughts are okay, next year, I am gonna start my Christmas cards early! I've done that about 42,000 years in a row! Yikes!
2. So, its Teapot Tuesday's Christmas in July! This challenge is here to help you all get a jump start on your 2011 Christmas cards. Just think, after today, Tuesday, the 26th of July 2011, you will all have one Christmas card made to send to a teapotter! Whoo hoo! One less thing! (Can you all tell I recently watched Forest Gump on TV? ) Teapot Tuesday is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get! Snort!
3. Meet Stingey Miss Gingey! She's a Ginger Snap Cookie whose really quite happy cuz she dresses so snappy! It's those red and white stripes, so crisp, clean and bright! She just glows with delight in her red and white stripe! She might be a Rookie being a Ginger Snap Cookie but she's not short on style, she beats the others by a mile! A Ginger Snap Fox, one of a kind in the box. See the others just stare? Sorta give her a glare? They just wanna dress snappy, have a chance to be happy! Why can't they dress finer? Won't she share her designer? They'll just have to wing it, decide to just bring it! Show Stingey
Miss Gingey in her fancy striped hat! Show Stingey Miss Gingey that she's not really all that! The more they're exposed to her holiday clothes the faster they'll learn to each take a turn. Step outa the box, become a Ginger Snap Fox!
Move Over Miss Gingey!
Admit You're Just Stingey!
We Know We Can Dress Finer!
With or Without Your Designer!
4. I can't find the words, to describe these young nerds. They simply are clueless, might even be shoeless! I don't think they get it. I probably shouldn't have said it! But they need some direction, a little help, some confection. Let's bring em some sugar, some frosting and candy. Some red and white stripes, that would be oh so dandy! A bow tie at their neck, a little pink in their cheeks, anything to hide that they're really just geeks! They claim that Miss Gingey is oh so stingey. They say she's a louse, won't share the Gingerbread house! You know what to do, bring a gum drop or two. Some suger, some frosting, some over dressed Ginger! Ooh, I saw that! Did you just lick your finger? That Stingey Miss Gingey, the Ginger Snap Rookie, she's a heck of cookie! See Stingey Miss Gingey? Bring that!
If you bring cookies that are other than Ginger you gotta come in the back door! No....wait a minute, I take that back! If you bring any kinda cookies you get extra cookies! Cuz we'll have a ton of em even after hiding some for the newbies! Whoot!
