I made this teapot for Mothermark's 1 year anniversary of hosting her virtual teaparties. I wanted it to be a suprise so I didn't post it until I knew she had recieved it. The lid comes off and attached to the lid of the teapot are the photos that I recieved from the ladies who attend the teaparties with me. I also made the display case. On the display case are all the photos of Cindy's teapots minus the Japanese Ugly one. Not because it was ugly, but so that Cindy would get this in time for her anniversary, I had to leave off week 51 and week 52. I bet Cindy can add those herself. On the display case are all the SCS usernames that have attended the teaparty.
What do you think? I had so much fun making this!!!! SNUGS to all my teaparty friends!!

OH MY WORD...MARILYNN here I was thinking my MUG would end up pasted on a pretend MUG, with a silly story, but I never thought I was contributing to such a fantastic and BEAUTIFUL project! I LOVE that gorgeous intricate little PAPERPOT and the box is beeea-utiful! Do you have other pictures of the box?! Tell Mothermark to stop hob-knobbing with Prince Charles and to get some photos, heeeeee!

You were pure genius to think of putting the pictures in the lid. When I opened the teapot, it was like opening an upside down jack in the box! Snort! The pictures unfolded to the floor and I must say it worked perfectly! I was just amazed and thrilled!
I am so happy to have a little picture of each of the girls who have come to my parties at one time or another! You made today so special! I wish I would have walked down to the mail box on Saturday, then I could have enjoyed it all weekend!
Thank you Marilynn.....You made my day, well actually my year!! Hugs gf! Snorts, Snugs, Sniggles, Snuggles, Chorts, Snickers, and Snuffs! (I am not sure what snuffs are, just sounded good!)

I must agree that you are a true blue genius, MariLynn! So much creativity and thoughtfulness went into making this pretty gift for Cindy. It was such a great idea you had to get all of our pictures to tuck inside.
Congrats, too, on winning one of her stamp sets for being a loyal and faithful tea party attendee! You rock and you deserve it!

MariLynn, that is absolutely wonderful in every detail. That teapot looks just amazing - hope Cindy keeps it in the case so nobody pours tea - or anything else - into it. Well done for all the work and love you put into this.

MariLynn, this turned out so cute!! I was with Kelly on this... expecting out pictures to somehow be on the outside!! I just couldn't quite imagine what you were doing!!! LOL I love how the pictures all popped out from under the lid. So creative! Great way to honor Cindy. What a surprise for her to receive this fun gift!!

OH MY GOSH ... this is absolutely phenomenal. I am so impressed. I am afraid I jumped into the moat when I was thinking I could join up with you ladies, you have more talent in your little fingers than I have in my whole need-to-lose-weight body!
