1. Here we go, off on another year of Tea Parties! Yikes! I got this awesome little teapot night light from my friend Shirley, aka Shirt, aka Wannabcre8tive! I was so tickled with it cuz I had not seen a teapot night light before! Doesn't it look cute in my kitchen? Thank you Shirt! I love it!
2. After having received this little teapot night light, all of the sudden it all makes sense now! I can see the light! Week after week, very innocently and quietly, I make a nice little card inspired by a nice little teapot, and tell a nice little story! And once that has been done and my guests show up to the teaparty, it gets a little rowdy, a little crazy, a little outta control! All of the sudden it hit me! I can see the light now! It must be Cindy who writes the story and Gertie who attends the tea party! Like I said, it all makes sense now!
3. A fellow Tea Partier (Maureen) was bummed to miss our tea party due to a family trip to Hershey Park! I had planned for a lazer light show but I betcha there's one at Hershey Park we can go to and if there isn't, no worries, there's lots more to keep us entertained! Maureen, here we come! In keeping with this tea party's theme being *light*, wear your light colors, bring your lite refreshments (not!) and oh, maybe a pair of sunglasses in case the lights are bright! If you are bringing a friend for Gertie, you have to come in the back gate, where there are no security people! Just as a precaution!
To join our fun, view the rest of the cards in the Teapot Tuesday Parade and see a Tea Peek at next week's teapot visit my blog.
Thank you Shirley! From the bottom of my heart!

I said No...I didn't get an invite....and I am so sad. Maureen said...Mom no worries I will invite you...go to my blog and click on Mothermark's link and come and join us.... so here I am. Thank God for daughters!!!! My card will be up sometime today....for sure. Luv you Cindy...beautiful card.

Charlene: Oooo! What a beautiful card, Cindy! I love it!
Bertie: I'm so glad that you have seen the light, Muddermark. I'm also glad you 'splained this was your kitchen, cuz I thought your card was propped up on an open toilet seat and I wuz worried it would fall in and get all wet.....or, hey, mebbe that IS an open toilet seat and it wuz your intention all along so you could achieve that yellowish glow of the light. Mwaaaa-haaaa-haaaaa!
Charlene: Well, I'm not sure when Bertie and I will arrive to the tea party. When she got up (extra early) this morning, there was nothing on your blog. She cried like the big baby she is until she saw Schirmcat's color challenge. That settled her down for a bit.
Bertie: Don't listen to Charlene. I didn't cry. I ain't no baby! I hope I can come to the tea party tonight after woik!

Glad you liked your lil' teapot and that is has made you see the *light*.
No more stumbling in the dark, I wouldn't want you to step on poor "Rocky", in the middle of the night.
Love your beautiful card and the detail. Look at the handle, an exact replica of it. You are so artistic, I couldn't draw a teapot like that for nuttin". Great job.

That teapot nightlight is so cute and your card is over the top pretty, Cindy! How do you come up with such creative ideas day in and day out? Love it! What fun we are going to have a Hershey Park this week! There's always an adventure brewing and this week, loads of chocolate!

I just love night lights. I can maneuver through my house at night without turning a switch on ever. Between the glow of DH's neon lights and my tiny nights lights, it is well lit. Not the bedroom tho, can't sleep with lights on there. Any way I digress, this is one gorgeous night light and purty card next to it. Don't listen to that crazy women above about the toilet seat back ground. I know it is the shower stall fer sure. Lovely card Muddermark! TFS :0)

Wowee!! I have been packing and unpacking and driving and still no signs of Hershey Park...where is that anyways? But Charlene, not Bertie, invited me to come on over and so here am I! Love your beautifully detailed teapot Cindy...the colors are so pretty, and this looks so much like the one Shirley gave you! Well, I made a color challenge card, and it has a teapot, but I have no idea how to tie that into your teaparty cuz I am so not with it lately. I need a whole day to read the "rest of the story."
