1. I found a picture (see my glob!) of this fun little snail teapot on line and wanted to include it in my Teapot Tuesday Parade. I think this is the first time I was inspired by something and went searching for a teapot to fit my idea!! Cathy (Mutnik, Nutmeg, Muttnut, NutMik or whatever the heck it is! Snort!) made this adorable card and made a comment about wanting to go to the Tour De France! So, I thought, well, why not? Especially since Kelly (Harding Mom) found and reconnected with her wealthy, wealthy uncle while we were in Ireland at the Botanical Gardens and our traveling debt has been paid in full! And the sky is the limit for future travel. Yep, we're going to the Tour de Frances for Stage 16!

LOL you had me looking all over the net for what a Peloton was. I am sad because Lance is out. Or at least he was out last I heard. I think it was a set up.. This is an awesome card Cindy. I love the snail. I will have to think this one through. Hmmm. We have hundreds of snails here. Ick. They smell. This one is cute. I may have to send my son on a hunt. Terrific teapot card. I am loving that teapot bell on your bike. Is it a 3 wheeler...LOL...or maybe a tricycle..

Let me tell you I don't know one snail from another but after reading your blog I do know the meaning of peloton. Drinking tea from a ceramic snail might be ok but meeting one in the middle of a race or even the garden might not be so good. Another great challenge, Cindy. Oh yes, I almost forgot to say how much I like the teapot bell on your bike. Do you just ride in the neighborhood or should I be on the look out for you when ever I am in Northern Colorado? Now that is a vision. You riding down 1-25 on your bike.

You wanna know how good this card is? Huh? Do ya? Well, do ya, punk? It is so exceptionally awesome that when I first saw it on your blog, I (being the dork that I am) thought it was just a repeat picture of your teapot picture! LOL!
What I wanna know is how you make all these different shapes so perfectly? I sure hope your beautiful snail doesn't get run over by the Peleton (thanks for teaching us sumpin' new, too!). It is so cool!
Oh! And I about died when I saw that little teapot bell on that bike! OMG! I bet you want that, don't you? Snort!

I want that teapot bell, too! I was on the trail last night and saw all kinds of bicycles with cool lights and little tinkling bells and decided I wanted a bell and a light and a basket...more than you want to know, Huh??
Well, like Charlene, I kept looking for your card, thinking you'd forgotten to upload it...
This story has so much drama I decided I just had to play along! Thanks for the fun Cindy, can't wait to hear how the story ends!

This is so cute, Cindy! Super creative and fun! As always, you matched the tea pot perfectly! It will be good to see everyone in France, sipping tea and shopping and maybe even biking! Sorry I missed the party last week! Thanks for the invite every week!

This really looks 3-D to me! How wonderful. And so stinking cute besides. I haven't been watching the race, so I'm glad you've filled me in on the details and what I've missed. Your snail is perfection. (love the bike bell too!!!)
