1. Is this not the cutest little teapot on the face of the earth? I got this awesome little teapot from my friend, LeAnn (N2Scrappin'). She and her hubby drove through Loveland on their way to the SU convention and we spent about an hour together at a local restaurant! Thanks LeAnn! Hope convention was fun!
2. I had an e-mail from Uncle Beeford Bumble when I got back from Tosh's last week. He's is not my uncle, I don't know who's Uncle he is! Uncle Beeford was forced to go into a career as a Bee Keeper cuz his parents, The Bumbles, made the stupid mistake of naming him Beeford instead of Buford! He has always been a success in this line of work because of his name. Things are a little different now because Uncle Beeford's bees have gone missing! That is except for about 12 and those 12 he lovingly calls "The Boys". They have stuck around and have promised Beeford they will help him bring some bees back!
3. Well, a couple of The Boys were out in California trying to round up some bees for Beeford and when they were stinging a couple of California cow butts, they got wind of a group of Tea Partiers that will pretty much supply any kinda critters asked of them as long as they are rewarded with tea and goodies! So Beeford Bumble and The Boys are supplying the tea (with honey!) and treats and we are off to Booneville, Mississippi! Bring your bees girls, as many as you can, and maybe something to throw over your face! Oh and Beeford told me to tell you all not to google African Killer Bees. He doesn't want anything ruining his tea party! Snort!
If you would like to see a picture of Uncle Beeford, the rest of the cards in the Teapot Tuesday Parade, or just say hi, visit my glob.

Oh this is SUCH a cute card...it is sooo much like the teapot! LIKE EXACTLY...you do amazing things with cardstock, you!
I want to play on time today, 'cause I am skeered that if I don't...by the time I get to it in a few days there will be such a swarm of lady and Queen Bees, and then there will ONLY be those 12 Boy bees, and then there will be a Bumble...a bee equivalent of a RUMBLE...like in West Side Story, and then there will be stinging go on...and it will be African Bees, and Queen Bees, and Stud Bees, OH MY....wait, I think that song goes with a different movie....
Anywho, thanks for taking us on another adventure, and BEE-youtiful job on you card, hee! I mean, bee!

How could you not smile at the teapot ( real and your creation) and laugh at the story! I have never been to Booneville Mississippi so looking forward to the trip. I agree with Kelly that there will probably be a lot of Queen Bees, human and insect types and Queen Bees expect a lot of service so we could have problems.

Yikes! How stinkin' a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e is this! Cindy, you've got yer paper whooped into shape for sure. That teapot is so cute, and your card is a perfect match!

I will check in later to see how the 'trouble makers' do with the African Bees, you know someone will do that! lol! Love your card sistah. ADORABLE! Snugs!
