Today's teapot inspiration was a beautiful light house teapot. Mothermark is holding the teaparty in Peggy's Cove, Novia Scotia which is JoAnne's (JotJot) favorite vacation spot. I can certainly see why - with the relaxed atmosphere and gorgeous scenery (a photographer's paradise for sure). Mothermark booked us accommodations at a lighthouse since all the hotels were booked up (tourist haven that it is and all). We may have to help her negotiate in the future because as part of the deal, she agreed we would catch 42,000 lbs of fish for the lighthouse owners or something like that. We agreed to bring a bunch of fish instead of having to go out on a commercial fishing boat (since that is dangerous - at least it is on that show on TV called Deadliest Catch). I brought quite a few fish with me as you can see because I have Danielle at the Oceanstone Inn booked for three sessions (you can call Danielle at 1-866-823-2160 if you want to book her too). Danielle has studied many different forms of massage, but one of her specialties is Ayurvedic Massage which is from India and she also uses the Suikodo technique which she apparently learned from Master Mitsuki Kikkawa. I have been a little stressed lately and buying, I mean catching, all these fish was hard work!

I think you met the quota with your fabulous catch of fish. Now we can relax and just enjoy the scenery. I like how you have your lighthouse image cut into panels. The net of fish is awesome. I also like how you have the sentiment on the little tag.

Hey guys! I think Nancy knows how to fish! OMG! Look at all the fish she caught this morning! She is gonna have all of the local fishermen green with envy.........I think we need to have a little heart to heart with her though about the *message* hanging from her net! Best Fishies! I know her fish are god ones, but I am afraid she might start a feud between the tea potters and the local fisherman. Better to lay low me thinks, specially cuz it could be some of Marilynn's family! Yikes!
What a fun, fun card! You must have at least 20,000 pounds of fish here! We are almost to reach our goal!!! You rocked this challenge! Love the lighthouse scenery in the back ground and combined with the fish, its one amazing little card! Woot!

How beautiful and creative Nancy! I do love this scene and the black matting! The net, the fishies, wow, what fun in discovering all the details in here too. LOVE IT!
Good to have you at the party again this week. You have covered the fish thing, now if you need anything to boost your energy levels, never mind those guru zen masters or whatever you call them, I have some sweet fish tea that can help you relax completely, once you get over the smell that is. LOL TFS and for coming!
