I'm not going to say I am late to the teaparty because there is suppose to be no such thing, but I am coming when it is almost time for the next one to start - maybe I could help clean up anyway.
This past week's Teapot Tuesday challenge was about things we have received in the past that we didn't want or our favorite Xmas. My card is about both really. I hate store-bought fruitcakes, and I don't care for most homemade ones either, but my grandmother made a fruitcake that I adored every Xmas. She made it a month before and she carefully poured Bourbon on it each day and wrapped it back up with foil and placed it back in a special old cookie tin that was large enough to hold it. She used lots and lots of green and red cherries, walnuts, dates, white raisins, and marshmallows. By the time Xmas got here and we could sample a piece of her cake, you could almost get high just sniffing it! It was wonderful. Sometimes she put a glaze on top that had bourbon in it too. I sure could use a slice of that cake right now!
I didn't have a fruitcake stamp so I drew this one (I know you already guessed that!). The card is 4x4 because I got the cutest 4x4 kraft envelopes from PTI and I wanted to make a card to fit it. This is also my Xmas card for one of my favorite SCS friends - can you guess who?
TFL, and I hope you are getting in a wonderful Xmas mood because I am!

OMG, Nancy, is this going to who I think it's going????? This is so DARN FUNNY!!! You always make me LAUGH big time. As soon as I saw the title of your card, I thought it was about me, but then I was reading it was part of the Teapot Tuesday Challenge, so thought it was ironic that you would pick a fruitcake. Then, as I read, I saw that it was going to a SCS - guess who? Okay EVERYONE, it's MEEEEE!!! I'm the Official Fruitcake of SCS and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!! The way you were bashing Fruitcakes was hurting my feelings. You do know that Fruitcakes have feelings too!!! LOL!!! Nancy, you're da bomb!! I'll be awaiting this hand-drawn MASTERPIECE in my mailbox. This will be one fruitcake I won't mind receiving!!! LOL!!! Still laughing . . . TFS!!

Oh, Phooey...Nancy, we'll never end the end of this from Pamalina the Fruitcake of SCS. Her head will be bigger than your whole card. I see pearls all over this cake and she will remove those as soon as she gets your card and use them for those Christmas cards that are driving Anne Ryan nuts. I see she said she linked this card to her enemies and I was one of them. She
won't appreciate your cake card just as she did not appreciate the expensive sewing machine I sent her. Did you see all the horrible things she said about me??? LOL
She is hoping you send her a real fruitcake with bourbon soaked in. Watch out for Fruitcake...she'll do you in.
Seriously, she is a good buddy and funny, too! Did I just say that?

OMGosh, Nancy, you people crack me up! What a lovely hand-drawn fruitcake for our very own Fruitcake, Spammy Pammy, Pamelina! You rock, girl!
I second all of the above comments. Our precious Pammy is sure to get a big head with all of this attention (not). And it appears that Benzi is still not appeased after her gift of a sewing machine to Pammy.
Oh my goodness, the goings on here at SCS are almost too much to keep up with!
Your card is as darling as can be, sweet Nancy! Such a wonderful honor for our Pam. And it's bling-a-rific to boot!

FYI Nancy: Benzi's sewing machine was a "fake". It was from Hobby Lobby and it WAS A TOY ONE!! Only a real Fruitcake would still be trying to figure out how to work it!! I rest my case!! And, to Ms. Peggy-Sue, Fruitcake wouldn't mind a little R&R at the BFC as long as she's no where near that Mrs. RYANNNNNN!!! LOL!!! Bye . . .

I am glad you cleared up that sewing machine thing for me. I thought she sent you one of those faux sewing kits from SU! which I love and I couldn't understand why you didn't love it too - now I understand! I am sure it makes a lovely paperweight though - us Alabama girls love our paperweights and our football teams (Roll Tide and War Eagle!).

Nancy, that CRIMSON TIDE did roll last night, didn't they? Wow! I was standing the whole time, jumping, and cheering. Thought I was back in my cheerleader days. Your card is just right for the tea party and Pamster. I need to get in on those tea parties. They look like lots of fun.

Clearly, Nancy, I always thought you were much more sophisticated than to honor SCS's resident fruitcake with a card in her honor! Yes, I am one of her worst enemies, and as such, she just had to pm me to show off what one fellow stamper thinks of her. Well, trust me, I do not share your sentiments!!! she's a fruitcake alright. By her own admision she said only a fruitcake wouldnt know the sewing machine benzi sent her wasnt real. She didnt tell you it took her weeks to figure that out! Yeah, she's a fruitcake alright!
