Our Teapot Challenge this week couldn't have touched my heart more. We're supposed to bring birds to the party - you can catch the whole story here - and our inspiration is the cutest little bluebird teapot. I've chosen to use this stamp which represents the five little bluebird chicks in our nest box who have just lost their mother and have a father, Mr. Blue we call him, who is very faithfully trying to keep up his duties as well as the mother's. Hopefully they will all grow up to be strong little birds like these on my branch today.
PS - Happy Birthday Lynda's mom!
For more of the bluebird story you can check out my blog.

Such a sweet, sweet card! Your bluebirds are colored so perfectly! Thanks for sharing the story about your bluebird family. We had a nest of baby robins that we hoped to watch until they flew the nest, but sadly, some crows came in and ate the babies. Mom and Dad (or Bonnie and Clyde, as we called them) took off but every once in awhile, we see Bonnie in the lilac tree where her nest still is. I'm glad your story has a happier ending, and that it inspired such an adorable card.

How pretty these bluuuuuuuuuue birds are, the little pink stomach is soooo adorable. Lorraine, if I crack you up, you make me go all fuzzy inside, 'cause this is one of the sweetest, most cutest, most, most, mostess cards! Love that red frame all around, gives it punch, yet, enough softness. Cool that you made it to the party. Always nice to see you. TFS
