The tea potters are all in Cody WY this week to celebrate the new cowboy that is coming to town. All the tea potters are so excited about Jon Rambo who will make his entrance into Cody really soon. Well, until he gets here, the tea party must go on. Eat, drink, be merry and Duck, Bertie just flung cake across the room again. I am sure J.R. will not mind if she flings some his way when he gets here. A rootin', tootin', growing boy needs lots of cake to grow big and strong.
Welcome J.R. and congratulations to the soon to be, proud parents, grandparents and Uncle Chris.

So darling!! I love that image and your paper looks just like a bandana! Super cute! Bertie had better watch it or she might get stung this week if she isn't good.

Oh this is fantastic Shirley, the most perfect image for the very first baby born in 2011 down in that there cowboy town "Cody" he just has to be saying "But mom cowboys don't take bath, they just dust off!" Your coloring is exquisite as always, but I really love the fancy writing that says Welcome JR is it computer generated or did you do that fancy writing yourself.

Sweet image, and those background papers are just so perfect - a bandana for JR when he gets a bit bigger, and a fabulous rug for the nursery floor is what I see.

Love that Mo Manning image... haven't seen that one before, but it's perfect! This adorable card will be a huge hit at the baby shower and a treasured keepsake in Jon's baby book.

This is so darn cute!! I can just picture Jon this way when he's old enough to stand up! I like the gun aka baby belt, it's fully loaded with all the needed accessories of a baby!! Like I said earlier, SO DARN CUTE!!!
