This represents Connie Jo and Cathy Sue (sputnik and mutnik) in our early days. I am eleven days shy of being four years older than my sis, mutnik. Her birthday is in January and mine in February but EVERY January on her birthday, she would say she is only 3 years younger than me. It is kind of funny that now that I am OLD, she doesn't mention the difference any more!!! Cathy would always try to be a little taller too as the little girl in this image is trying to be. This is soooooo us!!!
The measuring stick on the wall is perfect too because my sis can draw anything and everything!! The embossing folder on the bottom right edge shows a mixed up sequence of numbers....representing the reason for this challenge by Cindy that the teapot pot group cannot count. I think I am coming in the front door on this one....sure hope there are some cookies....chocolate chip fresh out of the oven!!!
Love Tuesdays!!! Thanks Cindy for another great story.
hugs to all of my sisters.

This card is so sweet!! I love the adorable image and your story behind it!!
I like your choice of dp and the great embossded c/s in the bg!!
Funny how we reach a certain age and the difference in years seems to melt away. Though I do have to admit, I love to rub it in that my oldest sister is still older than me!

Well, this baby brought a tear to my eye Sis. AND now that we are BOTH older, I shall remind you that you are FOUR years older always!!! No more of this three year stuff. hehe I love how sweetly you colored this perfect for today image. Your bg dp gives this such an old time feel that I am lovin'! Your eb numbers are again, perfect for us teapot "pot" group, as you wrote, to learn to count. hehe Love your ribbon and perfectly tied bow. This is OTT Wonderful against that "old" tree of yours. Say, are you older than that tree too? Love this big time. Thanks for the trip into the past! Those were the good ole days weren't they?! TFS :0)

Oh WOWzers!! What a cute story - and adorable card. Reminds me of me and my sister - I am the oldest and we are almost 5 years apart by a few days, but the story is pretty familiar. LOL Perfect, sweet digi stamp for this week. Maybe I'll get lucky and this time I'll get your card. =D

So very cute, Connie Jo! That image is adorable - as is your sweet card. Your story rings true for my sis and I too. She is 5 years older and has always been taller than me - she is 5'10" and I am 5'6".
