This week our cards are going to the DH of fellow teapotter, Redbugdriver, aka Karen. Chip has had some foot surgeries and is in rehab for some time, so he needs a little cheer. Who better to do that than the Wonderful Goofy Teapotters!
Meet Farkle Sparkle Jumbaliah
He's been kicked out of the fam-i-lee
for puttin' on such a show of color.
He really needs some referee
his colors are bright as you can see.
SJ, TJ, nor LJ can help
Farkle Sparkle is such a whelp.
He sprints back and forth across the water
shining and dining
as if he were a teapotter.
The stripes behind him are that of the referee
making sure Farkle stays away from the Fam-i-lee.
This was the most difficult card to photograph! More difficult than it was to make! It shows so much better IRL.
I hope that Chip enjoys all the cards coming his way and that they do brighten his spirits. To both Karen and Chip, be strong!

Jennifer, this looks amazing! Your embroidered fish is just the coolest thing I've seen! I can sympathize with the photography issues...some times it's much more time consuming than the actual card! LOL!

Oh my I'm not sure what's best the card or the story! You are such a talented lady. This card is so pretty. I imagine this took a lot of time to make. Using that embroidery thread was such a cool idea. Love it!
