1. I love this teapot! (see my other picture!) It's so artsey, fartsey! I finally bit the bullet and decided to feature it on a Tuesday. I have been putting off doing it because I know I am not artsey, fartsey like it is! And one look at the pear on my card and the whole world knows I am not artsey fartsey as well! I may be desparate, but I am thinking that my pear looks better standing up instead of the way I painted it even though it makes the grapes look like they are hanging sideways! That's why I have two pictures of it with the teapot on my glob!
2. As a matter of fact, I am a little nervous about this teaparty. The teapot is featuring fruit, the tea party hostess has no ability to paint, and the tea potters coming to the party are normally a little on the rowdy side! To be prepared for the worst I had a real professional paint me some signs to post (one in every room) that says, Do not throw rotten fruit at the hostess! I hope it works but just to be safe, I have hired two left over body guards to stand at the front and back door whose sole purpose is to confiscate bags of fruit that have been brought for the sole purpose of hurling through the air at the hostess cuz her art is so bad! Snort!
3. My best advice to all of you! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!! Okay, my next sentence is where I sound artsey, fartsey. Here it goes. I used acrylic paints on my card! Woot!!
If you would like to join us in our teaparty you can get the details and see the rest of the Teapot Tuesday cards on my glob.

Bertie is scaring me up there...so I think I'll sit this tea party out, but I had to stop by and say, you don't know what you're talking about Cindy!! Your card is good enough to hang on any wall...I love it, and it is an exact replica of that cute teapot too!
I'm heading over the mountains in a few days so maybe kind of sparse on here. Hugs friend!
