This week for the Teapotters is Tickle a Teapotter week. Whoohoo, yippee!! This means that we'll be sending our cards off to who know who. It's all a big surprise until you get your card in the mail. This is our reward for being the fun loving (whacky) and considerate folks we are.
This week we're off on a cruise. Now those things scare the bejeezers out of me, what with all that food that's there to eat. I'd have to run the decks from sun-up to sun down to keep all that food from going to my rear, dear! I say, just get me to the beach and I'm a happy sunbather!
Thus, I brought the bathing suits, though I really should have brought a pareo too! They say that vertical stripes are slimming, so there's one suit for that and the other is for say the first day or two, before I've gotten my hands on all that food. Maybe the gazers and lookers will just see the wonderful bling that adorns the suits and thongs. Do my toes look fat?!
I cheated to make these suits. I copied the suit that's in the latest PC mag, enlarged it and used it for my template. I did change the necklines, just to make them a little more unique, one being the Labels 10 nestie and the other the longer scalloped oval nestie.
The orange and pink suit is actually a card. I attached the thongs to it so they wouldn't get lost or stolen, since the bling is mighty fine lookin'.

I love your post!!! I enjoyed reading it so much-you are so clever with your writing skills and your card making skills are right up there with it!!! Let me tell you girl you will not gain an once on that boat if you make sure you go to all the parties. You will dance it off. There's the Electric Slide, the Cupid Shuffle, the Cha Cha Slide and a whole bunch of other dances that will keep you looking in shape...lol Ask me I know-I only gain a couple pounds on a cruise and have it off in a week. It's all the walking in the ports and parties at night...lol
Your card is just darling. So clever and creative. Love these swim suites and the flip flops. Of course every girl needs some bling in a bathsuit so that attention can be drawn away for the figure flaws! There's soon to be one happy tickled teapotter with this fabulous and fun card!
