The Teapotters' Traveling Teaparty is off to Loveland, Colorado today. We are sending hugs and get well wishes to Shari......the niece of our very own Teapot General,,Mothermark. Shari has some health issues she's facing and we don't want her to be alone in it. Mothermark has woven a tale today of cherry fairies........well MY cherry fairy has decided to change my stamped cherry image into silver cherries for Shari's ears !!! I simply ADORE Mary Engelbreit and these little ear bobs are one of her creations. Last summer I ran across these earrings in a great little shop in Westerville...just north of Columbus, OH. They had just 2 pair and I bought both of them. I had no idea what I would do with 2 identical pair of earrings but I knew something would come to me. My mantra is....if 1 is good.........then a dozen MUST be better ..ha So they went into my gift drawer waiting for an opportunity to be given. There is no stamping or ink on this card. Just layers of paper and I popped the earring card on dimensionals. I love it ! Makes my heart happy...especially on this very ICY day. This card will go out today IF the mail runs......central Ohio had an ice storm last night. I don't think it's over yet....anyhooooo.........
Our best wishes and prayers go to Shari for a speedy recovery.

Wow - I love you life philosophy! It always seems to pay off...that is if I can remember where I stashed them...! Adorable card, love all of the gingham and the most inspired way to use the perfect earrings. My dear MIL had a wall hanging with this sentiment in her office before she retired. It brought a smile remembering this. Thanks for the smile, I'm sure that Shari will feel the same.

I'd say you are awesome, this was a perfect opportunity to send some sunshine even on a dreary day. Your little cherries will be one of a kind and will be remembered by Shari. Very thoughtful and a very sweet card. TFS

How sweet. I love your gingham paper. Those earrings are too cute. I never would have thought about using them on a card. I will now look at jewelry in a new way. Great card.
