It was a Tuesday night at the Roxbury... everybody was there, bustin' their moves on the dance floor. Well... almost everyone. Poor Tony Teapot, the loneliest guy in town was sitting on the sidelines, bemoaning the fact that he could never find a girl to dance with. You see, every time he leaned to the right, he leaked hot water, so Tony could only sit and watch. Anyway, the part of the evening he'd been waiting for had finally arrived... was taking the stage and as he heard those first discordant notes on the piano, he looked up and saw the woman of his dreams! OMG... she was perfect! She had big, boxy shoulders, arms all askew and (best of all) she had some mighty big saucers! It was a match made in heaven, and now you know the story about Tony Teapot and Tina Teacup, who are dancing to the end of love.
If you're wondering what my tea is spiked with, check it out here and help us celebrate Roxie's 323rd sketch!
Edited to add: Congrats Roxie... belle of the Sketch Challenge Ball! A tip of Tony's top hat to you! In honor of this momentous occasion, I added my hand-drawn sketch to your SC150. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the challenges each week.

Hilda, this is the best!! Love your Tea Pot Tony and Madeline (took my brain awhile to say her last name right, the dimmer switch was set very low). They are the best Tea Pot takeoffs ever...and hand drawn?!? Every little detail is just right! Love that sparkly paper back there and your story was divine. Thanks so much for sharing...your wonderful talents!

Wowzers, Hilda!! This is soooo cute and your story to go with it, too. This is the first chance I've had this week to check out the Roxbury gallery and everyone is having such a great time with such a fun challenge. Your drawing is awesome and such a clever idea. I like your images even better than the teapot. Way to go!!

Just got a chance to come back and take more than a quick look at your card, read your story a little more slowly and watch the video. Saucers!! Men - one track mind!! :-) Love the video - all that art work and photos are fabulous - I can see some great ideas for cards in some of them. Watched a couple of the other videos with artwork with same song. Love the song, too. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you again, your card and story rock!!
