Teapot Tilly, you are so silly. You make me laugh!! Thank you for the comment you left on my frog princess! You also make the most AMAZING teapot cards. I think they used to have double deckers in Montreal when I was just a kidlet. I SOOOOOOO wanted to ride in one but don't remember ever getting the chance to. Or, if I did, it was obviously not the fantastical big deal I thought it was going to be and I've forgotten about it!!!

How astute of you to notice that I had Lorraine's pencils on that fire truck!!!! I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice... should have known you would be the first... You are so rockin'!! Today's teapot is so darn cute and I love your card replicating it!!!!

Cindy, oh Cindy, you never let us down. Enough of the song! Welcome back, Mudder. You were sorely and surely (and shirley) missed. Great parties in your absence, but you are the original!! So glad to see you. Your bus is fab of course, in my favorite colors. The RED is WONderful, and those shiny windows....well, perfect. I love your story, some truth to it I guess, and your card too. Hugs.

A button punch - that makes sense. Looking closely at the teapot I see it has more holes in it, but somehow the wheels on it reminded of buttons even when I saw it on Lorraine's blog before I checked out the challenge. This brings back memories of when I worked in London . We used to have the same bus here too, only different colours. I remember that open platform at the back and how cold it was sitting near it in the winter.
Great to have you back at the wheel again

Welcome back! You have many very capable substitutes, but we do like the original - whether the stories are true or not. Sometimes it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. But it is no fiction - this bus/teapot is another wonderful creation!
Sorry I kinda messed up the numbers this week with my now you see it now you don't upload - seems if I delete one the other magically disappears (a la David Copperfield). So I will leave both...

I get the front seat on this rockin' doubledecker bus!!! I called it first! 'sides I gotta be judgin' the seed spittin' contest. You wanna go first and see if you can hit the bus driver's fat belly? No, not Bertie's, the bus driver's, goofball! Here....you want watermelon seeds or cherry pits?
Love how you did your bus, gf, and those wheels are the coolest! So good to see you here today! :-)

Hey, girlfriend, it is so fun to see you back here!! And on the double-decker bus, you can have a better view of what's going on and can cause more trouble too!! I was on one of these once, touring and I don't know where. But it was fun to be so high up! Your bus is fantastic, Cindy, I love the shape and the windows look pretty real to me!! Wonderful story too...42,000 must be the magic number!
