Bring cherries she said, so I did. The she would be Cindy Motherway (Mothermark) and I'm bringing them to the Teapot Tuesday Challenge this week. I think all this cherry sweetness has made me dizzy and I am going to sit down. I think we'll be having some Cherries in the Snow - at least I hope so. It would be very appropriate for the winter we're having!
Our destination this week is Cindy's niece Shari. Shari was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is going through a pretty scary time. My heart goes out to her.

This is really pretty. Cherry blossoms are one of the first things we see that is springy and I love to see them. Yours are great and I'm sure they'll make Shari happy.

I LOVE the sponging on your flowers and how they match so PERFECTLY with your pink striped DP! LOVE those big scallops and all the black and white! Of course, the cherries are the icing on the cake, I mean card!

I'd had in mind that I might have been able to use some of the Mary Engelbreit bling you sent me this week, but to fit it in would have required more imagination than I had yesterday.
This, of course, is gorgeous - those flowers are so pretty, and while I liked all the black and white stripes a la teapot, your pink striped panel is pretty and feminine. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always feel that must be important for a woman at at time like this, things that affirm femininity.
I'll have to come back and look at the Cherries in the Snow with more attention when I'm not heading out to work.
