This week we are headed to Texas once again, to a young man by the name of Jordan. He is going through some pretty heavy duty medical treatments after having an egg sized tumor removed from his brain. Jordan and his Mom are staying close to the MD Anderson Cancer hospital in Houston, while this treatment is happening. Needless to say, Jordan could use some cheer. He loves baseball, so that's the avenue the Teapotters are taking.
This ball has been hit "out of the park" into McCovey Cove, where the kayakers wait just so they can have a chance at catching one of these special balls. I hope this one cools off a little before being caught, or someone is going to have a hot mitt.
Maybe this ball was hit by the bat that Wanda (wendy2512) made. We may never know. I have the ball mounted flat at the front and on dimensionals at the back, so it looks like it's flying through the air.
This flaming ball is from a Google search, colored with Prisma pencils and fussy cut. I even found a Baseball themed word search puzzle that will go to Jordan.

Waaaay cool card, Jennifer! What a great image you found and nice coloring, too. Your description was a good read, as well. I'm sure Jordan will like the baseball themed puzzle, too.

Jennifer, your card is fantastic! How clever to pop up the back half, it really looks like it's flying! Great coloring, too. What a neat idea for including a word search, too, sure to keep him busy.
