1. This is another awesome teapot I got for my birthday from my friend Traci.
2. I met Traci here at SCS on the Dork thread (yes, I admit it, I have been known to associate with the Dorks, snort!) After chatting for quite a few months one day she mentioned she was from Colorado. I said where in Colorado, she proceded to name the same town that I work in. As a matter of fact, I drive by her house everyday to work! How funny is that!
3. Since then we have been buddies for sure, we do lunch alot! Anyway, its a good thing to admit you are a dork when you are one. Had I not done that, I would not have met Traci and I wouldn't have this cute little teapot! Giggle. On a serious note, more importantly, I would not have Traci's friendship!!
4. I have a thing for teapots and as a result have a collection of some really cool ones. This idea started when I made a card for an inspiration challenge where we were to pick something in our house to fashion a card after and of course I picked a teapot. It was a giraffe teapot and the card I made I sent to a fellow SCSer that collects giraffes!
5. I will post a teapot on my blog every Tuesday and make a card inspired by that teapot. There are no rules, no requirements, no deadlines just take a look at the teapot and join me in the fun!
You can find challenge details and the rest of my Teapot Tuesday cards on my glob:

This is absolutely gorgeous. I just looked at your blog and each one is just wonderful. To have that talent to recreate what you see in a teapot is quite special!

Wow! I believe this may be one of the most gorgeousest cards ever! This is so lovely and exquisite, Cindy, as is the beautiful teapot Traci gave you! She's got good taste in teapots and friends!
Sometimes I don't understand why SCSers who look at another stamper's card don't take time to post a comment, especially on one as gorgeous as yours. When I checked in on your card it had 217 views and I believe it should have 217 comments!!! :-)
