Please excuse Kelly, aka Schirmcat, from the tea party last Tuesday, and also this past Tuesday. She overdosed on caffeine...mostly from too many Starbucks Drive Thru runs over her Christmas break, but I hold you partially responsible from all of those December Tea Parties. She would be up all hours of the night perusing blogs, stamping, using my debit card purchasing the "latest, greatest things" in the stamp world, etc...and she was almost hospitalized from a chronic case of the jitters. I knew things were bad last week when she was murmuring in her sleep, "That wasn't a TEAPOT TUESDAY, that was a CAKE TUESDAY...!!!"
She is under the supervision of her doctor, and must ONLY have decaf at your parties. Please inform me immediately if she gets "out of hand" next Tuesday. This card seems pretty tame to me, so I think she is still following doctor's orders...but you never know when she makes a run for the mocha at the local coffee store...we'll see....
Sincerely, Schirmdog...aka Schirmcat's DH
HEE!

Dear Dr. Schirmdog/Quack!
Thank you for your letter regarding our mutual friend. After receipt of this letter, my concerns over Kelly's mental health have been take to a new level. I fear this most recent impersonation of professional in the medical industry is just another attempt by Kelly to mask her addictive personality.
This is my story:
After having read about her current state of mind as much as I personally missed her at the Not a Teapot Teaparty, I find myself being somewhat relieved that she was not there as I suspect she may have started a cake throwing fight! Although some goofy tea partiers would have enjoyed that scenario, I must think also of all attendees. Some may have worn their favorite piece of clothing and to risk damage would have been a teaparty thrower's worst nightmare!
I was very happy to see Kelly at the teaparty this week and she always brings the most beautiful, adorable and creative cards! However, I just left the teaparty to answer the door and welcome another guest and when I returned Kelly had started a sugar lump throwing battle! It seems it started when she tried to nab a one of the *three* hearts off a fellow teapotters card just to be onery!! She then proceeded to throw the heart and a handfull of sugar lumps at a group of teapotters standing around admiring each other's cards.
So, although I know you really are Kelly, maybe being the dog/cat chaser you are, you will succeed in getting Kelly's attention by barking and snapping her out of her current state of mind! As far as the caffeine free beverages, I have no control as she brings it raw in a little bottle in her purse and makes several trips into the back room in between food throwing episodes!
I trust you will keep this confidential as I would not want to jeopardize Kelly's participation in Teapot Tuesday. She is
TOO MUCH FUN!!!!!
Give Kelly my snugs, sniggles, snorts, snoggles and snisses.

Oh! Hey, I am not professionally confused by not being confused all the time! Please send a copy to the doctor, or the husband, or whomever would be the most appropriate recipient. You know, one who will take this most serious matter into their capable hands!
