I was working on a card for my little guy, Keegan, with an image I got free from a coloring book site you can find here . Just scroll down and you will see lots of different images. I was sending it to him to remind him to practice his alphabet on summer vacation....yeah right.....probably thinks I am some weird old lady!!! lol. Then I read the Teapot Tuesday and once again luck was with me and it works for the party!!! where is a lotto machine when this luck finds me!!! Oh Lorraine ordering 9600 pencils was a real big boo boo!!! Are there that many kids in the entire city you lived in!!! I know people....such as myself....lose pencils all the time. In fact I have probably purchased 42,000 of them to play sudoku games. I tried to find ONE so I could have an object to look at when I drew this pencil but could not find even one!!! Your story made me laugh out loud and made me feel so happy to think there is hope for ME!!!!
Too fun today. Hugs to all of my sisters. I made it on time through the front door.....wakawaka!!!

Well little Keegan is going to love this alphabet tiger. He is just darling! Now he might get a little confused with the alphabet bg.....A..B..C.... ending with ....P..O..Z? Now what's up with that? Are you having another blonde mommet sis? Oh, Anne Ryan was right about you and your memory. hehe But at least you still know how to make adorable cards. I love this one. Plus your drawn pencil is so sharp and perfect. Awesome card. TFS :0)

Guess what? I heard Lorraine has become a little attached to the sheer size of her pencil stash and after a month or two of school its dwindling a little! Are you sure she didn't sneak into your neck of the woods and steal the 42,000 pencils you recently puchased to replenish her stash?? Huh, whatcha think about that???
Did you bring your snowboard Con Air? I thought we might use it as a shield for the flying seeds being spit in the back of the bus......or if you so choose, a table for the special tea???
What fun this card is for your little one! If I received this card, I most definately would practice my alphabet. That is.......after I smoked the pencil! Snort! You did a great job......love that alphabet cat!

I'm so glad you lucked out with this image fitting the tea pot challenge today. How perfect. Believe it or not, if you leave things where people can get them they do and they do and they do. I think our students used about 2 pencils per month this year. Yikes. So maybe we won't have them for years to come! Ha, but I do love this card and the alphabet leopard!
