Our momof5sons Marie, has given us a heartbreaking story this week. Our cards are going to the Schoberl family following the sad loss of their daughter Leanne.
It is not appropriate to have a funny story this week, but there is something I would like to share with you.
A few weeks ago a friend asked me about our Sisterhood of the Traveling Teapotters. I told her that sometimes we laughed and sometime cried and sometimes we laughed until we cried. I explained that we all made cards and then sent them all over the world to complete strangers. She said, ‘Why?” and I replied, “why not”. She really didn’t get it.
I saw her again today and she asked about this weekÂ’s teaparty. I read her Maries story and showed her the many beautiful cards in the gallery for LeanneÂ’s family. She read all the wonderful comments we write to each other. It would be fair to say my friend now truly understands what it means to be a Teapotter.
Big hugs, Susie xx

Susie, this is a stunner - peaceful and elegant - just great with all the embossing, punches and dies. I think I can almost duplicate it, and I will certainly try - into my faves.
