This week the Tepotters are headed to Philadelphia, Pa, to celebrate the 110th birthday of Eula! What a shindig it's gonna be, the Mayor will be there and so will the Teapotters and about 500 more , to help Eula celebrate the wonderful adventures of 110 years.
This is our 3rd year in celebrating the birthdays of Eula, and what an honor it is. To mark this occasion, we're to include a note telling Eula of our favorite birthday. To be quite honest, I don't have a favorite, but I do love that my birthday is the first full day of autumn. It's my favorite season of the year. The bounty of the harvest, the cooler temperatures (for us a late summer), Halloween and Thanksgiving, and the wonderful colors of nature bless us this time of year.
This card has the wonderful colors of autumn for Miss Eula.
The only time I was in Philadelphia, was 1978 when I was going into the USCG.
Miss Eula, Happy 110th Birthday!

Jennifer, this is over-the-top GORGEOUS!! A lovely card for Eula with your signature hand stitching to make it all the more special. Love your surrounding punched frame and the cheery orange/green/white color palette.

Boy oh boy, does this sentiment sound like Eula - probably the way she lived every day of her life - I love how you added all the special stitching around the sides of the frame and put it in the colors that make your birthday special, so hers is too. great card!!

Oh wow, your shaving foam is beautiful - both the flowers and the sentiment panel. You're making me want to try it again - and I love the smell, too . I'm amazed at how bright and vibrant your colours are, mine always seem to come out a bit more washed out!
