AND CHALLENGE #229
THE PUNCH, THE BRAD AND THE CUTTLE-BUGLY!
Note: Anyone is welcome to play! You automatically become a Teapotter the first time you play in our challenge. Also, you do not have to write a story. You just have to be inspired by the teapot or by the story about this week's location! Have fun! If this is your first Teapot Tuesday Challenge, please mention that in your commentary so we can be sure to greet you properly, in pure Teapot Tuesday fashion! Your participation in Destination Station is 100% voluntary and not at all required. Just have fun!
This is my story!
1. We're taking a break from Christmas planning, Christmas shopping, Christmas baking, and from 42,000 Christmas tasks still un-done! Instead, we are taking a trip down memory lane! Well, for those of you that are old like me, it's a trip down memory lane. For you young whipper snappers, just come along for the ride....on a horse.....with Clint Eastwood....okay, well you might know him as Dirty Harry! Yah, that guy!! There is a picture of him attached if you are still confused! Hubba! Hubba!
2. Here's a hint, Clint! If you are not so familiar with the old Clint Eastwood western movie collection as I list 10 of the most memorable western movies, if you are scratching your head, if you are thinking huh?, don't panic and fall off your horse! I am here for you! I am here to tell you how to translate this whole deal into a Teapot Tuesday challenge! Surely after 228 wacky Teapot Tuesday challenges, you gals should be able to follow along, right?

EPEC ~ Extra Points for Extra Cookies:
Yes! They had cookies in the old western days! Duh! You get extra cookies if you forget about Christmas for a couple of hours, have fun with your fellow Teapotters, make a card unrelated to Christmas and don't fall off your horse!
Disclaimer and Warnings:
Teapot Tuesday is not responsible for saloon brawls, runaway horses, stampedes, gunfights, bank robberies and outa control outlaws shootin' it up in the street! Oh and now the warning...word has it that the Lawman Terry Merrick has a wife known simply as Miss Charlene. She is a pretty decent person, kind, fun to be around but you mess with her man, and she turns into Big Butt Bertie! And believe me you don't really wanna go there, she's known to fling things, maybe even bullets! Just stay away from her man, and all will be well!
Destination Station:
This week our destination is Eaton Rapids, Michigan. If you would like a destination for your card, how about sending it to Terry? Terry is the husband of fellow Teapotter Charlene
(LilLuvsStampin). Terry has had some pretty significant health issues most recently but he is facing even more and is in the midst of an incredibly hard game of waiting......waiting for a kidney he needs very badly.
To read more about Terry as well as get the address to mail your cards to, please visit
Post #328 in the Destination Station tread. Please remember that just because you participate in a Teapot Tuesday challenge that is combined with a card drive request, it does not mean that you are REQUIRED to send your cards. It is totally 100% voluntary!
