You are invited to my One Year Anniversary Teapot Tuesday Tea Party!
This is my story!
1. How time flies! 52 Tuesday's ago, I was making my first Teapot Tuesday card and here I am today, a year later, still at it! It's my one year anniversary! Whoo! Hoo! I chose a really special Teapot to feature this week. My friend (upline/demo) Carn recently visited her son and took a little side trip to see the Queen at Windsor Castle. While she was there she purchased this wonderful little Crown Porcelain teapot for me. I knew immediately it was the perfect little one year anniversary teapot for me to feature today! Thank you Carn! You are so good to me!
2. Amazingly enough, last week I got a phone call from the Queen (giggle!) and it turns out she's very impressed that we have all been so faithful every week in honoring something so near and dear to her heart, TEA!! We've been invited to a tea party at Windsor Castle! I immediately accepted her invitation even when she implied that we needed to behave! Yikes! So, get yourself a manicure and put your best pinky forward cuz you're gonna need to hold that pinky high when toasting the Queen!
3. When she put me on hold to have her *people* talk to my *people* (who is me!), her assistant told me that the guards from Buckingham Palace will also be there on the same Tuesday dressed in their red uniforms with big furry black hats! Evidently lots of people make complete fools of themselves trying to get these guys to lighten up! Not sure why that information was relevant.

Happy Teapot Tuesday!

Cindy, this is fabulous. Another card with this technique. I don't think we will run out of tea today will all those teapots in the windows. When we are done at the castle we should go see Big Ben. What better way to honor time. The time of one year of VIRTUAL teaparties. I'll be the one to make sure that we all get on the tour bus. We don't want to leave anyone behind.

WOW! You even made ANOTHER tri-shutter card and it is flippin' FANTASTIC! I see the Queen has a lot of teapots, just like you. Oh, and the castle flowers and greenery are in full bloom! So beautiful!
Bertie promises to be on her best behavior today and even took lessons from Eliza on manners while at the castle. I really should tell you that snorting, chortling, giggling, and laughing are not considered to be lady-like behaviors while at the castle. And definitely NO HUGGING of the Queen! Remember all the trouble Diana had with the Queen? So ya better watch it!
Happy Teapot Tuesday Anniversary, goofy girlfriend, and thanks for the chance at some awesome candy! Since I have multiple personalities, does my name go into the hat more than once?
Oh, yeah, I think it was really cool of you, too, to give MariLynn one of the stamp sets for being a faithful tea party attendee!!

Excellent card Miss Mothermark! I heard the Queen talking about your card in those terms. I know she wouldn't say awesome, cool or just extraordinaire! Being English and all, but I did her snort when you said she could have it at the right price. Cindy, now you know she can't afford your cards, they are priceless. Happy anniversary darling! It's been so much fun. (But are they really make-believe...) I just got home a little while ago, now I need to go make a beautiful anniversary card for you. I promise there is no goofy coming from me.
