Well I finally made it to Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. We are celebrating a year of teapots this week. Come join the fun. There are prizes...and loads of great stampers.
I wanted to make a special card for this challenge. Of any challenge I do weekly this is by far the best. I have met so many wonderful people and had a blast. When I saw that we were celebrating at the Queen's castle I was excited. Tomorrow is my 10 year anniversary. ( I married a king...he thinks so anyway LOL ) Ten years ago I was in England at the queen's castle on my honeymoon. I spent yesterday looking through all my old photos thinking I could use one for a card today..
I went a different direction but it was a good one. I wanted us to all celebrate this week not only the one year anniversary but also the people that come here each Tuesday. We are all different in so many ways. Some stamp elegant, others stamp whimsical. We all have different backgrounds but the one thing that draws us all together is Cindy's passion for teapots. I created a castle with all different Tilda's waiting to get in. I think it represents all of us in some way. Thanks to each and every one of you for your friendship here week after week...Visit Cindy's glob if you want to see the teapot and there are some goodies there too... Come join us.

This is not my comment!
Hey guys! Its Dawn! She is here! What? You are kidding!! No way! OMG Dawn, I am so sorry that happened! I can't believe that Bertie pushed you into the huge teapot Cathy brought when the Windsor Castle Security Team was chasing her trying to recover the Queen's necklace! Yah, I can see how it would be impossible trying to climp out of a big tea pot 52 times your size with your tea, refreshments and teapot card in your arms! I am sure Bertie will apologize, she is really a very nice person, she just gets carried away at our tea parties!!!
Well, glad you got out, come over here and wait in line with us! Yah, Yah, we are still trying to get in!!! Look over there, there are three tea partiers sitting on the steps so patiently waiting and behaving I might add! I really feel good about the counseling some of the girls are participating in! Its working!
That Kelly is always making up words! What the heck is verklempt? Not in my dictionary or my vocabulary!

Dawn, this is just adorable. Love the castle and the Tilda's. I know they are getting tired of waiting to get in. The Queen is quite impressed with how well behaved they are, I think she is going to let them bump line.

Oh Dawn, your trio of Tilda's look so sweet and innocent sitting on the steps waiting to get in. Have they not heard about these *teapot parties*? They can get a little wild at times. BTW, thanks for catching the teapot when Sabrina tackled me. What a big misunderstanding all that was. I won't get into it now. Lovely card my dear. You really did an outstanding job here. Oh, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Wish I would have known sooner, I would have sent a card. Thanks for saying all those kind sweet words to Cindy. I totally agree with you, but didn't know how to put it to print. Lovely card. my friend. TFS :0)
