We're going back to school this week for the Tea Party. Seems we Teapotter's need to learn how to count again. Good thing it's sandal weather, that means I have 10 more digits!
Estelle T. Stump, the schoolhouse grump,
you could say she's a little old frump.
She isn't a happy camper,
with all of us Teapot stampers,
Seems that we've forgotten how to count
1+1=3 is not the right amount.
I've been told that men are better
with math over writing a letter
I don't see how X+Y= 23
but put me in a spelling bee.
For I admit numbers are my weakness
I won't be winning any Preakness
Just let me win that big lottery!
We're supposed to have 2 of something, I've got 3 numbers and 5 flowers, that equals 8. I thought I would make it real easy for myself and everyone else as to knowing which Tea Party this is.
Therefore, my card is numbered 152.
The flowers are made using the peony dies with a beautiful coppery and red handmade paper that I got years ago at Costco. The dragonfly is actually copper, from Making Memories. It's time to use up some of these great embellishments I have hoarded, er collected.
I had a hard time getting a good photo of this card, to really make the copper c/s show up. Believe me, this is really coppery.
I will be participating in the Tickle a Teapotter exchange this week.
