Happy Teapot Tuesday. Here is my card for today's Teapot challenge. Our destination is Brampton, Ontario to Kim - the cousin of fellow SCSer/Teapotter Laurie (Virgo05). Kim was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. He is only 41 years old. For more details - go here
As I work at a Ford dealership (Steve Marshall Ford) as a service advisor and Kim is the Chairman of Local 584 at the Ford Company - I just had to bring Kim a vintage Ford truck. While driving along Route 66 my dh and I stopped at the Hackberry General Store and saw this old pickup truck parked in front of an old garage. I tried to recreate the scene - but omitted all the vintage signs on the garage. I hand drew the garage and sponged in the clouds.
Hugs -- gotta run - going over to see the grandbabies this morning.
