Well for once it seems my being late for the teaparty is going to be right on time for the arrival of sweet baby, Jon! I'm so excited for Jamie and Pat and the whole family! Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I? My card is for this week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. This week we are heading to Cody, Wyoming to help with the contest to decide who will be the Grand Marshall of the New Year's Parade. We are holding a baby shower for the first baby of 2011 in Cody. Bareback Brodie is a little confused and the teapotters are going to help him find his direction with the shower theme. See all the details here: MMTPT127 ~ IT'S WINNIE, NOT WHINNEY! YOUR'E SUCH A BIG NINNEY! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
In reality, as you may have gathered, our cards are going out to fellow SCSer, JamiePTS (Pat Smethers' DIL), who is expecting the arrival of little baby Jon any minute now. You can read about this joyous celebration here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
How wonderful to start of the year with a celebration of new life!
TFL!

Sweet Carla~ I am so touched by your beautiful work. I was in Cody when Jamie opened this, and she was delighted! Thank you so much for your kindness to me and the family. That lil Jon is super adorable and it was so hard to come back home. Thanks again for sending this sweet card, you made many smiles. Hugs.....
