What an interesting Saturday! The weather forecast said we would definitely be seeing downed trees and probably some tornadoes, so I spent Saturday making sure I had flashlights and candles out, all the laundry done, and some bottled water and crackers in a bag in the downstairs bath in case I had to hide there and the house got blown away. I'm ready to meet the Lord whenever he chooses, yet still, it's interesting to think about what you would do in the case of a truly life-altering event. So when only some heavy winds breezed through that night, I was thrilled. I bounced between the local weather forecast and Hallmark mysteries, and while I waited, I colored!
A few weeks ago, I found these teapot and teacup stamps and dies from Honeybee Stamps online and knew immediately that I would get a lot of use out of them. The black-and-white-teapot sample card they showed reminded me of those pretty Mackenzie-Childs wares, and other cards they showed are frillier and have rhinestones and pastel coloring.
I also want to make a card with this cute tea bag stamp, but Saturday night, I just colored flowers for the teapots. I didn't want to bring a whole bunch of supplies downstairs for the night, and hallelujah, the weather ended up being much milder than expected. Happily, I have some new cards to show for it! Did you have bad weather over the weekend? Since my town had so much damage this time four years ago, my heart goes out to those who were affected by the weekend's storms!
Great stamps! I love the checked teapot. Great use of time during the storm, too.
