Teapotters Come to My Retirement Party!

My husband threw me a fabulous retirement party, which also happened to be my birthday, this past Saturday, and the Teapot Tuesday teapotters came to help celebrate!  Well, one did in actuality and the rest in spirit with this fabulous box decorated with photos of teapots they selected and signed and filled to the brim with their fabulous cards!


Above we have Mothermark, aka da Mudder, (penguin), 101Airborne (radio); jdmommy (red teapot, of course!); artystamper (frog teapot); Cook22 (Eeyore/Tigger); patsmethers (pink roses)




On this side of the box above is Mutnik (Curt the Cow); Celisa (artsy middle teapot); Vickydee (brought real silver!)





Next up above is flowergal36 (penguins); hobbydujour (upper right); zgirlsgranny (this beautiful pink flower with teal and white teapot is a very special teapot that belonged to her mother); AuntieSusan (next one down to the right); Friel (grapes and pears teapot); cmsuto (kitty cats).




On the fourth side above is Yo Sam (Charlie Brown and Snoopy); RJP111 (Christmas floral); morningsun47 (brown teapot)




On the top of the box is Broom (copper teapot); pidgesmom (floral pink teapot); and salinelynn (red teapot)

The teapotters were given an m&m theme for my cards.  Here's an aerial view of all the retirement/birthday cards that were inside...


If you want to see them individually, you can go to Splitcoaststampers and do a keyword search on MMS4BERTIE.  It's awesome how clever and creative these ladies are! 

I was so touched by their thoughtfulness; it made me cry!  I have a video clip of my friend Lynn (fellow teapotter salinelynn aka Tenacious Tillie, when she gets a chance out of her hectic schedule to play), presenting me with the box, if you have a few minutes to check it out. 




Also, Lynn made two of these gorgeous floral creations that we had on display at the party:


It was a terrific retirement party!!
