Teddy Bo Tuesday


Happy Teddy Bo Tuesday!!


Good Morning Teddy Bo-ettes.....how are you all this morning?!??!?!  It's another 'fresh' day here at the Towers...it's trying to snow again...so with all this bad weather and our design team's reluctance to wear much clothing or go outside without a tankful of schnapps!!....we've been doing some Spring Cleaning this week.  Let me tell you....there are cobwebs in places you WOULDN'T expect them...isn't that right Colette!!?!?!?

~~~~~~~~~

Our Blog hop was a great success but we still have one or two to claim their prize...so please check the prize-winners post to see if you were one of our winners. 
~~~~~~~~~

Helle (our resident 'cocktail shaker') has been walking the floorboards at night awaiting the birth of her first Granddaughter......well.....thank goodness this little angel has finally arrived as Helle was driving us all potty (she has a VERY squeaky floorboard in her room and kept picking that one to walk over!!)  So how delighted was she when this photo arrived on the Teddy Bo T'internet to show us what she looked like....

♥JESSICA ♥

She's only 3 days old here and isn't she just beautiful.  Little Jessica doesn't know us all yet (we'll break her in gently)...but her 'extended' Teddy Bo family want to wish her and her family lots of cuddles and kisses...we have packed Helle off for a couple of days back home to visit this precious little baby and have warned her she must make her partner Freddy take LOTS and LOTS of pictures.....xxxx

~~~~~~~~~
SO...what's NEW this week


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and of course......with all the broken nights of sleep and lots of Spring cleaning getting done...the Design Team appear to have magically made another collection of wonderful cards for us all to view!!!
