    Tea and books


    I really enjoy my tea. It’s a daily ritual for me…at least until the hot weather comes.

    I also love books! I’m especially drawn to old books. I love the way they look and feel.

    Some I would never alter in any way and others scream at me to make them my own with paint, paper, fabric and glue.

    Hop on over to Kimmies blog to see what the other girls are doing today.

    Victoriana part one

    I mentioned before that I’m doing another round robin. Well, I finished the first spread in the first book.
    Teri’s theme is Victoriana.  She also requested that we use a postage stamp somewhere on our pages. Perfect…I already had colors in mind and knew I had a bunch of the same postage stamp. I once again used some fun new bits of stuff I’ve received lately such as the lace and organza.

    I decided to use a real tintype and secured it with brads. I think its funny how they went in and gave her jewelry some “bling” with gold paint then pinked up her cheeks as well.

    On to the next page…
    I have a few ideas swirling in my head but I really must get some housework done today.
