    40 Tea Tuesday

    My BFF turns the big 4-0 tomorrow. Since she’s across the country from me I decided to SPAM her snail mail box this past week. I’m sure she’ll get me back next month when I going the club but its all in good fun. Neither of us are freaking out about 40…it just doesn’t seem possible. I feel like I’m 20 something. 
    I sliced open the side of a water bottle and filled it  with a packet of flowers seeds, a knit dishcloth, crochet scrubbie, a wine cork, confetti, a few fortunes and a note.

    The note explained the contents… 
    In summary it said:
    If I were there I’d give her flowers, instead she’ll have to plant her own. 
    If I were there I’d help her clean her house, instead she’ll have to have her family to do it for her. 
    If I were there I’d share a bottle of wine but sorry I drank it.

    I also made a series of postcards with little snarky remarks all in jest of course. 
    I realize this post doesn’t really have anything to do with tea… other than the fact that Sandy and I often have a cup of tea and a chat over the phone. 
    Stop by Kimmie’s blog to see some “real” tea posts.

    Gift from Kansas

    My good friend Eilzabeth surprised with with another one of her quiltlets. This one is made from some of her fabrics she used to demo some techniques on her blog.
    I love the the greens and the free-motion stitching she used.

    She also included an extra tip-in for my Blue book. 
    I think I have enough pages now to put it together. 
    Pretty sure I’m going to have to wait until after Christmas for that one.

    Sweet Tea

    Right after Thanksgiving I stopped by my PO Box and much to my surprise, found a package waiting for me.
    Sweet Stacie the Craft Princess had sent me a thank you gift. And a lovely one, it is… So today I’m enjoying a cuppa vanilla bean tea. YUM-O. Super cute card too!

    You see…a while back Stacie had commented on how much she liked the tissue packs I was making. I decided to make one for her. Of course, in my usual hurry I never took a photo. But she did…here’s her post.

    I never expected anything back from Stacie but I certainly am appreciative! Thanks Stacie!!

    Blogland is such a wonderful place… and speaking of a wonderful place….why don’t you stop by Kimmies today and she what my Tea Tuesday friends are all up to today.
