Time for Tea



Good Morning Peeps, hope you are all enjoying this Summer weather. This will be my last 'live' post for three weeks, today we are hosting our 'little girls' (granddaughter) 18th Birthday party, then I have hospital to deal with again when I am very much hoping to get the all clear, followed immediately afterwards by our holiday so lots of scheduled posts lined up but will try and add a little update on the health front if I can as so many continue to so kindly enquire how I am doing.

Sara is inviting us to afternoon tea at Allsorts this week with the lovely theme of 'Time for Tea'. Our sponsors are FlonzCraft and Eureka Stamps.

As a non tea drinker I don't tend to buy crafting goodies associated with tea although I know there are lots to choose from so after giving it some thought remembered the Alice in Wonderland designs from Nicecrane and the Mad Hatter's Tea Party seemed an obvious choice. It's teamed up with Graphic 45 DP's, ivy and flowers. The script is computer generated and taken from the Alice book.

Happy weekend all.
