Tea Party Flower Vase

Any

The very last of the Tea Party series stamps.  I colored in the flowers with the Stampin' markers.  When giving someone flowers whether they are real or on paper… no sentiment needed.   Would you agree?

I added a the stitching because I thought it brought out an old fashioned softness to the overall stamp.

This morning on the 12th anniversary of 9/11, I am humbled and as everyone does, we share the moment of our actions on that unforgettable day.  A day of remembrance for the souls lost and a prayer for our country are on my agenda today.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  It's been a long heavy day for me.  It started off with a sudden strike of insomnia that weakened my aura.  As I write this I am functioning off of 2-1/2 hours of sleep.  I'll be taking some melatonin to help me rest tonight and reset my clock.  I'm sure I'll be much more rested with energy tomorrow.

What do you recommend I do to fight this insomnia?  What works for you if you have sleeping issues? 

Thank You for the Tea Party

Thank You1

If anyone has noticed, I have pretty much used all but one of the stamps from Tea Party stamp set this week.  Why is that?  Because I want to show you that when you decide to buy a stamp set, you should buy it for its versatility.

When you are choosing which stamp sets appeal to you, always look at how many stamps come with the set.  This way you know you can make up to 4 or 5 cards out of one set.  It's a great way to maximize your hard earned dollar!

If you don't have a catalog and you do not have a current demonstrator, I am more than happy to send you one for free.  Simply fill out a form here.

My card sketch is brought to you buy Freshly Made Sketches 102.

I chose the Real Red ink and Red Glimmer Paper because it made the vanilla and black colors of the Modern Melody designer series paper card pop with a little bit of color as suggested by a couple of my blog readers. =)

You are the reason I continue this blog.  It's already Friday night here and I'm just now catching up on today's post.  It was a very busy day today and I'm feeling a little tired.  One more day of work and I get Sunday off.

I'll be taking my Physical Fitness Test in two weeks and as always, I'm nervous.  I usually score in the high 90's, but it's been my goal to score 100%, which seems almost impossible (I M Possible… LoL)… but I have to run in 11:22 min to make it happen.  Like my momma tells me… "we shall see said a blind man." =)

As mentioned before, I'm running the Deployed Air Force Marathon 10K.  I refuse to do the full marathon or even the half.  It's against my beliefs… LoL. Humans were NOT born to run more than 6.2 miles at a time.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  I figure I'd train for both and kill two birds with one stone… not literally… I love birds.  Who came up with that saying anyway!? LoL

Just because you are reading this… you get Stampin' Up!'s Old School September Wallpaper for FREE…… after you click HERE select ADD TO BAG and CHECK OUT.  It's that easy!

Again, happy Friday to you… have a safe and wonderful weekend.  Thank you so much for visiting.

Another Tea Party

Tea Party1

If you haven't noticed I am having a tea of a time here.  I don't feel like I've been here a whole four months… maybe because I have always looked at time as an enemy.  Enemy?  Time?  My card-making days have always been numbered.

I have to ship my stamping supplies home at least two weeks before heading out, so I can have them waiting for me upon my return.  I have seven weeks left and I'm having withdraw because I am left with about four weeks to stamp!  Oh dear.

Yikes!  I better get to stampin…….

Mojo309SketchMojo Monday #309 is the sketch of the day for me.  I always welcome a challenge and you should too. =)

Tea Party2

I originally purchased the Tea Party stamp set only because it reminded me of an antique store.  I love going to antique stores and own several pieces, but I love the museum feeling I get when I see old furniture, clothes, and jewelry.

At the local bazaar there is a vendor who sells the prettiest tea sets I've ever seen.  I finally broke down last week and bought one.  I'm not one to use a tea set, but it sure does look pretty.

I would love to give one away as blog candy, but not sure if I'd generate any takers.  If this is something you'd be interested in leave a comment below.  If there is enough interest… I just might give one away.

Who can actually say they own a six cup tea set from Kyrgyzstan?

Tea 1-3 Tea 1-4 Tea 2-2

The tea sets are available in a variety of colors, but I picked this one because it reminded me of our Flower Shop stamp set and the Pansy Paper Punch.
