Catch up time! Or should I say tea time!!

I have been slacking on my blog for months.I kept thinking about it but life got in the way. Now that my kids are in school,I can quit hanging my head in shame and share what I have been up too.  :)

                      I have loved drinking tea since I was young. My parents always told me it was good for you. My love for tea was encouraged when I lived in South Africa. They had tea time everyday.  :) It was only fitting that my husband Michael grew up in Sri Lanka. Home to most of the worlds tea plantations.  In 2013 Michael found a new love for Teavana tea that carries some of the tea he was used to.
                    On a cold day in March, Michael took us to Teavana.  They were giving out free cups of tea and the kids and I each had one. Michael caught us on candid camera enjoying our tea. I couldn't resist putting it on a page.

                     I dug into my stash for the background and found some old My Minds Eye. I love to use things that normally get recycled so I used the bag from the Teavana store. I just cut the handles off. The darling teacup paper and embellishments are from the Soho Garden line from American Crafts.   My letters are from October Afternoon and AC Thickers.  The ribbon is from the dollar bin at Target. I have a bit of everything on this page but most of all I had a nice refreshing cup of tea while I scrapped it. :)
