Tea on Tuesday

Well, it's good old Earl Grey along with some fried bread.  I was making some Parkerhouse rolls and just had to do it!  I love it fried, add butter and jam, yum!


The pot on the stove contains some beef barley soup and you just have to have buns to go with soup  :)


I'm keeping with the Smash book, hope no one minds that I took the words from EK, they are so perfect and afterall, it's just for me.  This book is for my everyday journal type thing.     



The little watering-can-turned-teapot (I just trimmed it up) is for todays entry  :)   



Inside back cover started.  I am glueing two pages together, throughout, just to tuck away little lists or private thoughts.   On the blog at EK, one person had made a list of things to help with journaling, you can find the EK address in my previous post.  




I finished a canvas tag yesterday.  The colour is washed out in the photo, but really it's quite pretty  :)   I  saw the canvas tag book and thought, I can make those.  So I went and bought a metre of canvas--next time I'll just go get the tag book, lol.  I put a piece of cardstock in between the layers just to give it some stability.  The tag is spritzed with Glimmer Mist and I added some do-dads, fibre, a piece of mica, a clip, etc. The leaf thing is off an old purse, it's pinned on with a TH clasp.  The pictures are from a box that my coasters came in and the word Journey is a CM sticker. 

**just a note to let you know (if you look close),
 that I turned the one little pic the right way up  :)  the one by the clip



Thank you for coming, I hope you enjoyed your tea time here :)

  6. Wow! It must not be scorching hot where you are, Nancy because soup sounds wonderful, but NOT in this heat. And I love fried bread, too. Of course, that will be more enjoyable when the weather is under 110 F.

    A bunch of my British friends are into the smash books. I like to make them, but don't like to journal. I'm not a journaler. Glad you are enjoying yours, though.
