Explosion Photo Box

Well, I'm not really accomplishing much today! Went to town early, had coffee with a friend, home for lunch and now enjoying my tea--a David's black tea, Red Velvet Cake. My hedgehog cup is so cute but quite thin and doesn't keep the tea really hot for long--maybe I should be making one of those lovely little cup cosies. I resisted the urge to get a sticky bun at the store and am now regretting it   :)
 
 
Saw this cute thing on the 'net' somewhere--they used it as a wedding favour I think.  I didn't see any measurements, just have to guess.  Cute, eh? 
   
I'm working on another one of those exploding photo boxes. A couple of years ago, I made so many of these and sold them all at the Christmas fairs! So I'm making a couple to try selling again :) the only trouble with black is that I have to work on it during the day, so I can see!
 
 
Hope you're all having a wonderful day!  Thanks for stopping by :)  check out the tea group at Elizabeth's blog.

  2. Red velvet cake--now there is a flavor of tea that I've never heard of before. I love your "tea gear"-- the cute infuser and the sweet hedgie cup. And the tea packet party favors are a great idea. Happy T Day!

  4. I'm seeing hedgehogs a lot these days, your cup is one of the best. The tea packets are so interesting, maybe I'll fiddle with some paper and see if I can make one. The exploding photo box? Never heard of that but am very interested. As others said, would love to see a post about it.

  5. Such a pretty cup. My ugly thermal mug keeps beverages hot, but it sure isn't pretty--LOL! I've never heard of an exploding photo box. The little gift tea holder idea is so cute. Happy T-Day! :)

  6. oh what lovely folded paper projects! That is an adorable cup - but I know what you mean about some of them not keeping things hot for very long...
    happy T day!

  7. Nancy, I was so glad to see you joined in again this week. Your Hedgie cup is beautiful, and I love the tea infuser. All my mugs are so thick, I don't think I've ever had that problem. But I'm not one who needs scalding hot tea, either.

    That tea bag holder is SO clever, and I bet there will be several of us making a few in the next few weeks. I sure like it.

    My friend Kathy makes those photo exploding boxes. They are a lot of work, at least the way she makes them. She embellishes and layers them until there is barely room to close them.

    Thanks so much for joining T again this week.

  9. Hello and Happy T Day a little late. The tea is one of my daughter's favorite kind of cake, wonder if she'd like this. I always regret not getting the baked goods later too. Hope you will share this exploding box with us when done. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day!

  12. I like the idea for the tea tag. Exploding boxes. Never heard of them. Are they sort of like the Christmas crackers popular in the UK? Thanks for stopping by. Have a peaceful Sunday. Tammy
