Tea Tuesday

Didn't really get any paper projects done this past week, but I did get my picture frame glued and ready for some photos :) or at least I think I going to add photos, I kind of like the look as is.

I used a piece of 12" x 12" cardstock, SU Sage Shadow, for the backing and swiped it with some Distress paint, Picket Fence as well as the SU Cool Caribbean ink pad.  
 

 
and another blanket done :)
 
 
Sitting here resting after yard work and sipping a lovely cup of double bergamot, earl grey, black tea--lovely aroma.  I'm going to slice up that orange in a minute and enjoy that too :)
 
 
Also picked a couple of flowers for the table outside.  Not much blooming, I love the darker lilac (lost the name), it has a very pleasant scent, not like the regular lilacs.  I filled the jar half full of rocks so it doesn't blow over :)
 
 
That's it for me on this lovely Tuesday :)
Join the others for tea, etc. you'll find the list over at Elizabeth's blog:

Have a great day and thanks for popping by :)

    For some reason the second I saw your big white cup I thought of Alice In Wonderland?? No clue why. Lovely flowers. We'd need a lot of rocks to hold things down up here, too. Happy T-Day! :)

    Your lovely mixed media frame had me looking closer at it. What a beauty. Speaking of beauty, the flowers are gorgeous. I bet they last a long time, too. thanks for sharing your tea and art with us this Tuesday. It was all so lovely to behold.

    I really like the frame. I am interested in the blanket too. Have seen similar things but yours has such nice print and colors. Tea outdoors is special I think.

    Beautiful frame, just stunning.

    My favorite flower is a Lilac, but they don't grow well here, due to the very hot summers we have. I sure miss the smell of them, and the beautiful drooping flowers.
    Thanks for sharing
    Happy T-day
