T Stands For Thank you God!

Psalms 37:4-5 "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."

Thank you God for the gorgeous Spring like weather!  I have even been out walking the last two days!  So energizing!  But, I am still, scrapping and crafting, and even played yesterday with my Pan Pastels and created a journal page. I like to think of it as  my technique journal.  I watched several videos and found a cool technique.  First, I stamped with VersaMark, then rubbed the Pastels over the sayings I stamped.  It really worked.  Then I applied paste over stencils.  I also sprayed TH Distress Stains over it all. I stamped another saying on a separate piece of paper then gessoed it on my page, then used some  Faber Castell Gelato on the edges. I colored the suns with gelattos, too.  I added a die cut butterfly that I edged with gold Gelato.  I added a metal button that I colored the sun with an orange Copic.  I had fun  with spray, paste and pastels!  I couldn't believe how you could stamp with VersaMark and not even see what you stamped until after you rubbed the pastels over it.  Pretty neat, like magic!

I should have lain the spray down, because you are just seeing the top.  It is the TH Distress Spray Stain Broken China.

For Elizabeth & Bleubeard over at Altered Booklover, it is T Stands For Tuesday! So for the T Gang I will post my drink.  We went out to eat at Chick N Max, but I didn't have my camera.  I thought their pictures and décor were kind of neat, so next time I will take my camera.  But here is one photo off their website.  And I brought my drink home so I could get a photo of that.

These pictures on their walls aren't as cool as their chickens dressed in outfits or chicken on wood.  Next time!  Because we will go back.  The chicken sandwiches were good with large piece of fried chicken on them.  I want to go back and try their chicken and waffles!

Also, I am  getting ready to go to a scrap retreat this week-end.  I am taking everything but the kitchen sink! LOL  I am taking my electric teapot, and my large number digital clock that I can see at night!

I am adding things as I think of them.

These aren't fully packed yet.

And there is also a tv tray in basement that I will take to set my laptop on.  And I am taking my camera, iPad, Selphy photo printer, and also a suitcase of clothes!

I found a quote on Riley's stamps online that I love that says;

 " I'm not a craft hoarder.  I'm the curator of an extensive private Craft Supply Collection."  

That describes me!

That is it for this week's Tea Party!  Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by!
