T Stands for Trading ATCs

"He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber." Ps 121:3  ESV

(2nd memory verse for our Revive Our Hearts Esther Bible Study)

Trading ATCs was so fun!  That is how we celebrated TSFT's 6th anniversary for those who don't know.   Our hostess for TSFT is Elizabeth over at Altered Book Lover.  Elizabeth I think the photos of our ATCs meet the requirement for my drink related post.

I got mine this week from Lesca!  I can't wait to show you this fabulous ATC with it's own envelope decorated , also!   I love the papers she used.  Coffee and Cake for T day! I tried photographing with both my camera and iPad, but couldn't get the true colors, which are teals in the cups and panel behind the cups, and the gems sparkle more IRL, too.  Maybe she will have better photo of it on her blog.
Isn't it wonderful?  Every little detail on it.

She also sent me goodies!  I love the arrows, and picture using them on scrapbook pages!  And she even sent me a die.  Thank you Lisca, so much!  You are amazing!

  Isn't that llama adorable, and I even like the pink envelope that the ATC was in.

Next, I will show you the ATC that I sent to Eileen.  I have only done a few ATCs before.  This is not as elaborate as the one I received. :)  I used TH spray inks on watercolor paper, then stamped the Irsh Blessing on it with TH distress ink.  I die cut the tea cup and put on here, and stamped "6th" on, and added the tag.  Also, I flicked some gold FSJ silk on, and added a teabag charm.  

Do you want to see some more Colorado photos?

Here are some of the path that I walked around Lake Estes, Colorado.  It is 4 miles around, but I didn't go all the way.  I just went a ways both directons from where we parked.  I walked 3 miles.  Hubby walked some with me and then waited on a bench.  I took a photo with the zoom on of him when I got to the other side.  I wasn't even sure it was him until I got home and looked at it on my computer.  It was him.

:)

Beautiful view walking around the lake.

It looks like a street, but this is the walking/bicycle path.

That is the Stanley Hotel, that I could see, but with the zoom on.  The historic  Stanley Hotel  is what  inspired Stephen King's   "The Shining" and then a movie with Jack Nicholson.  The movie wasn't filmed there though.

There were several of these signs, along the way.  Watch out for elk!

Isn't this a beautiful place to walk?

Lovely walk!  I miss Colorado! At home we are already back to mid to high 90s.   I went walking today, and as it rained last night, it was humid and buggy this morning at 7.
Thank you all for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed this post, and have a lovely week!  Oh, and thank you all for your comments, and advice about my photos, and files etc. last week.  I do save them in a certain folder when it asks.  July goes into July.  I still don't know why my camera asks me the date every time.  It didn't do that before.  And for some reason if I skip that step, no matter how I save it, it puts it in a file in 1980!  But now I at least know where to look! LOL
Happy T Day to the T gang!
