T Stands for Bird attack!

  ^" Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."  Psalms 33:12 KJV

Good evening!  It is currently Monday evening, and I am writing my post for T Stands for Tuesday hosted by Bleubeard & Elizabeth over at Altered book Lover. I do it early because it is already Tuesday for many of our bloggers.  Last week we celebrated 9 years that our wonderful hostess, Elizabeth  has been hostessing. We celebrated by having two swaps, ATC and napkins.  In the next weeks I will show my ATC cards, when my swap person gets hers.  Also, when napkins have all come and been sent out again, I will show these.  

Here is my ticket to the T party, then I will tell you about the bird attack. LOL

This is one of my tea pot cards I have made in the past.  I used Tea dies, and the little one is a teapot punch. 

About the bird attack.... After coming out of my doctor's this morning, I thought I would go across the street and walk around this peaceful pond that I had noticed other times I was there.  As I started out, I suddenly was hit in the head so hard, it was hard to stay in an upright position.  My first thought was a basketball hitting me or something like that.  I looked up to see a large bird flying away, turn around and come back at me again!  I had to duck.  He was coming on purpose.  I had to duck twice!  It looked like a large white owl.  I can't imagine why.  Anyway, I decided not to walk and went back to my car and left.  I don't know if I am imagining it or not, but I seem to have a headache.  I was so stunned I didn't take any photos.

Have a wonderful T-day to all the T-gang!

Thanks for stopping by~ Stay cool!

T Stands for Scrapbooking

  ^" Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."  Psalms 33:12 KJV

Hello crafty friends!  I am doing some scrapbooking and am participating in the July Bingo Challenge at Scrap Our Stash Challenge Blog.  I am doing the row that says: Journaling card, color red, ephemera, twine and layers.

Here is my submission:

This is also my ticket for the T party over at Altered Book Lover T Stands for Tuesday or TSFT with Bleubeard & Elizabeth as our hosts. Today it is the 9th anniversary of the party.  So Happy Anniversary, Bleubeard & Elizabeth!  Some of us are celebrating by doing a ATC swap and some of us are also doing a napkin swap.  Be sure and stop over and see what is going on.  Next week, I will share the napkins I sent for the swap.  And when everyone has received their ATCs, I will share them.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great T Tuesday and a crafty week.

T Stands for Thankful for My Country

 ^" Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."  Psalms 33:12 KJV

Today in the U.S. we are celebrating our 246th year of the publication of our declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776.  We usually celebrate with family gatherings, and firework displays.  Personally, we have no family near here, so it will be just the two of us, and we will watch firework displays on TV.  Another way we did celebrate was to sing patriotic songs in church this week, and we listened to a wonderful rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic by one of our pianists.  I always get teary eyed as soon as I hear the first few notes. Yes, I am thankful for my country.

Here is some 4th of July cards I have created either this year or in the past:

I think this image is from a local stamp store Mrs. O'Leary's aka Artful Illusions.  She makes her own stamps.  I purchased them as just pieces of rubber.

The image is also from Mrs. O'Leary's aka Artful Illusions from years and years ago!

I actually used this for an anniversary card for someone whose anniversary is on the 4th of July!

And now for my ticket to T Stands for Tuesday over at Altered Book Lover:

This past week, I was invited to tea by someone I met on my trail.  She served Indian tea, which I loved!  I have to find out what it was.  It was spicy and strong, just the way I love it!  She served it with biscotti and a confetti Bundt cake, all delicious.  There were three of us and we enjoyed hearing the birds sing and taking a tour of her gardens.  It was a very enjoyable morning chatting and getting to know these ladies. 

I hope you enjoyed a little 4th of July with me as well as tea in the lovely setting.

Thank you for stopping by.  Happy T Day, (a little early).
