TSFT I Am Back.....

My verse for the week:  Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right Spirit within me Ps. 51:10

Welcome to Tea Stands For Tuesday over at Altered Book Lover, hostessed by Elizabeth and Bleubeard!

Thanks to Elizabeth, I will do a post today.  I sometimes procrastinate, but Elizabeth needed me to post a message for all her TSFT readers, over at Altered Book Lover.  

Elizabeth has internet problems and thought she would be up by now, but has been notified it will be a while before she is online again!  She had a friend update on her blog about her eye situation as if it were herself posting.  But in fact, it was her friend, because she has no internet!

Ok, so she has inspired (LOL) me to post for T Stands For Tuesday, something I haven't done for awhile!(

Here is my drink related post for the day.  I had lunch with a pot of tea, before starting this post.  I needed nourishment!

Lady Grey, one of my favorite teas, and also a cheddar cheese and sweet pickles on rye.  This is my pattern of dishes, Pfaltzgraf Folk Art, retired.  But not to worry, I have lots and lots of it!

With this "stay at home", I badly needed a hair cut, so  finally went last week.  Here are photos of my beautician's decorating for the 4th of July.

Beside her driveway

In front of her shop

by her front door

View from in front of garage to shop

I love this flag that was in her window

Parting shot as I left.

I hope you enjoy her decorations as much as I do.

Tea, photos, and now a craft!  

This is made from a panel of a Geli Print made with acrylics and a stencil.  Then I used SU!  dies to die cut these dragonflies out of glitter paper, and  a Spellbinder tag die.  I used an oval punch to punch the sentiment which is from a retired SU! set.  I am grateful for you stopping by.  

T Stands For Truly Merry Christmas!

Isa 9:6-7 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:

and the government shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor, 

The mighty God,

The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace"

Welcome readers to another TSFT.  We are again getting together with each for a sip of our favorite beverage over at Altered Book Lover with Bleubeard & Elizabeth.  As this is a scheduled post, I cannot link here; but you will find the TSFT link on my sidebar.  Feel free to join us anytime. Find out all about it over at our hostess's.

It is all about Christmas and the birth of our Saviour this week.

Here is a photo of my newest manger scene.  It is real sparkly, but the photo isn't good.

I took more photos at my beautician's place again.  She does such a great job of decorating.

 She even decorates towards the ceiling!

She has such a flare for it.  I enjoy seeing here decorations every month.

Below:

I made some last minute Christmas cards last week to send out.  I made several variations of White on White cards.  The base was white,  then I used a Stephanie Barnard Sizzix pierced rectangle  framelit to cut the layering  panel, which had been embossed by SU!'s Softly Falling Embossing folder.  On that I put the Tim Holtz cut deer from Recollections Glimmer paper, and the Noel is also cut from glimmer paper.  The Noel is a framelit from Wonderful Wreat set by SU!  

The last thing I will share today is  the tea that I am siping today.  It says Iced Tea, but I am just drinking it hot. Very good that way.  I have no idea where I got this.  Someone must have given it to me.  And you see it is in a natural unbleached bag.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I wish you all a Happy T Day, and a Merry Christmas!
