T Stands For Time For T Day!

 One of my favorite Bible verses KJV Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Do any of the rest of the T Gang struggle for a title for T Day post?  It seems to me that T should stand for something that begins with T; right?  But I notice it doesn't always. LOL  The days are getting hotter as we move towards August.  I have to get up early to walk.  I have been trying to get gone by 7:00 AM, but I am not always successful. I got gone by 7:30 today, and back by 9:00.  I usually  walk two miles on my trail and two miles back, for a 4 mile walk.  It usually energizes me, but with the heat, it makes me more tired than usual. I am including a couple of photos of my walk for T Day.  I don't know how I got them off my phone, because I wanted to share more and now can't figure out how I did it! LOL  I am so electronically challenged!  I was looking for the photos just now, and closed this window.  Thankfully Blogger saved the draft!  

I will show you photos from earlier in July of my walk when it is empty.  Love it then, but then it gets busy with bikers, joggers and pet walkers, etc.  Also, now the trees have greened up even more and are over the path, and you are walking in a tree tunnel.  Love it!  Makes it a little cooler with shade from the sun.  

Oh, and I take a break on the way on this bench, and coming back another rest, too.  And my view each way from the bench.  And believe me it is difficult to get photos with no one coming or going on the trail.

Time for a little craftiness.  The card below is a card I made to send to a lady for her 94th birthday for our Teapot Challenge on SplitcoastStampers.  She is a farm girl, so that was our theme.  I made a side step card fold and covered with gingham checked paper, very old from my stash of retired Stampin' Up patterned paper.  Then I stamped and fussy cut the chick from a Stampin' Up set Hey Chick.  The sentiment is from another Stampin' Up set.  I then added stickers to the steps.  I had fun with this card and I hope that our recipient gets some joy from it.

Today is the big reveal over at Altered Book Lover.  To celebrate TSFT's 8th anniversary, some of us sent out ATCs.  I received mine from Erika plus some goodies!  Thank you!

All this was in the envelope with the ATC!  So fun!

I can't wait to use this stamp!

And here is Erika's wonderful collaged ATC! The trim is so cute on the bottom, and how perfect is that sentiment!  I like you a latte, too, Erika!  Thank you!

And thank you, Elizabeth for this wonderful remembrance of the 8th anniversary of TSFT.  Just a perfect ATC for the event, even with the 8 on it! Love all the drinks in the background, cocoa, java, latte, etc.  And it describes TSFT perfectly; friends & drinks!

Be sure to stop over and see our host and hostess Bluebeard & Elizabeth for TSFT over at Altered Book Lover.

I think that is a wrap today.  I don't know if my recipient has received her ATC yet, so I will show how I made it next week.  Waving to all the T Gang.  I hope you all have a great week!  Thank you for stopping by!

Happy 8th Anniversary TSFT!

One of my favorite Bible verses KJV Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Good evening! I hope this finds you cool.  It has been so hot everywhere it seems.  Except, I guess in Australia where I am told it is cold.   I am posting today to say Happy Anniversary to Bleubeard & Elizabeth over at Altered Book Lover for 8 years of T Stands For Tuesday!  Thank you Elizabeth for having TSFT.  I have only attended the T parties since January 23rd, 2018.  I had to look back and find it, and the warm welcome I received from Elizabeth and everyone else for my first post.  What is it all about?  Mostly just sharing a beverage and catching up with each other.  We link up over at Altered Book Lover where Bleubeard & Elizabeth are our host and hostess. We then blog hop and visit each other to see who is reading what, or watching what, or drinking what, or even crafting what?  We invite you to join us.

This week some of us are celebrating by swapping ATCs.  I have mine made and will put an asterisk by my name, so I will be included in the swap.  In the future, when everyone has theirs, we will have a reveal post.  Just something fun that Elizabeth has thought of us for the celebration. 

Before I share photos for my TSFT post, I want to do a plug for our Dare To Get Dirty Challenges at Splitcoaststampers.  On my sidebar, you will see that I am on the Dirty Dozen Design Team, and we are hosting the best challenges of the year from August 7th to the 13th.  I have always loved these challenges.  There will be 5 to 7 challenges a day for the whole week, including great technique challenges, sketch, color, who knows!  You do have to be a Fan Club member at Splitcoaststampers to participate, but well worth it, because there are prizes!  It is like Christmas in August!  LOL  I invite you to check it out.  I am one of the hostesses and am buy making samples, so can't show you what I am doing this week.

  I remembered to take a couple of photos at Cracker Barrel last week.

I had the turkey & dressing & sweet potatoes &  apples.

  Comfort food!  Hubby had the chicken strips, and apples.  Of course, we love the biscuits and honey, and our lemon water. 

 

They have such interesting decor, and this was right above our table.

  

I also wanted to show you that hubby is doing well, barely needs a cane anymore.  He is even grilling again.  I really missed that while he was laid up.

I wish the T Gang Happy T Day!  Thank you all  for stopping by.
