Halloweenie

Today I was in a Halloweenie mood so I wanted to share the things I made.

I made this pumpkins after seeing the ones 

Carla showed us over at Bella Creations
Here is the link to the tutorial that she left for us...

.

This one has the little candy corn sachet I made for Starr's group 

L'art avec tissu at Bella.

We were to make a sachet but since my allergies don't let me play with too many perfumie type things I wasn't going to do this one. 

However, 

 while making some Halloweenie piece today 

and

 eating some candy corn

 I thought this would be a cute alternative...

Another Bella Creations challenge in Sandi's 

Celebrer La Fete Group

we were asked to make some

 Halloween Crackers.

I thought this was a cute idea to send some candy to my grandkids in these for Halloween instead of just sending a bag candy.

I think they will enjoy receiving these.

If my daughter doesn't eat all the candy corn, 

with my help of course,

I might send some of the sachets too.

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm linking up to Debbiedoos Newbie Party.

To busy to post catch-up

I have been real busy these day's. 

Lot's of running around here and there.

I just wanted to come in here and post a few pic's of what I have had the chance to do this past week. 

First...

a tag I did for the Bella Celebrer La Fete 

Fall tag challenge(Your take on Tim).

Using this link I made my fall rendition of Tim's tag.

Second...

another Bella challenge as well as a Flying Unicorn one.

Bella's Nuances De Coulour October challenge 

using orange, black and purple 

and 

Flying Unicorns 

Mind Your Mummy challenge, 

using a mummy or mother theme and must use gauze.

I made an ATC.

and Third...

Starr over at

Bella Creations Cartes Classiques

asked us to make some cards for the troops.

Who could say no to that?

Not me!

We could use three for the challenge and

the other three are just because I wanted to!

If I get the chance I want make more. 

Starr has a link posted for the guidelines. 

If you want to join us in sending some cards to the troops, hop on over there and take a look at what you have to do!

I am also entering the three purple cards in the 

Purple People Eater Challenge at Flying Unicorn.

And last..

I went shopping with my daughter the other day. 

We don't usually get the chance to go out and treat ourselves so we had a great time.

This is one of the treats I came home with...

My new teacup!

I love it!

I know it's a little early with the snowflakes but isn't it cute!

And since I have been using it all day I can tell you it keeps my cuppa tea nice and warm for me!

Tea Time

Teatime is by its very nature a combination of small luxuries arrange in social symmetry. And although tea for one is certainly a fine thing, the addition of a circle of dear friends to share it with ensures the whole is larger than its parts.

Today I thought I'd share a cup of tea with you all.

Some of you may know that I recently went from bagged tea to loose leaf.

I have yet to look back!

The flavor is so much better than I expected and the act of making tea, now, is so much more fun that popping a teabag in a cup. 

I am drinking my tea today out of this beautiful cup I bought last week. 

What a perfect cup to share as fall is getting underway, don't you think?

It's called Autumn Glory.

I love the fall colors in the flowers

and the gold all around the edges!

Here is a close up of the flowers and gold on the saucer...

And look at the cute flower inside the cup...

 I love it!

 It says

By Appointment To Her Majesty The Queen.

I feel so regal drinking from this!

I loved the way it was displayed in the store so I went ahead and bought the rack it was on too!

And here is it's perch when it is not in use...

Proudly sitting on the mantle shelf my son made for me and right next to the "tea tag" that Shawn sent me.

Thanks for stopping by for a cup of tea with me.

 This will be my first time sharing a post with 

Artful Affirmations-Teacup Tuesday,

and
Martha's Favorites

I have enjoyed reading these blogs and seeing the teacups everyone shares but I hadn't gotten around to share until today. 

Having this beautiful cup to share helped! lol

Have a great Tuesday everyone!
