    Are these any good Giggle

    Tea Poem: 1
    Although the miles divide us,
    Its easier to be,
    Together in our thinking,
    As we made a cup of tea,
    So lets both put the kettle on,
    And make ouselves a brew,
    And while you drink and think of me,
    I'll drink and think of you. x

    Tea poem 2
    Please enjoy this friendship tea,
    A gift for you with love from me.
    When your day is feeling blue,
    I'll tell you just what you should do.
    Grab the kettle, fill it up,
    Heat the water, pour a cup.
    Kick your shoes off, rest a while,
    Feel the clouds lift, start to smile.
    Now the day is going fine,
    Thanks to this small gift of mine

    i didn't know there were any t bag rhymes. i think i live in a parallel universe lol.

    Congrats to melissa on your guest designer spot. can't wait to see what you produce your cards are fab.

    Flourgirl . kaitlyn is thrilled that your postie brought it to you today. She's smiling now you like the gingerbread tray as that wasn't what she wanted originally she just couldn't get her first choice. She's very fussy about what goes on her cards lol.

    Can you imagine how I felt when I opened the envelope and found this which is the most fantastic card I have ever received from the little princess, Kaitlyn.

    I am so absolutely gobsmacked! It's beautiful, Kaitlyn, huge huge hugs are being sent to you for my fabulous card, the card will stay on my board forever.

    Don't care how big this picture is but I hope it's BIG!

    Thanks for the encouragement ladies - I'm a bit nervous - but it should be fun!

    Kaitlyn - another superb card - your colouring is fantastic, I love the little tray of gingerbread men!

    Giggle - I've just had a nose at your blog, your tea bag holders are brilliant. Your baby gifts are gorgeous, I think my favoutites are the boxes of little muffins, oh and I love the pint glass of men's socks. Can I ask what's inside the jam jars - I couldn't quite see?

    Skiergirl - I have a confession too, sometimes I buy a card - its only ever men's ones though - I hate making them is that okay????
