T Stands For Tuesday, the after party

Some of you may have noticed I'm still not well.  I spent the entire day Friday mowing my yard and doing some planting.  I also removed quite a few vines and encroaching branches in my back yard.  I believe I got overheated, since I suffered a heat stroke a few years ago.  I can't keep anything down, I have the chills, and yet, I perspire like a dock worker.  Sorry for the vivid imagery.  That's why I haven't been by to visit, and those I have, I've not written my usual comments.

However, you aren't here to hear me whine, so let's get right to the after party.  Some of you probably noticed I didn't participate in the ATC exchange this year.  Had I been thinking two months ahead, I would have already made something.  However, with the youngsters here and my daily ICADs, as well as other AJJ responsibilities, I simply didn't have time.

Most of everything you see here is from Linda, who is a regular T Tuesday participant.  Her blog is heARTfully inspired by Linda.

Thanks to her, I also have a drink related image.

Linda generously sent me postcards, all of which I noticed were from places on the east coast, except for this one.  This is actually a set of postcards that can be left as is, or torn apart to send.  These made me SO happy.  I'm not sure if Linda knew or not, but the house I owned in Webb City, MO was on the street that was part of the original Route 66.  I often imagined what it would have been like to watch cars en route to their destination on that highway that went right past my house.  This has SO much meaning, Linda and I am grateful for these postcards.

But Linda didn't stop there.  She sent me a gorgeous card that had loads of texture, and a lovely ATC, too.  I always love Linda's sewn art and this is no different,.  Don't you love the adorable tea bag with all the embellishments and the tag with the button?  Again, thank you beyond belief, dear Linda.  I'm so grateful.

Not part of the after party, but I received these from a WOYWW friend, Shaz Silverwolf.  I just had to share them, although I have NO idea what to do with them, other than admire them.

It's now time for you to share your own after party.  I'm sure it will be drink related whether you participated in the ATC swap or not.  Your T post can include gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention this is the final T post in July, so please don't forget to dig up your Second on the 2nd, a post that can be about anything as long as it is one you have published in the past.



I don't believe it.  I'm actually going to get this scheduled before it's time to post.  BTW, I have an important luncheon tomorrow (Tuesday) that I can't miss, ill or not!
