Honoring tea and leaving home

This is a scheduled post, since I'm off spending time in another town with my dear friend Kathy, who doesn't mind having you see photos of her craft room and the messes we are probably making about now.  We've actually been busy crafting away since Thursday morning, and plan to do so through late Saturday.  Photos taken at her place will appear on this blog at some point.

Do you remember when I showed this image on Tuesday of this week?

Although it's not finished, here is what I've done so far.  I wasn't especially happy with the way the "tea" coming out of the pot buckled when it hit the cups, but there was nothing I could do.  I even used a gift card to try to spread the magazine image out, but I was afraid I'd break it if I pushed and pulled too hard.

Before I left for Kathy's,

I made sure the herbs were watered well,

made a list (and checked it twice) of art supplies I was taking to Kathy's,

and had everything packed and ready to go long before it was time to leave.  The black bag holds my clothes and toiletries for the duration with plenty of room to spare (have I not mentioned I'm a low maintenance kind of gal?), but I couldn't get another thing in the red bag that's holding the art supplies.  Every nook and cranny is filled.  And yes, the die cutter is in the red bag, too!

And finally, what do you do when you keep getting all those horrible spam messages?  You remove the "anonymous" option I've fought so hard in the past to keep.  Let's see if that works, at least for awhile! 

Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend.  I'll be back to visit and catch up with you on Sunday.
