T Stands For Love and Kisses

 

 Today we are meeting at my dining room table to celebrate Valentine's Day.

My vignette for Valentine's Day I created on my dining room table.  

My teapot shares space with my journal page.  Here is a close up of the journal page.

I hope you see why I call this Love and Kisses.

Vintage sheet music was colored using a red marker.

I sewed it to some reddish pink handmade (by me) paper using red thread.

Finally I added the Love and Kisses postage stamp issued back in 2007 when first class postage was $0.39 (USD).

One more look at this entry which started with dotted scrapbook paper to which everything was sewn in place.  I'm sure you know I'm once again joining Erika our host this month at Art Journal Journey who asks us to use the color red in our art.

I have decided on how to handle the 10th anniversary swap.  In TWO WEEKS, (NOT TODAY, and NOT NEXT WEEK, but TWO WEEKS FROM NOW) I want a definitive answer to your swap choice.  I know some of you have told me two weeks in a row your intentions, but I want all in one spot because here is what we will do.  First, this WILL NOT BE a Pay It Forward, or PIF swap. Second, you will be assigned a partner depending on your choice. DO NOT TELL ME THIS WEEK, but here are the choices you have:

A. ATC only local (local defined as within your country or continent)

B. ATC only intl. (intl. defined as willing to send to anyone in the world)

C. ATC and postcard local

D. ATC and postcard intl.

E. ATC and two tea bags local

F. ATC and two tea bags intl.

G. Postcard and two tea bags local

H. Postcard and two tea bags intl.

For those of you who live in the states, if you request local only and I cannot pair you with a local person, you may send your choice to me and I will include it in the swap I send to your partner.  Remember, depending on your choice, you will be paired with someone who sends like for like, or the same item(s) as you.  For example a participant who chooses A will not be paired with a participant who chooses G.  A participant who choose A will be paired with a person who chooses A.  Those who choose to send little gifts/snippets along with your choices, may do so.  All partners MUST receive their swap items no later than July 1, 2023, however, you will NOT SHOW your swap until the anniversary on Monday July 17 or Tuesday July 18 depending on your time zone.  No late entries will be allowed. PERIOD!!

By now, you know the drill. Include something drink related as I did today, and link below.  PLEASE link your T post only.  We don't want to have to hunt for your post or have to guess where it ends. Forgot to mention, way to go Mahomes and Chiefs!!

Think about your swap choice, decide what you want to swap, write it down, and share it in two weeks, please.  Also, if you know someone who has been a T Tuesday participant in the past, please let them know about the swap we are having in July and share this blog post with them.  If you have never participated in a T Stands For Tuesday post before, but want to join the swap, please let me know in two weeks.
