T Stands For St. Patrick's Day

 

At the risk of repeating myself, I'm still having trouble leaving comments on some blogs.  I keep getting "Failed to Publish." If you don't hear from me right away, that is why!!  It is mainly on blogs with embedded comments and less so on those with pop-up comments. 

I'm having a bit of early St. Patrick's Day tea.  I received this from my friend Julia of WOYWW fame.  It is from Kew Gardens (in London, England), where I often visit Helen (H) who goes to Kew nearly every Saturday.  The package contained two tea bags and this is the second one.

 

The tea is almost ready.  While I sip my tea, I want to let everyone know I said we would decide today (and Tuesday) about our choices for the exchange for week 520, our 10th year anniversary.  Today is week 501. I have just received a couple of e-mail addresses and will be contacting these people to see if they would like to join us for the anniversary.  Remember the choices are:

ATC only (in country or international)

ATC and 1 postcard (in country or international)

ATC and 2 tea bags (in country or international)

1 postcard and 2 teabags, no ATC (in country or international)

 

I will pair you with a partner, but you will be responsible for exchanging snail mail addresses.

 

ALL anniversary exchanges MUST BE RECEIVED by your partner by July 3.  DO NOT be late, please.

 

You have no excuse, since you have over three months to prepare for this event.

 

Do not show your exchanges until the day of the party.  

 

Right now, I don't have time to figure out if it is July10/11 or July 17/18, but hopefully I will have more time next week and you will know the exact date of the anniversary swap. 

If you know someone who enjoys tea, coffee, etc. and makes ATCs, please let them know in time to receive a partner.  That way, we can have a large turnout for the 10th anniversary.

 

Although you probably already know the drill, please share a drink related post.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, handmade cards, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, a favorite mug, cup and saucer, teapot, coffee pot, or even a wine glass. Regardless, please join us by linking below.  Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T participants.  Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.  Please remember to visit your fellow T participants.  

 

A final reminder to be digging up your Second look on the 2nd.  The only requirement is it must have been published sometime in the past.
