T Stands For Christmas and More Mugs

 

By the time my T Tuesday post went live last week, I was on my way to Oklahoma, where a dear friend had been placed in hospice.  It was my last chance to be with her, to tell her how much she meant to me and how much she had influenced my life.  My neighbor drove me there and left me.  Little did I realize how long I would stay.  I got home earlier this morning (Monday) and was experiencing heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and severe coughs.  Besides my health concerns, I'm hoping the blogger curse will be lifted by now. 

BTW, those of you who normally get one, your Christmas card or tip in will be a bit late this year.

If you search the shelves at The Spice Merchant long enough,

you will find Christmas inspired mugs interspersed with non-Christmas mugs.

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time.

Sorry to read about your friend and about your health too. You must be happy you were able to spend some time with your friend. But I imagine it was still a very hard time. Have a wonderful T day, although I'm sure between your health and your loss it's not easy for you. hugs-Erika
