Happy T-day!
I can't believe I actually am doing my T-day post on T-day this week. T-day is a big deal over at Elizabeth's Blog - Altered Book Lover where we share something having to do with a drink. It can be a drink or something representing a drink like a movie, artwork, book, etc. Today I have several drink related items.
First, I have my card from yesterday's CAS challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com which was actually about drinks (alcoholic or nonalcoholic). I decided to focus on wine since I have been wanting to use this Rubbernecker phrase stamp. I added in some scoring, and embossed wine bottle (Rubbernecker wine bottle die), some Tim Holtz paper dolls, and some Stickles.
Lastly, I got some new tea - HT Black Cask Bourbon Tea. It has a definite bourbon flavor and aroma. I really like it, and it was reasonably priced on Amazon. I am drinking some right now.
Last week was filled with errands, painting, a field trip with our middle grandson, walking with my oldest daughter, lunch with both daughters on Wednesday, and a women's conference with my sister and a sweet friend. Hubby was feeling a bit better (update: he had surgery to have his pacemaker battery replaced a few weeks ago and had a horrible sinus infection - the infection is gone, and the surgery pain is manageable - now we just need to see if there is anything they can do about his hip arthritis). It was a good week.
Hope you have a lovely week. Thank you for visiting.
Hugz,
Nancy
Your favorite card is very beautiful. I like its simplicity. The two other cards are lovely as well - the first one made me laugh. That's a great sentiment! The stamp in the second card was just the coffee cup and then you added the flowers by drawing/painting them? It's beautiful! Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous cards! I love the shadows that you created and the winter wonderland is beautifully painted, so pretty ❤️. I'd happily join you for a cuppa and would love to try that tea 😊. Wishing you a Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, sorry, WINE does that 😂😁 - GREAT!
ReplyDeleteYou made some very nice cards, dear Nancy, the first one was very funny and pleasingly nostalgic and as for the last one: I love birch trees and the blue and white color mix is so spring-like for me, just beautiful. I'm really looking forward to spring. Then there's the pretty tea tin and the coffee cup stamp filled with flowers, well done! You really were able for T-Day!
I didn't know that your hubby wasn't well (I probably missed it when you wrote it), but I'm glad that he's better now and that you had a good week - with daughters, grandchildren, sister, sweet friend... - that definitely sounds nice.
All the best and happy T-Day, Traude

Traude, my hubby had to have his pacemaker battery replaced so there was a surgery to remove the pack, replace the battery and then sew him back up. That on top of a bad sinus infection and some major hip arthritis that came on him in the last few months. The last few days, the surgery site has been less painful and the sinus infection has cleared. Now we wait to get in for the possible solutions to the hip. Thanks for your positive thoughts/wishes.
DeleteOh what a beautiful card! (with the trees)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good week. That's what we want to hear.
I'm also glad your hubby is better. I didn't know he was ill.
That tea really sounds interesting. Bourbon flavoured tea. Sounds good to me.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Glad your hubby is doing better , and it sounds like you're really enjoying your retirement. It's great to be able to do all kinds of fun things, isn't it? Of course with a sick hubby you might have to do a little nursing, maybe? And your cards are gorgeous. I like them all, but your birch trees and bunnies is really really lovely. Enjoy your Tea, it sounds delicious. I hope it was a great T day Nancy. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of cards, your winter birch trees made me smile with the little bunnies running around ♥
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the "good men" card. It was quite cleverly created, too. I was more than impressed by the coffee cup with shadows. That was brilliant. And your birch trees are just amazing. I even love the background.
ReplyDeleteThat tea sounds like something I would enjoy. At first, I thought it was loose leaf, but noticed there were 20 sachets. Thanks for sharing your fabulous cards and your new tea with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.
Forgot to mention,. so glad your husband is on the mend!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your wine-card, LOL! We have sparkling wine in the fridge since... many, many weeks!
ReplyDeleteYour watercolor-work is beautiful.
And your tea sounds super-yummy. Mine atm is almond punch with milk.
Quite a busy week you had there (phew on your Hubby! It´s always sad when one is totally healthy and the other is suffering...), yes, please join me with that journal ! I started back then joining Eileen, who sadly passed away.
Big bunny hugz
The wine card made me laugh, but my favorite card is the blue with the birch trees. Just awesome. Glad to hear Hubby is on the mend. Happy T Day
