page plans sunday

Good Sunday morning everyone! Can you believe it is only 4 days until Christmas....I AM SO EXCITED!!! This is the fun part for me...torturing the kids...telling them they aren't getting what they wanted. Yes, they know it is just fun but still!

Anyway, as you know today is Page Plans Sunday here on my blog. This week's sketch I thought would trip me up for sure but I think I did pretty well. Well, except for the fact that I literally just noticed I'm supposed to have a sentiment up at the top left hand corner.... Okay, so other than that...I think it is lovely and in real life has lots of sparkle! This card is made with SU!'s Lovely As A Tree stamp set, Baja Breeze, Whisper White and Heidi Grace Crystal Snow (aren't you surprised I know what it is called?) patterned paper. The sentiment is from PTI and a little taffeta ribbon attaches it. I used my white gel pen and stardust jelly roll pen to highlight and add the shimmer.

Late on Friday afternoon I was invited to a tea party along with some other wonderful women from Kyler's school on Saturday afternoon . Oh, my goodness girls...it was fantastic! It was held at another one of the parents' house and when I arrived the dining room table was completely set...beautiful china cups, plates, glasses and a tea pot for each individual person. We had a 4 course tea party starting with a palate cleansing mint sorbet type of thing (in these teeny tiny little tea cups) then zucchini pepper (red, yellow, and orange peppers so think sweet not spicy) soup, sandwiches, scones, and dessert cookies. We then were treated to yummy chocolate truffles and at the very end mints (After 8 mints...anyone else love them?). We had about 12 different teas to choose from and in honor of my paternal grandmother I chose peppermint. You see, when I was young my grandmother couldn't afford much for us for Christmas but each year I got a box of peppermint tea...you know the kind in the red and white box at Christmas time. Yum! Can I just say that I haven't stopped smiling since I left there this afternoon? Honestly...how many women get to attend a real tea party? It was so much fun!

Okay, thanks for listening to me gush and taking the time to read about the tea party! I just want you to know that I probably won't be around a lot this next week. I need to prepare for the Sweet N Sassy Stamps new release blog hop and party (over on SCS). You can learn more about it on my sidebar. Oh, did I tell you I get to giveaway a stamp set? Oh, yeah...it is going to be FUN!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!! See you all soon!
