Well, not today, I am way too busy stuffing my suitcase with all sorts of things to take to my craftavan in France tonight. But I hope to have a cup of tea or two in our French garden tomorrow, yay! Weather is supposed to be very good, temps in the low 20s and sunny, which sounds just lovely.
TEA IN THE GARDEN is the theme for Kimberly's latest ATC swap though, and I just had to get my ATCs done before we toodled off to France. I reduced a sepia copy of an Alice in Wonderland tea party to black and white
and then hand coloured it in with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens. Felt about 6 years old, lol. Gotta love colouring in. And then I raided my stash of fabric flowers and applied them to the ATCs -
Spot the difference!?
Back to packing. Oh the decisions to be made, what craft stuff to take, what to leave behind......... I just know that I will realise after a week or so that I have forgotten something vital and will have to ask my darling son to post it to me. Its happened before. Once. Or twice.....

We all long to be there with you, so just know we are there in spirit.
These fabric tags are amazing. Your creativeness is really flowing.

These ATC collages are magnificient and oh so colorful. Love them. And I love the new header on your blog. I'm guessing it's your place in France. How lovely. Enjoy and I look forward to more artwork and brocante finds.
Such a fun tea in the garden!
Tea in any garden of yours would be a "sunny" afternoon. I thought you had gone to France already, you will be there by now, however. Hope all is well!
Enjoy your time there.

Darling Liz--- the little Alice in Wonderland creations are precious.
How wonderful that you are off to your special place-- tea in the garden sounds delightful. I know the angst of trying to pack craft supplies-- like you, I'm always forgetting something!

I'm sure you have had many a cup of tea in your French garden by now Liz. Already a week there has passed!
These little tags from Alice in Wonderland must have taken you back there as a child as you colored in each
cup and saucer, hat and pretty blue dress! So much fun!
Hope you are enjoying some lovely sunny weather enough to get you planting out in your vegi garden!
Thinking of you with loving Easter hugs,
Suzy
