Queenie and I had High Tea on Saturday Afternoon!

"Queenie" TADS (Traveling Paper Art Doll Symposium) Paperdoll #4 is getting ready to leave and journey on to the Big Apple!

While she was here she told me how much she enjoyed Tea parties. So my sister and I decided to give her a Tea since we love tea parties. Queenie wanted to go shopping for a new dress and hat. So, off we went to a local boutique called Al a mode. She found a beautiful pink dress and a matching Audrey Hepburn type hat. She also found some pink rhinestones and made a necklace and bracelet.



Saturday was a warm summer day (yes, I did say summer, as it was 101 degrees at the end of September!) So we went out on the patio. We used some of our favorite tea cups and had tea and cupcakes! Yummmmmm.... The sun shone on the crystals and made a perfect crystal glow! Queenie talked about her recent visit to Australia and showed us pictures of her trip.



We talked about our dreams, our plans, dresses and parties and out love for girly things! I shared a quote with her by Henry James, Portrait of a Lady who saqid this about tea, "There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."



What a true sentiment! We were sad to see Queenie leave, but she was excited to go to the Big Apple (New York) to visit some more new friends from TADS. Before she left we packed her clothes nicely in her case for her travel.

Talk to you all soon and God Bless...Becs

September Artwork for Cassi's Design Team

The Holidays are getting closer! I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. Fall and Winter are my favorite times of the year. I just wish we had more of them where I live. We are still having summer weather here. I am ready for the cold to come...

As most of you know, I am a member of Cassandra's Design Team. I use her images for my artwork. I have three ATC's here in which I used her images of Marie, her roses and banners images as well. She has a ton more awesome images if you want to use them for creating your artwork. Just click on her Etsy store link above and check it out!



I also entered a Halloween ATC swap group I found on Facebook. The group is called Artist Trading Cards and you can click this link to go to the blog. Here are the cards I did for the swap.



I hope you will check out Cassi's creations, You will find something you will love! God Bless...Becs

Autumn Harvest Blessings

I have been looking for ATC and other mixed media swaps and came across Swap-bot. It is a great place to get involved in all different kinds of swaps. I entered the Autumn ATC swap and made this for my partner. I had alot of fun with creating my digital collage, then I collaged several layers and then glittered and added "harvest blessings". The beautiful flowers I used came from Cassi's creations on Etsy. You can find a ton of awesome graphics at her store.

I will be posting some more ATC's I made using Cassi's images. So please come back by tomorrow or Friday to see what I have been up to. Bye for now...Becs

Up to My Chin in Shoes!!!!

Well, I never thought I would say it, but it only took my sister and I Seven (7) Hours to make 25 paper shoes! Oh My Gosh! The women of my church are having a tea in the morning on Pastor Debby's patio. After tea, we are going for a walk in downtown Exeter, to go shopping. Exeter has a new Boutique called "Al La Mode" and it is exquisite right out of Paris I am sure! The owner, Jessica is a sweet heart!



Anyway, back to the shoes. I thought they would make a cute party favor and would work well as napkin and utensil holders. The color scheme was with fall colors, so this is what we came up with! Cute huh? Here are some more pictures of the shoes...Let me know what you think.









Have a great weekend and God Bless You All...Becs
