Fourth Tea Party - Big Success!

Yesterday marked the fourth Tea and Card Making Party at Casa Ana and it was fun! We had a lovely group with Barbara, Bette, Fern, Lila, Sarah and Sheryl.  We snacked on a lemon tart with fresh strawberries, sour cream chocolate chip cookies and cream cheese with that sesame seed salsa that seems to be all the rage here these days. Delish!  We washed that all down with chamomile/lemon tea and champagne!   Here are some pics for your enjoyment.

The Cards We Made

Hope you can join us next time!

Look See What I've Been Up To!

As you can imagine, I spend much of my time playing with paper!  I'm not sure which I enjoy more, designing the cards or actually putting them together!  Here are a few new ones:

Tomorrow is another "Tea and Card Making Party" so stay tuned!

We Are Moving Along Now!

Great group of ladies yesterday for another "card and tea party".  This was Yvonne's second time coming and she brought three friends, Betty, Joani and Susan.  The cards were the same we made in the previous post, but were new to this group, so that was okay and all had a great time!

Our tea consisted of espresso brownies, macaroon cake and banana bread and our tea was a chamomile/citrus. 

A few pictures for your enjoyment:
