you're my cuppa tea party + swap

THIS GROUP WAS FORMED OVER A YEAR AGO FOR A ONE-TIME SWAP DEAL. SO THAT MEANS, THIS GROUP IS "CLOSED" & FOLKS NEED NOT APPLY.

HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN TEA-THEMED ACTIVITIES, PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW GROUP, THE VINTAGE TEA ROOM.

THANK YOU!!!!

*****SWAP IS ALREADY CLOSED*****
YOU are cordially invited to "you're my cuppa tea party + swap" (optional). <<>> where you can (optional) create some handmade art or craft + send one prepackaged tea bag. & you will get the same in return from your swap partner.

this virtual tea party will be open to ANY interested person from ANYwhere who loves all things tea & who also is willing to share her/his teatime photos either on her/hisrespective blog +/or the flickr group >>> on {all day} friday, april 20th. that's T-Day folks, hehehe!

here's how this will all work:

1. sign-up on or before march 5, 2007 (this deadline is FIRM because i want to give plenty of time for folks to do a nice job).

2. email to follow_your_bliss07@hotmail.com the following:
your full name, address, indicate "tea party only" OR "tea party +swap" & whether you want a domestic or international swap partner.

3. if you have opted to also participate in the swap: must mail your swap package to your partner by march 31st (in order to accomodate international postal schedule), please.

4. all handmade art or craft must be no bigger than a standard 4" x 6" envelope (trying to keep postage costs down). examples of art or craft: atcs, aceos, cards, knitted/quilted/or crotched dish towel or coaster, window art>>>whatever media that your creative heart desires (& have the time for), just as long as it fits into a 4" x 6" envie *smile*!

5. post your teatime pix and/or your handmade art or craft on your respective blog (if you have one) and/or the flickr group pool (no photo-limit) on T-DAY>>> FRIDAY APRIL 20, 2007… please, please i ask that you NOT post your pix before APRIL 20th …remember, this is supposed to be a VIRTUAL tea party going on (relatively speaking) at the same time *smile*!

6. you say you don’t have anyone to drink tea with? not a problem. just take pix of yourself savoring a nice spot of tea with a crumpet or two…the main idea is to gather as many like-minded tea-totalers on one day…& to have FUN.

so c’mon now…dig out your china & dainty tea cups. whip up some scrumptious scones & tea sandwiches. dress up or dress down. it's all up to you>>>whatever you can imagine>>>so long as you HAVE A BALL!

any questions, pls. don’t hesitate to contact me >>> follow_your_bliss07@hotmail.com

hope to see YOU at TEA TIME because you’re my cuppa tea!
