T Stands for 10th Anniversary

   T This week is a celebration event with our hostess's Bleubeard and Elizabeth for 10 years of T Stands for Tuesday. 

  I would like to thank Elizabeth for hosting this event for all of us every week for 10 years, and I don't believe she ever missed a Tuesday.(that I remember)

  I first learned about T from being invited to join from two blog friends-Deb now living in Texas and Carol from Missouri. When my favorite social media site-Multiply-sold out to a foreign company, and that company got rid of our blogs-sigh-I was having a difficult time finding another blog site that I liked.  By this time most of my friends were no longer blogging but were enjoying Facebook instead.  I had enjoyed Blogger as there are many crafts persons and artists here-just very difficult to find and connect with. 

  Over the years that I have been here on T,  I have learned about mixed media, journals, painting and more. I also have enjoyed our hostess's tutorials and reading your T posts. Being mostly a fiber artist I learned allot of new things  over the years from T.

  Elizabeth wanted us to share a photo of something 10, so I decided to grab 10 tea bags. Most all of these I have shared on one of my blogs for my drink reference over the years.

  My swap partner was Cloudia in Hawaii, I have never known or gotten mail from Hawaii before.

   I didn't even think about taking photos of the small package I had sent her at the time-and was so surprised how fast it arrived-only took 3-4 days from Missouri. That is really fast I found a vintage postcard of Lake in the Ozarks online, I also made a postcard to celebrate the 10th anniversary, and I sent along several tea bags.

    Cloudia sent me a vintage postcard too which I really love, that was mailed inside a pretty envelope with butterflies. I love the postcard-thank you. She sent me a sample packet of white truffle face moisturizer by Truffloire which will be new to me to try. Cloudia also sent along a card about a lady shopping in a wine store-that said " I don't remember the name, but it had a taste that I liked"  That was a fun "funny" That circle is the state of Hawaii seal.

I did also get a photo of the stamp

   For mine, I sent out small packages instead of envelopes, I wanted tracking on them, and being around $5.00 or more-that was just too many stamps to ask the postal lady to put on the packages-and I would not have had the tracking either. Sorry I know Elizabeth wanted actual stamps.

 I also sent a postcard to friend Deb, and she sent me a lovely ATC

and the back has the number 10

  I will close with another root beer float-smiles (for my drink reference today)-I am out of my homemade ice cream now so will need to make more once it cools down enough to go grocery shopping.  There is also an empty bottle of wine in the back.

  Happy 10th anniversary for T Stands for Tuesday

(photos found online)

    Just a little update: my swap partner did not share what I sent her for T's 10th anniversary today, but I did want to at least share the vintage postcard I had sent to Cloudia  I had searched around for one and found this postcard on Ebay-I liked the map of Lake in the Ozarks on this card-known as the snake since it is very long and curvy.  

   We live on this lake near Versailles - find upper middle of card.   I don't remember now what postcard I had made her for the anniversary, thinking like the one Deb shared.

Early Tuesday morning my swap partner did share a photo of some of the items I mailed to her thanks Cloudia
