Fresh-Cut Friday #9

Welcome to our May edition of Fresh-Cut Friday!

Today, I am sharing one of the cutest tables at last Saturday's Tea.
We had a whopping 41 tables and ladies calling Friday afternoon and begging to come!
It was so much fun... I will be sharing more of the tables and mine of course through out next week.

But this was my favorite table. Look at this arrangement!
Doesn't it look like it could be right out of a magazine?

And this cupcake bouquet.... AMAZING!
Each lady got to take one home... a cup cake that is...

So! Let's see your gorgeous arrangements!

I will be linking to Show and Tell Friday and Pink Saturday!

A Little Party Favor

I will be hosting a table for 10 at a Ladies Luncheon in a couple of weeks and needed a party favor. So because it is sort of a tea and I will set my table up as a tea table, I thought that I would
give my gals a little container of Friendship Tea.

First I put together my little jars... pretty simple... I had found this darling blue and red ribbon that I wanted to use... but then decided against it. Do you every do that?
ANYWAY.....

Here are the labels that I made...

These little jars are available at Hobby Lobby. I got them for .99 cents each. I sterilized them and filled each one with the mix...

Here's the recipe for Instant Friendship Tea.
Instant Tea ,that is, not Instant Friends. LOL!

Ingredients
1/2 cup instant tea powder
1 cup sweetened lemonade powder
1 cup orange-flavored drink mix
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions
In a large bowl, combine instant tea, lemonade powder, orange drink mix, cinnamon and clove. Mix well and store in an airtight container. To serve, put 1 tablespoon of mix in a mug. Stir in 1 cup of boiling water.

A sweet and simple little gift for each adored guest!

I've Been Spending a Lot of Time at The Craft Table....

Have you seen these? I have had my ink pads out so much lately that when I saw these at Hobby Lobby I squealed a little!
I actually cleared my work space off a little...

ANY HOO! You can have all your ink pads out and organized too... HA! Kaaaa-lever!
Wish I'ld a thought of that.

These are what I made... I already gave the cute one away...

I have to admit.... I'm kind of addicted to making these tags... They are just fun, inexpensive and you can use them soooooo many different ways.....
