Tuesday with Val and a Hug

Happy Tuesday!

Are you having cold weather like we are here?

We've been enjoying a warm cup of tea in the evenings lately
so I thought I'd create a little matchbook tea bag card.

I used bits from the scrap pile (including one of the folded tags that I cut off of last week's project) to create a little belly band that slides off to reveal the "hug" enclosed.
Thanks so much for dropping by!

Tuesday with Val and a Winter Greeting

Happy Tuesday!

It seems like every year, December arrives quicker and quicker!
How is that possible? I'm not a huge fan of winter, but I do love snowflakes -

especially when they melt as they land!

Thanks for dropping by!

forming a quilt of feathery ice crystals.”
