Tea----------- one of natures wonders


I can almost hear you wondering,  what was she thinking  for  this page.
 so I will explain....

Legend has it that tea was discovered by
 Chinese Emperor Shen Nung in 2737 BCE
when a tea leaf accidentally fell into his bowl of hot water
and the rest is history.




I started off with my own base journal spread layer. A closer look would show random pieces of paper glued down  to  cover the whole area.
I then added some digital images.
This base layer might appear again sometime as it wasn't meant to be used  here.
I thought of the tea flavours I liked, but if I had to have one last cuppa it would be a good old brand of ordinary tea.




So, as the cup was now empty,
 it was off to put the kettle on,
 settle in a comfy chair

 to spend a little time
 with Meg and enjoy a fresh brew
and maybe watch more of the Olympics.







The page will fit two purposes for me this busy Tuesday--
I can go off and visit with friends for 
T stands for Tuesdays


and join in Gill's current theme at

which is Natures Wonders.

Tea is one of natures wonders that I would find  very hard to do without.

Thank you for stopping by to see me today and share a cuppa. you are all very  welcome.

My apologies if I have missed  or visited you late,  blogger is not showing all posts on my dashboard or feed list.  But I don't think I am alone with this problem.
My Try it on Tuesdays post will be along in a short while.

  5. Well, I'm quite impressed, Yvonne. Not only did you share a wonderful spread on tea, but you taught me something about it, too. It was certainly interesting how tea came to be a favorite drink of many around the world.

    Of course, I also love Meg's mug, too. She has such an adorable face, it belongs on a mug that you use for your favorite tea.

    Thanks for sharing this lovely art AND Meg's mug with us for T this Tuesday. It also made a great AJJ entry.

  14. This is an amazing page Yvonne. I love the retro feel- what a cute couple. And there is nothing better than a good cup of tea in my book. I wish I could see mroe of the Olympics but my tv provider isn't carrying the channel. :( Not a good thing. Enjoy-Hugs-erika
