Make it work and a visit with T day friends

I am sharing a hybrid page with you all today and a reminder for the current challenge theme  over at

 Try it on Tuesdays, which can be interpreted in many  ways.

I am also going off to join friends at

  Bleubeard and Elizabeths

for T day, we are always made welcome with a drinks related post.

The page began is one of my smaller journal books , the usual sort of inky background that I seem to favour these days and the left over die cuts from my project last week.

T gang please notice the tea cup,

was as usual close by,  at this point in time on the coaster.
Minutes earlier it was on the  left side of my desk and an accident waiting to happen.

I  had stamped the image on to tissue paper,

then glued it to the page.

If the background wasn't messy enough to begin with it was now as I knocked the cup and spilled  some  of the tea..

Now I will mention here, that tissue and tea will not be parted, so my poor girl looks quite ill at this stage, even after mopping her up with  kitchen roll.

I did enjoy messing with the colours in my computer program and managed to lighten her up a bit and add some wording.

I think today was one of those days when throw it out wasn't an option, I was on a mission, to make my mess work for me.

On the left I am sharing another collage of photos from when we were in York.
 The  photo of the Shambles was taken early on Sunday morning showing the   restaurant we had our lunch in later that day.
Mine was a pasta with smoked chicken and mushroom  sauce, my OH's was a folded pizza filled with ham and cheese.




What I really wanted to share and don't be shocked, you know my preferred beverage is Tea.
   But  I did have a Coffee at the end of the meal.


Thank you for calling in today, I always enjoy your company.
Happy T day.
