Take Time for Tea

Those who know me well know that I am a total tea addict.  You rarely find me without a mug or glass of tea in my hand.  I like it hot in the winter and iced in the summer.  But it's not just any tea,  I enjoy loose full leaf teas and herbal blends.  My favorite teas come from adagio teas and Teavana.

I was so excited when Daydream Designs released their Tea Time collection of digis that I decided to do a layout about my current favorite teas.  I say current, because my favs tend to change from month to month. LOL.

I used the Parisian Tea Color Set,  the French Florals Digi Papers and the Tea Time Sentiments Bundle on my page.

In celebration of tea,  I have a little give away.   I have four packages of loose leaf tea to give to four of my fellow tea lovers.  Just leave a comment that you'd like one and send me your e-mail address and I'll send one out to you.
