Saturday I got to hang out with a bunch of my friends and get my craft on at Creative Tea Time. The last one was in August and I never got to tell you about it, so I’ll share today. {Along with a giveaway of some of the amazing favors I received!}
First, I wore a cute new outfit.
Doesn’t a cute outfit make you feel better about yourself?
The night before the first Creative Tea Time, I felt like all my clothes were out of style. I mean, this is the longest I HAVEN’T been pregnant in over 7 years. So most of my clothes are ill fitting (too big and too small) and old… aka flare legged jeans. So after the kids went to bed I went to Target. And spent a bit (ahem) of money.
Doesn’t spending money make you feel better about yourself?
That may be a whole other post!
The décor was delightful. And we spent the whole day crafting and eating.
Good times.
Here is what I made, and how to make them yourself… {5 crafts}
Mini Atrium
You’ll need: Small glass container, small succulent, dirt, rocks, moss, various flare to decorate.
How-to: Fill only about half way with dirt and add everything together for your own mini atrium!
Stamped Spoon
You’ll need: Vintage spoon, old dish towel, hammer, metal stamping kit of the alphabet, black permanent marker
How-to: Place the towel on the ground and the spoon in between the folds of the towel. Hammer the top of the spoon flat {towel makes less noise and prevents scratching}. Follow metal stamping instructions for the word or phrase. Color over the letters with the permanent marker and wipe away so you can see the letters.
Wooden Sign
You’ll need: Wood, paint, letter stamps. Optional: fabric, yarn, hot glue for a bunting
How-to: Sign – Stamp letters onto wood. Bunting – Cut circles out of fabric and fold over yarn. Glue together to create half circles
Mine is at my front entry and everyone flips!
Mason Jar Snowglobe
You’ll need: Mason jar, hot glue gun, ‘snow’, stuff to put inside like bottle brush trees and reindeer.
How-to: Hot glue the stuff to the inside lid of the mason jar and put snow in the jar. Screw the lid on and flip over.
Fabric Strip Banner
Easy step by step instructions here.
We were also given a whole lotta swag!
Like a lot!!!
So I’m going to give some away.
Not because I’m nice, I just don’t wear a lot of jewelry or didn’t need whatever awesome thing that was given. You may be wondering if these favors are “leftovers.”
NOPE!
Absolutely not!
Everything was amazing and that’s why I’m doing the giveaway, to help promote the generous businesses who donated to Creative Tea Time.
(Otherwise I would just throw the stuff out… True Story.)
You’ll get a box filled with 14+ items of happy mail… and maybe a lid too!
Follow the instructions in the box below to enter!

Till next time!
