i've been invited to join risa's virtual tea party... and since i've had quite the busy week, with a darn busy weekend to follow, i thought i take up on the offer.... sadly, i can't take any good photos because my batteries keep dieing... maybe for valentine's day i will ask for rechargeable batteries...
however, i must relax, right?! my tea time is nowhere near as sophisticated as it should be... here, i sit with my caffeinated chai (out of a tin, not even aunthentic chai) as i type while on the phone waiting... and waiting... and waiting.... i'm trying to get a hold of the insurance company, which is always busy... and then i am trying to get a hold of the dentist office, which leaves me on hold for over 6 minutes... i switch off calling both places, hoping to reach one of them.... and all the while, diego climbs on me as elmo discusses the issue of hats... so would you call this relaxing?
but i won't complain... at least things are getting done.... i have a few cards to make tonight after diego goes to bed... and then tomorrow we switch rooms- diego and the baby get the bigger room while ramel and i get the smaller one.... i will show photos of that (depending on my batteries' mood)- what nursery have you seen that is half full of superman stuff?! hehe... and after all the moving, i will be working on some notebooks for the shop... it's time i do more than just notecards, eh?! ah, a few more illustrations will be fun too but all in time... all in time....
well, it's time to get another cup of chai, figure out what diego and i will do today, and finish up on emails... thanks, risa for joining me :)
wow! sure sounds like you could a nice relaxing tea. Too bad we can't make it a real break for you, but it was nice that you could find a couple minutes to stop by :)

Hi!I came across your website from another blog called momspotting. Anyways, I just wanna say that I really really like your work. You are absolutely great with those papers and scissors.
I wish I was nifty like that so that I could be a SAHM and have a home based job too.
Keep doing what you are doing.

Your notebooks look very cute! Hope the room moving is quick and easy and you get to relax again with a nice cuppa :)

It was good having tea with you! Hope you find a few moments of peace and relaxation in the middle of all the busyness.
