I do everything now myself I cut the wood with a miter box and a lil ole saw and then i sand them with a piece of sandpaper so tomorrow I am going to buy a palm sander...that should hopefully make my job a little easier!<br />New Stamps coming to the etsy shop tomorrow yay!<br />Rue<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/43480392129168288-2927144241914623363?l=stamparue.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ruehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11776685495487380931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43480392129168288.post-11387283264276303602008-02-07T19:41:00.000-08:002008-12-11T01:04:38.136-08:00Since I have this insane hobby of tea drinking & collecting, I decided to write reviews on the new teas I try....New teas to me anyway!<br />I have a large basket on my kitchen counter full of teas.....I collect Teapots/ tea related things and I hope one day my kitchen to be a mix of Teapots and Asian inspired decor...should be easy...This hobby is supported by one of my favorite people Steve. Sometimes without his support and opinion I would be lost...yes even when it comes to tea! <br />On with the review! <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vnz0PYR7QFk/R6vP8-NRItI/AAAAAAAAABM/knMbDVVVvG8/s1600-h/CIMG0904.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vnz0PYR7QFk/R6vP8-NRItI/AAAAAAAAABM/knMbDVVVvG8/s320/CIMG0904.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164450044108153554" /></a><br />Feeling my throat getting sore and just feeling sick in general I went to my tea basket and picked up a unopened box of Celestial Seasonings honey vanilla chamomile....I opened the box and mmmm the smell was divine and sweet....Brewed a cup and was pleasantly surprised...<br />I have never enjoyed any chamomile tea before but I adore this one.<br />The ingredients complimented each other...this tea includes orange peel which gives it that nice burst....<br />After I drank it my throat felt much better which is also a plus! <br />This tea will titillate your senses<br />So go pick it up at your local Grocer! =P <br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vnz0PYR7QFk/R6vP9eNRIuI/AAAAAAAAABU/xgEG8iBdFAk/s1600-h/CIMG0908.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Vnz0PYR7QFk/R6vP9eNRIuI/AAAAAAAAABU/xgEG8iBdFAk/s320/CIMG0908.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164450052698088162" /></a><br /><br />On a different tea note I saw a woman in the Chinese restaurant today swishing her tea...I got to thinking hmmm Why is she doing this?? I remember hearing about people swishing wine...but never tea...<br />So of course I googled it (I google just about everything) And I found out about the benefits of swishing green tea....aparently its beneficial even if you dont drink it..<br />hmmm interesting...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/43480392129168288-1138728326427630360?l=stamparue.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ruehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11776685495487380931noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43480392129168288.post-46289402916962061802008-02-05T14:36:00.001-08:002008-12-11T01:04:38.538-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vnz0PYR7QFk/R6jlP-NRIrI/AAAAAAAAAA8/QK6YPP69ffI/s1600-h/CIMG0900.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vnz0PYR7QFk/R6jlP-NRIrI/AAAAAAAAAA8/QK6YPP69ffI/s400/CIMG0900.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163629035339719346" /></a><br />We had a bad hail storm today!
