T Stands for Tuesday & Altered Playing Card Challenge

Playing catch up again.... story of my life is to be always catching up. :) 
I finally got my garlic planted today and that makes me very happy. Just a few garden chores left to finish and then it's over for this season. 




Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to work in the flower beds as they are in desperate need of attention. They have pretty much been ignored since July when my back went out. So I'll have my scooting bucket lid  out there to set on so I can get thongs cleared up a bit and the new Iris bulbs into the ground.
Everything is all leggy and falling over and nothing was deadheaded all summer. :( 



I did mange to get the  AP cards caught up on the weekend and that will be today's art. The new weekly challenge came out today and it looks fun so maybe I'll get this one done on time.... don't hold me to that though :)  
I finally finished the Inspirational Quote Deck too :) 




 Tonight I'm feeling slightly congested with an itchy throat so this weeks T is  a hot 
tea from Celestial Seasonings..♥

 I love their teas and this is just a selection of the ones I own and use. 
Plus all the herbal teas I make from my own herbs out of the garden. I just ordered more empty teabags today so I can start making up a supply of teas for the winter. 
Today'a Random Thought...

  1. I stopped by earlier in the day and just as I was about to leave a comment on your spirit woman and how well you captured the monarchs. BUT, my computer froze up and by the time I was able to get back online, you had already posted your T and APC post.

    I really LIKE those latest APCs. Your sea horse is gorgeous and I now have that song running through my mind. I also like Celestial Seasonings. Their blends are always fun. You are buying tea bags? What a concept for your herbs.

    Thanks for sharing your gorgeous art and your herbal teas with us for T this week.
