T Stands for......time to get things done!

Another T day already!
We have been quite busy this week and that paper mountain has gone down a lot - most of it shredded and put in the recycling bin!
I have had time for some crafting.
First a tag for Tag Tuesday.
The theme is 'Anything Goes', as you can imagine I have a lot of blue scraps - apart from the baby wipe flower, these were all in one of my large pencil cases! 

 I also made a Journal page for Valerie's Geometric shapes theme at Art Journal Journey.
I made this on a day when I was trying to work out menus, the sun was shining but you wouldn't know from this page!!!

 The sun was also shining here...
 the blossom is bursting on this tree..
...and the leaves are really coming out on this tree at last...
I bought this plant a few years ago but I don't think it's ever looked better than this!

For T stands For Tuesday with Bleubeard and Elizabeth I have gone back to one of the most indulgent desserts we have ever had! 
This was in September 2018 and was taken at The New York Cafe in Budapest - Our drinks came with a glass of water too!
I had a cappuccino and hubby had a very pretty looking hot chocolate!
You want a close up you say? O.K!
Hmmmm!!! Hubby did eat most of this...honestly!!!

Thanks for looking, please stay safe, Chris

    How can you be so mean to show me that delicious treat at the end....I need some NOW! I'm tempted to lick the screen, but it would probably taste of disinfection! Nice photos of the flowers, too. The tag and journal page are both gorgeous, thanks so much for linking to AJJ and Tag Tuesday, much appreciated. Stay safe, hugs, Valerie

    Love the blues of the tag. It's been chilly and raining most of the month so a glimpse at your flowering trees is the breath of Spring we are missing. That is some dessert and so beautifully plated. Take care and Happy T Day

    Wow! fantastic dessert re-visit ~ YUM ~ Your tag is terrific! so many wonderful elements, especially the postage and the tag on a tag ~ I never would have thought of that. We do need to believe in ourselves and that we will get through this and be stronger ~ Blessings to you

    Your tag is great for being recycled. I was intrigued by the baby wipe flower. Would LOVE to know how you made it. It;s very clever.

    I also really enjoyed your journal page. It's gorgeous and made me appreciate the black and white background you created. I enjoyed reading the sentiments, too. Well done, indeed and nice that it matches Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey.

    The trees have really started to leaf out and your flower is gorgeous. I bet you are thrilled, too. Could it be because you stayed home during April this year that the plant got extra attention?

    Indulgent is right. That ice cream and fruit look wonderful. Is there sorbet in it, too? It's truly wonderful and now I'm truly hungry. I'll take T's hot chocolate. I can have coffee any time (grin)!

    Thanks for sharing your art, your photos from around the condo, the plant, your coffee and T's hot chocolate, as well as that incredible dessert with us for T this Tuesday.

    Nice tag Chris-I love the blues. And your AJJ page is really cool-did you color in all those diamonds? Thanks for linking up at AJJ. And your dessert looks amazing and isn't that one of the thing that is so much fun about traveling? Oh one day. Hope it was a great T day Chris. Hugs-Erika

    Uups, I´m late! Cute tag, but what is a baby wipe flower?

    Thank you,the Journal page sure helps me. Aw, all those colors, grey here today.

    Yes, in Perth we got tap water for free, too and I thought I´ll have to pay for it and luckily my Perth friend read my face before I could exclaim, "I did not order this!"
    Hmmm, fresh fruit!
    A belated happy T-day to you, Chris! x

    Pretty blue tag, Chris. I love the Believe in Yourself page. I think you could link it to TioT for the B&W with one other (main) color theme too.

    Wow, now that's an amazing dessert! Nice memory.

    Happy T-Day! Eileen xx

    Lovely art this week. I loved that you reused scraps for your journal page. And that dessert looks delicious! When hubby and I share a dessert, usually I am the one that eats most of it.I have quite the sweet tooth.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

    Well done on your paper shredding - and also on using up all those scraps on both the tag and the page. You've been paper-recycling and then some this week!

    Love the blue tag, especially that lovely stamp at the centre of it. Golly - how long is it since a 15 and a half pence stamp would get anything further than your own front door step? I mean, there isn't even such a thing as a ha'penny any more!!

    Lovely page with all those diamonds too - really dramatic.
