ExoTic Iced Tea....coolers

So what's in the glass this week?  A great mix of Watermelon Mint Chiller and Berry Mint classic, made strong and iced down.  Makes a beautiful red tea and I am showing it off in my Mom's OLD glass pitcher.  I am not an avid tea drinker (as you all know by now) but I do like iced tea in the summer, but flavored teas I like sweetened.  I didn't want to add sugar, or sugar substitutes, but I wanted a little sweetness and some kind of fizz, like a wine cooler.  So me, being me, I poured in some of my diet flavored carbonated water and waaa laa!  Just what my taste buds were craving.  I know this sounds too obnoxiously outrageous to most, but it REALLY is good, and I have been drinking it everyday.  It is great for the late afternoon pick-me-ups.

Since I used all that was left in both tins it made quite a bit of tea, more than pictured, so I put it in a container and stuck it in the freezer.  It is going to come in handy next week when we are at the beach.

Why am I going on about iced tea?  Because it is time to link up with Elizabeth the Altered Book Lover an make the rounds to see what's in your cup!

So Saturday I said I would show some of my paintings.  So here are the ones hanging in the craft/office room:  They are kind of at a skew, so the flash wouldn't blow out the pictures.


17" x 20" oil.  The flash caused the wavies in the upper right corner.
 This room is atrocious for taking pictures.
I copied her off a post card.

11" x 15" graphite sketch with water color
dry brushed over it.

16" round oil, again with the wavies from the flash.....ugh!

17" x 20" oil.  I took this outside for the picture,
I couldn't get any where near good in this room.

17" x 20" oil.  She hangs in the door way of the craft/office.
She is my favorite, and the only one that has
hung in any other room of the house.

Here they hang, well three of them.  I wasn't going
to include this photo because of the state this room
is in.  This will be rectified once we are back for
the beach trip.........I Promise! LOL 

So that winds up my Tea Stands for Tuesday.  I'm off to make the rounds, while getting my laundry done.  Getting ready for the beach, but have to wait for the Playhouse to be brought home so I can start getting it loaded................only 4 more days till we leave.....wooooop! wooooop!
