The Infamous Tea Party

This past year, 2008, sure has been a bitch!! It seems like everyone I know has had some sort of drama...since I'm over all that and only hoping that 2009 can only get better, I'm starting the year off right!! I'm throwing a "Tea Party" birthday bash for my mom in March. Unfortunately, she too had a bad 2008, she lost her husband, Charlie, to lung cancer in August. Incidentally, this was the same cancer my father died of when I was 10. She's a strong woman and she's holding up and standing tall. Anyway, a tea paty is what he would have wanted for her so that's what I'm doing. It will be an intimate setting in my backyard with 20 of her closest girlfriends and yes, with tea cups & saucers too!! In the meantime, I'll be practicing what I'll be making, baking & creating and sharing it all with you!! Maybe it will inspire you to have your own tea party!!
