Saturday morning we woke up to SNOW! Even when I don't want it, it is still a thrill to wake up and see something that happened during the night.
It didn't matter, we didn't have to go anywhere anyway, because we had a tea party to put on.
We started out by making party favor/place cards for our guests. I brought the materials for these cute felt cupcakes, and
Tirzah and I sewed them together, using her embroidery supplies.
We were pretty happy with the finished products. Then we put them on
cardstock for
placecards. I keep getting the kids names mixed up so I decided this day I would call everyone "cupcake", all day. What a silly grandma, but they loved it.
We also had to make some goodies. I called these "Snappy Kisses". they were pretzel snaps,
Hersheys Kisses and an m&m on top. Everyone could help with this project.
Pushing the M & M into the warm
chocolate kiss was
everyone's favorite part. Plus, we had to eat up the leftover M & M's.
Then the little ones went down for quiet time and
Tirzah and I baked the cookies and set the table...
Here I am wearing my new apron (a gift from my daughter) and my Martha Stewart Look.
What would YOU wear to a tea party?
Time for our tea party at last.
My plate has each of the goodies on it.
A close up of my favorite! (Snappy Jam Tarts).
If you look in the background, you will see "apple teeth", always requested.
...and this is why it is so much fun.

Snow! Followed by a day making mud pies. Oh, but what a wonderful tea party. Those cupcake placecards are adorable. Mixing up names! So funny. I remember my Nana going through the whole list of names until she got to the right one. Cupcake is a perfect substitute. Definitely goes along with the cupcake dress. I hope I remember those "cookie" recipes. I think they are much easier than frosting cupcakes for little hands. Your Martha Stewart look is perfect except for the dark tresses!
