It's going to be a quickie today as I am still ill. I have had the mother of all tummy bugs for on and off two weeks. I'm not eating and I'm dehydrated and fed up! I have got pills which do help but I still can't eat much without feeling nauseous. Yuk.
I am sitting at my desk utterly exhausted but I will carry on and finish this post.
Here is my postcard which arrived this morning (I'm writing this late Monday night):
The stamp is beautiful too:
Ill though I was, I had to make some Christmas cards. I always send my sister one and for the first time I made a pop-up card. She doesn't usually read my blog so I can safely show you:
I had found some matching/coordinating papers and cards from an old Anna Griffin kit, but I had never done the pop-up bit. It turned out well I think:
I love turtles and have a Pinterest turtle page. Here are a few images of turtle tea pots:
They are made by Minton if I am not mistaken.
And this is a cutie:
My favorite is the very first one. Which one do you like best?
That's it from me today.
Happy T-Day all of you,
Hugs,
Lisca

I know what you mean about Christmas birthdays not getting cards, that's one of my problems! Love all those fun tea-pots and cups, hard to choose a fave there. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
Yes, the Christmas cookies look very pretty! Your poinsettia pop up card is gorgeous! I like the last turtle teapot most.
Happy T Day! Rike
Sorry to hear you aren't feeling great Lisca. But your cards came out great. Nice pop up one. And I also like those turtles. They make cool teapots. :) Hope you are back on your feet soon. Happy T day. Erika
I was saddened to read you were still sick. It's been too long and being dehydrated can be a problem with these types of stomach bugs. Please get better soon and drink lots of water.
Love the postcard. Now I want cookies, too.
Those teapots are adorable. I like them all, as I know how much you love turtles. I can't possibly decide which, because that would be like asking which of my cats I liked better (grin).
Thanks for sharing these with us for T this Tuesday.
Sorry to hear you are so unwell, I hope you are feeling much better soon! Those cookies on the postcard look amazing and I love the postage stamp, I wonder what the old tree would tell us if it could talk 😀. The poinsettia pop up card that you created is amazing, you did such a beautiful job! I enjoyed seeing the fun turtle teapots too. Sending you get well wishes and happiness this T Day! J 😊
So sorry you are not feeling well-hugs to you. The cookies are so beautiful on the postcard-I love to bake but have never been good with the decorating at all
Your pop up card turned out beautiful-I have not tried to make one of those yet. and wow I really loved seeing all of those turtle tea pots-they made me smile loved them Happy tuesday Kathy
What an awful time of year to be sick :( I hope you're well soon! That pop-up card is gorgeous! I like the teapot with matching cups best, because those cups! What fun it would be serving tea with that set :) Happy T Tuesday
I do hope you will be feeling better soon, look after yourself.
The cards you made look fantastic, the pop up card is a great design.
Its hard to choose a favourite teapot, but i think maybe the second one would be my choice.
Happy T day wishes.

So Sorry to hear that you are ill. Stomach bugs are never fun. Your card is so lovely for your sister. The dimension is a winner! And I love that first turtle teapot with the cups. So pretty!
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Sorry to hear you're still ill, Lisca :-( Being dehydrated can be dangerous. Take good care of yourself. Your pop-up card is terrific! You did a great job. I relate to the Christmas birthday issue, as my birthday in Christmas Eve. It bothered me as a child, but as an adult having a Christmas birthday makes the day extra special.
Your turtle tea pot pictures are charming. I think I like the first one best as well. I love the dull glazed finish.
Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
Sorry you're feeling under the weather. Your pop-up card turned out great. The turtle teapots are all so cute. It's hard to pick a favorite. Happy T Day! Hope you feel better soon.
Oh! That cookie postcard ……wonderful! I love the card you made! The turtle pots are fabulous - they could ALMOST make me into a tea drinker! LOL! Sorry to be so late for T! Yesterday was a little hectic! Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx
