I was recently invited to join a Moley swap. This would be my first swap of this kind. The moley we are using in this swap is an according style Moleskin journal and are 3.5 x 5.5. My group has eight participating artists including myself. Each one of us picked their own personal theme and each of the eight artist will add a layout featuring that theme. The interpretation of that theme is left up to the artist with some guidance from the owner of the Moley. My theme is Tea Party. I picked this theme because I love my tea. But more importantly, during the recent Hurricane Irene, we lost all power and because of that all our appliances including the stove. My husband knowing how much I love tea stood outside on the porch and made me my cup of tea on the grill. Just loved that! My guidelines were hopefully simple in that I didn't care who was having the tea party including aliens or animals, just that it not be an inanimate object like dolls and bears. I've seen so many of those, that I just didn't want them included in my journal. Before my journal went on its journey, I decorated the cover, the inside cover and the first three pages of the according pages. Here's to the start of my moley's journey!

What gorgeous pages! What a great theme! Love that your hubby made you tea on the grill! What a sweet guy!
Great theme for a swap! I'm a big tea lover too. It must be black tea though, like Assam. Mmmmm...
Thanks for your comment on my blog! :) I take my class at Jessica Sprague. Have a wonderful day!
HUGS. What a sweet husband. I absolutely love my tea and it's a must have in the morning for me.
LOVE your themes you have going on with your moley swap.
