Mother Daughter Tea Party
In 2000, I wanted to start a new family tradition...a Mother Daughter Tea Party. My mom agreed. So we invited all my aunts, their daughters, my grandma and me and my mom, of course, to tea.
We've been having tea ever since. The Saturday before mother's day all the women in my family get together for great food, laughter and exchanging of gifts. This tradition has generated treasured memories, helped my family through difficult seasons of life, and there are a ton of pictures of my family that we never would have had. In 2008 my grandma passed away. My cousin asked everyone for pictures they had with her to make a collage for the viewing. Most of those pictures that were used were from these tea parties. This year, we decided to continue the tradition. It was so much different without my Grandma. But so much healing took place because during Easter I had my aunts and cousins each make a page for a scrapbook of my grandma's life and I gave it to one of my aunts and had made a copy of the albumn for my mom. The scrapbook for my aunt was the first time I really used the cricut to do my scrapbooks, and this albumn is the 2nd book I used my cricut with. It looks nicer, but seems to take so much longer to do a page. But I still love my cricut for doing cards and it's made it easier to do all these pre-made scrapbook pages. Enjoy!!!
