A CreafTEA Project

It’s been a while since I felt inspired to craft, thank goodness I have my vegetable garden to keep my mind busy and my body in motion. Gardening gives me the opportunity to retreave to a happy place in my head just like creafing often does. Last week was the first time that inspiration hit me while I was in my craft room. There was a tea bag on my desk from a happy mail that I received a while back. The art work and the colors where so pretty I didn’t want to throw it away so I kept it. This little bag inspired me to create a larger version and add a quote inside becuase quotes are always a good thing.

I liked this project so much that I decided to create a template of the bag and share it here with you. I also went as far as designing the pattern on the bag. I hope you like it. I have included 2 tags that will serve as the “tea bag” this is where you can add a quote or a message if you would like to use these as a gift tags. I think it would make a cute decoration to a pretty package.

This is the one that I made. I love it! Now you can make your own. Decorate the bag with the butterfly I am including in the freebie. Maybe print your quote, which is what I should have done.

The dotted lines are where you fold the paper. you won’t be able to see those once the bag is folded. You can pring the file on the white side of the single sided pattern paper if you would like the inside of the bag have a pattern Just like mine. I had to glue 2 pieces of the same paper to achive the look. You can also print the file twice and glue both pieces back to back and have the same pattern inside as well. I hope this made sense.

One last suggestion. You can use the print as a template and trace the design onto a pretty pattern paper and cut out the pattern. Have fun with this project any way you choose to create it.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you tag me if you share this project on your social media. @whitesugardesings

Have a lovely weekend.

June/One Question A Day

Are we halfway through 2020? unbelievable. I feel this is a good stopping point to re-evaluate my plans and my goals, not just for the rest of this year but for the next 5 years as well. All the questions for this month are based on me trying to focus on the future. Our family will be going through some changes and we need a plan, one that will help us have a vision of what our lives will be like in 5 years.

You can choose to answer them with a 1-year plan, a 3-year plan, or a 5-year plan. We are creative people, and creative people plan and if it makes sense to plan for the week, don’t you think we should plan for something a little bit bigger? Every successful business starts with a business plan, if we also want a successful life, we should have a life plan as well.

Download and print the questions. I use a bullet journal for this intentional writing exercise. One page per question. It is the first thing I do in the mornings while enjoying a cup of tea. Don’t forget there is a Spanish translation of the questions as well, thanks to my friend Paola Rosani. If anyone else would like to translate them in other languages I would be happy to share them here as well. I hope you find this project inspiring and useful. If you are following along, please share it with me so I can see your work. Use the hashtag #onequestionaday You might be inspiring some else out there.

One Question A Day-January to May

One question a day is one my most important projects. The response I have received has been amazing and I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I was so worried about the transitioning of my blog and I did not want to have any time lapse between months. Thank goodness publishing the new blog took no extra time.

To keep this post simple and questions easily accessible, I have decided to add all the questions here in this post. You will be able to download each monthly questions as needed starting with January. I will have a separate post for the questions that have been translated to Spanish by my friend Paola.

Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy this intentional writing exercise.
