In the spirit of holiday entertaining…every year I make my friends “Friendship Tea”. This year I decided to put the tea in an extra special tin just for holiday giving. Although it was VERY hard to cut my favorite Barcelona paper – Manresa but I took one for the team – pout.
The Friendship Tea is very easy to make and fun to give. I have friends that actually look forward to my Friendship Tea every year…and wait till they see their tins this year! IF I can actually bare to give them away…
Product used:
Barcelona paper – Manresa
Victoria paper – Jubilee
97% Complete sticker- Merry
Red bird brad- Chelsea Brads
Gaffer Tape – stitches
Friendship Tea – aka Russian Tea
1 cup Tang Beverage Mix
1/2 cup sugar

Hi Barbara Jean,
Unfortunately the Advent kits are sold out. But we are still doing tutorials for the tags.
Just for future reference the Etsy Button is on the blog http://www.2gypsygirls.com. It is an orange square that says Etsy in the left sidebar.
No worries, you are not the first to ask!
