Tea Cats Pocket Letter - and I have Candy!

Hello, everyone!  Welcome to the first day of the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Anyone can join the hop, so I hope you'll check it out!  Just link up a summer-themed project featuring images of coffee, tea, or cocoa!  The hop runs through Friday, June 24.  To add to the festivities, I have a candy giveaway! See details below!

My project is a Pocket Letter featuring tea and kitties! If you're unfamiliar with Pocket Letters, you can read about them here. This one will be on its way to someone shortly, with the pockets filled with crafty goodies! It was so fun to make!  I used some adorable new images from Knitty Kitty Digis!  If you would like to win some of these cute Knitty Kitty Digis, please see details of the candy giveaway at the bottom of this post!
