About

Ok So I saw this contest for Finish This Book by Keri Smith, and thought the leaf book mini project they showed was awesome, I really wanted to make a booklet of fall leaves, buuuut Hawaii doesn't have beautiful fall colors, lol. S

So I decided that it would be a great way to keep track of my tea samples :) I always keep my tea envelopes! I have been storing them in a plastic baggie in a drawer with the intend to do something creative with them.

I sewed all the tea envelopes together and then sewed on the little paper cover. I didn't like the way my thread laid so I covered it with a fabric scrap that doubles as a bookmark.

On the back of each of the envelopes I glued a tiny bit of paper in the shape of a tea bag, and then wrote a few words about the tea :) Along with a 1-5 Star Rating! Some are just "meh *" and some are "Ah-mazing!!! *****" lol It will help me remember which ones I LOVE and which I should probably not buy again, lol.

I made this book for the contest, but I honestly think it is amazing! I cant wait until I have a whole sets and volumes of tiny tea trackers!

Enjoy <3
