Spot of Tea Design’s 2018 Reader’s Feature

in Blogger, Lifestyle

This is one of my favorite posts of the year as its filled with things that made me smile! It seriously makes my day to be tagged on social or receive an email from a follower who is enjoying something seen on my blog’s page. Whether it’s a kids craft they’re trying out, a free printable they used as a gift or they made something for their child’s party, I can’t get enough!

2018 Spotofteadesigns.com Reader's Feature

This year was a bit different as some of the submissions in this Reader’s Feature are from people who purchased items from my Etsy shop! I can tell you from personal experience that you make small business owners happy every time you leave a review, give a follow up message on the reaction of a gift you custom created or tag them in a photo of custom art hung in their home. I encourage everyone to go ahead and follow up with all those small shops you purchased from this holiday season and make their day as well!

Now without further ado, check out the 2018 Reader’s Feature Submissions as shared by you!

Reader’s Submissions:

Spotofeadesigns.com reader's feature - christmas flip books by Sara

Spotofteadesigns.com reader's feature - christmas flip books by Debbie

In January I showed off my Christmas card flip books on Instagram stories and polled my followers if they’d want the tutorial as a blog post and got an overwhelming “yes.” A few weeks later it went live then I got emails from Sara (a loyal follower who has not only been a past Reader’s feature submission but has also guest posted) and Debbie showcasing their flipbooks!

Reader's Feature - Blake and the handmade tooth fairy pillow. free template on spotofteadesigns.com

My oldest nephew finally lost his first tooth and proudly added it to the tooth fairy pillow I created him for Christmas last year! My sister sent me this photo letting my mom and I know about this big milestone!

A post shared by Friends Preschool (@friendsartlab) on Jun 15, 2018 at 9:43am PDT

Last year I created these pretty watermelon canvases which I used for their birthday party. This summer I discovered people were adding pictures to the “tried it” section of pinterest and soon I got a tag from Friends Art Lab and how they did it with the kids and it totally made my day!

 

Thank you @spotofteadesigns for the last minute end of school idea 🍡🍬🍭

Shortly after sharing my “Orange you glad it’s summer” tags, I got tagged by Mrs_Cuevas on instagram where she used them for cute end of the school year gifts!

My bestie and SOTD contributor, Allie, saw this String Art Skull I was commissioned to make for Wholesale Party Supplies and quickly made her own to add to her Halloween decoration collection!

Maggi sent me these photos of my Count the Waves print done in custom colors for her ADORABLE mermaid themed nursery!

Spotofteadesigns.com Reader's Feature - Betsy's Baby nursery featured a "count the waves" printable customized in her color schemes.

And Betsy sent me these photos of her the same print, done in custom colors matching her aqua and coral colored nursery! I LOVE seeing these hung in someone’s home!

Spotofteadesigns.com reader's feature - custom digital silhouettes of 17 grandkids

I was happy to have helped lots of people gift their moms and mother-in-laws a digital silhouette portrait gift of the kids in their family this Mother’s Day and Christmas. I was honored when Kyle got in touch with me to do my largest family design to date with 17 kids! It was framed as an anniversary gift given over Thanksgiving and I think it turned out great! Thank you to everyone who has since posted a review with a photo of theirs or sent it to me directly to see! I love seeing how differently they are all framed!

And THANK YOU again to each person who tagged me on social media that they created one of my items or who allowed me to be part of their special day with a custom design! I have had nothing but great clients thus far and look forward to making something special for many more!

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate Cardstock pennant banner tip - create the separate piece shown on the video and add it to the back of your pennant to help it hang more securely, hide the ribbon and not move as much when hung.

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
