Across The Miles Tea Poem
Card stock
Glue
Printed Poem
Tea Bag
This project is a great little gift either for posting or for kids to give as gifts.
Start by cutting out a tea pot shape and attaching the tea bag to the inside along with a copy of your chosen poem from below.
We also have another version of this tea poem especially for christmas which comes with a pine cone tree.
Christmas Tea Poem
--Overseas Poem---
There are too many miles between us
for me to get to you.
So I am sending you a tea bag and this will
have to do.
So make your self a cup of tea
and when you drink it I'll think of you and
you think of me
together sharing a cup of tea.

------Friends----
I cannot sit and chat with you,
the way I'd like to do.
So brew yourself a cup of tea,
I'll think of you, you think of me.

----Feeling Sad----
When you are feeling sad & blue
And have no clue what to do
Sit down and have a cup of tea
And a hug or two or maybe three
Feel those troubles melt away
And start you on a better day.
(by Paulette, 1998~~TLC Creations)
----Tea Cure All---
Tea that helps our head and heart.
Tea medicates most every part.
Tea rejuvenates the very old.
Tea warms the hands of those who're cold.
(J. Jonker, Amsterdam circa 1670 )
----Troubles---
If I could take your Troubles,
I would toss them in the Sea.
But since I can't, I'm sending you,
My favorite cup of tea.

I can't wait to do this project. I have a lot of friends that need a pick me up. where do I get a template for the teapot?
I did this one year and all my friends LOVED it.
I am just surfing you wonderful site here. I certainly intend to do up this little tea pot for my girlfriend. It is just so cute. Love your other items also.Thank you

Love the simplicity of this project. But especially love the little Aussie Koala, Blinky Bill is his name, on the front. Perfect for my distant friends.
I found your site today and I really love the ideas for the tea bag and holder. I also love your poems. Thank you so much!

Here is another verse for Christmas
On Christmas Day
At half past three,
Boil yourself a cup of tea.
I'll think of you,
You'll think of me.
Merry Christmas
This is really cute. My sisters will love this especially before we have a tea party. What a way to look forward to getting together. Thank you for sharing.
I'm going to use this idea..and include a mug mat ..thank you for sharing this wonderful little gift..
just the idea I needed to send friends and family across the miles while we are on the island of Guam!
i luv the poems but does anyone have the pattern for the tea pot to cut out
I have made this for a fundraiser and it was a mega hit! if you can get the envelopes that the lil teapot fits in it's the perfect card that will go through the mail with a single stamp like a regular letter/card. thanks for this one!
this was ok
this was the most sweetest thing i have ever sent my friend
this is very cute and very warming to the heart to loved ones
just wonderfull thank you
very cute idea, I will surely use this. Thanks
I'm excited to make this for my boyfriend in scotland.
Thanks for sharing the idea online....sent to me by a friend- I hope to put the idea to use.
I intend to send this idea, madeup of course to friends that are far away
Great idea
very good alway find some thing to do
very nice it cheered up my friend
this will be a very nice "filler" for my familly and friends in the UK.
I THOUGHT THE POEMS WERE GREAT
easy thankyou
i love this just be weary when sending tea over seas it might pay to use a sealed teabag. again fab idea its my xmas card to friends o/s
This will make a nice gift gesture for my Red Hat sisters.
Hard enough to cut out to make older kids feel it is not a baby project yet simple enough to assemble that it will not tax their patience.
My Mom has plenty of tea bags so this was an easy project!
I'm going to put little packets of homemade Christmas tea and use Christmas wrap on top of cardstock.
Awesome idea!
