Tea Faces and a Winner!

Look at you!
No… seriously. Look at you! You’re adorable!
I have some seriously cute readers. Um…. you guys!? I had no idea you were so cute and sassy. Yes… even you Rory, with your Tazmanian Devil mug. You’ve got sass. You’ve got class. You’ve got cuteness for days.
I think I’ve got a crush on each and every one of you.
Can we do this every day? You know… you send me a cute self pic and I giggle at how precious you are? Yea? Ok, great.

In all reality, your pictures improved my life by exactly 56.6%. I did the math.
See, I bop around my kitchen singing songs, baking cookies and taking pictures. It feels great. It brings me a lot of joy. Then I sit down at a computer, fiddle around, type some words and press some buttons. You come. You read. You giggle. My smartypants computer tells me exactly how many of you came and left, and came back again… and that’s how my days progress.
But to see your faces. To hear your stories about your favorite tea cup, and where it comes from, and where you come from… and just to get a glimpse of your life. Well geeeeez! It really touched my heart. I mean that with all sincerity. Thanks for playing along here like you do. It means so much to me.
Have I mentioned how cute you are!? Seriously. Out of control.

We have some business to take care of, don’t we?
One of you smiling people gets treated to a super sleek Rishi Tea pot and some stellar Rishi Teas. I hope the rest of you are content with the fact that your faces put a smile of my face that should last for weeks to come.
Kate D! Lucky You!

Thank you Rishi Tea for your generosity.
If by chance I didn’t get your photo in the grid, please please accept my sincere apologies. It’s possible that I received your photo after the big grid mock-ups, or your photo didn’t come through correctly. So. Sorry.

Hi Joy (and all her friends)! This was so much fun- I love this blog and the community it helps create.
Mine didn’t make it up either…but I sent it in a bit late! It is nice to see all the happy tea cup photos! Thanks for bringing us all a little closer!
So sad my pic didn’t make it. :(
Really cute idea though
This really was so much fun. Thanks, Joy! I’m really glad you decided to post all of the pictures of us. Also, I just finished eating the carrot cake pancakes for breakfast with my husband, and they were wonderful!
Hey Joy! You are so fun and creative. What a great idea! That is super fun!
Seriously, this was adorable!
So cute, so cute.
What a bunch of good looking readers you have Joy! Congrats to the winner.
Yayyyyy! It’s so nice to see all of us smiling and toasting you with our tea mugs!
I, too, love to bop around my kitchen singing songs, baking and taking pictures. (I suggest She & Him for muffins) I had the amazing luck to stumble upon your blog your very first month. I live on the East Coast, but if I ever ran into you on the street, I would probably babble away like we were old friends. Thats how you make us feel. Every day. Today I feel like I have all these new friends! I feel so lucky! Next time I’ll have to remember to send my picture, too. Joy, you are AWESOME. Thanks for every day deliciousness…
Oh Joy! Thank you! We’re so excited! We had carrot cake pancakes to celebrate. We love everyone’s pictures. What fun to see everyone’s faces!
We ARE cute : ) This makes me feel like the internet is less impersonal! Like we are an internet community. Love it.
Wow, that’s so nice that you posted all our pictures! All those grins are for you Joy.
