I Need A Cuppa ...

Mug 32 from Connie Calderon

My Cuppa With Friends project is finally starting to get back on track

after a few weeks of the dreaded winter sinus infection attack

which has seen me doing my best impression of a pathetic needy sick person

I think I may have overplayed it though 

as there was a distinct lack of sympathy over the last few days

they haven't even been making me cups of tea

and I really need a cuppa I have to say

Day 31 ... tea cup from Rebecca Britt

Being unwell and needing a cuppa is bad enough

but combine that with the house being overrun with people on winter break

and in short, it has been a madhouse of noise, sneezing, snuffling,

 fighting over the remote and who ate the last of the chocolate

not to mention we have done some home improvements
so while the area down the side of the house is looking much improved
nerves are a touch frazzled

and the poor Cuppa project and ICAD have suffered mightily

Day 30 ... mug from Jean Zoss

That isn't to say I haven't been thinking about it

because I have been... in fact I spent a bit of time getting some stats together

so I have received 138 emails since the beginning of June

and they have included 208 photos

some emails had multiple cups and mugs for me to choose from

while others sent multiple views of the one mug or tea cup

but even taking them out multiples is a rather magnificent number of mugs and cups

and they have come from 9 different countries

very very cool when I see it like that

Day 29 ... mug from Melissa Dowling

Of course seeing those numbers it got me thinking

the challenge is supposed to end on July 31

and even when I catch up after this little mini break

then there will be soooo many that are going to be ignored

and well that just doesn't seem right

so I am thinking I will extend it as long as people keep sending me cups and mugs
and just do one post a week and update the board on Pinterest until they are done

or until you all get completely sick of them

what do you think... is it genius or madness to extend and attempt to keep it going

do you all think you will be mugged out by the end of this month????

I have to say I am loving this project 

and thanks to so many of you supporting it and being part of it

I can't express how much it means to me... seriously

now if one of you would pop over and make me a cuppa life would be much improved...xx
