Tea Faces and a Winner!
Written by joythebaker on March 20, 2009 – 11:17 pm -
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.

hehe! I know the guy with the red cup and black shirt! =þ I was the one who gave him the link for this site! That’s funny! =)
Wow, that’s so nice that you posted all our pictures! All those grins are for you Joy.
We ARE cute : ) This makes me feel like the internet is less impersonal! Like we are an internet community. Love it.
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!
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…
Yayyyyy! It’s so nice to see all of us smiling and toasting you with our tea mugs!
What a bunch of good looking readers you have Joy! Congrats to the winner.
So cute, so cute.
Seriously, this was adorable!
Hey Joy! You are so fun and creative. What a great idea! That is super fun!
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!
So sad my pic didn’t make it.
Really cute idea though
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!
Hi Joy (and all her friends)! This was so much fun- I love this blog and the community it helps create.
I feel famous! Thanks for posting all of those fun pictures. We should have a tea party one day.
Lovely!
What a fun post!
What a clever idea! I can’t believe how adorable this turned out. I can’t believe how long it took me to discover your blog, but I’m so happy I finally did!
This post is too cute…absolutely 2CUTE! I am so proud of all you brave souls that dared the camera. I was afraid I’d break the lens so I kept the lens cap on extra tight.
Very fun idea, Joy! And look at all those happy faces!
Joy, what a wonderful thing to see the faces of your followers! Congrats to Kate D. What a sweet daughter you have! Speaking of sweet, I love your blog!
AH! I got so excited to see mine above the fold…but alas, not to be. Still–darn, this site attracts the cuties, eh?
How nice of you to publish all our photos. That’s how we look like while reading your blog!
BTW This weekend I had your cranberry porridge/oatmeal (Sat) and chocolate chip panckes (Today). Yummy – and thanks;)
How fun is this?! One of your sassy sippers is my sister. Cute!
We had your chai spiced pancakes this morning for breakfast and they were delicious. Thanks!
Oh how cute! It’s so great to see some of the other readers! This was a fun giveaway, thanks Joy!
Nice to see a few Y chromosomes in there. Wow, do I ever feel like a minority
Quick random question. I cannot see the pictures on your blog, only text. Is there some sort of program I need to install to see it? Or do I need to use a different web browser? I feel like I am missing out! I didn’t see any of the smiling faces!
[...] Let’s Have a Bit of Fun Posted on March 24, 2009 by motherhen68 While reading one of my favorite new blogs, I decided to click on some of her sidebar links. I came to a blog called Joy the Baker. While her food looks AMAZING, it’s just way too high carby for me. Bummer. But while pursing her entries, she had a photo collage of her blog friends each drinking a cup of tea. [...]
Nice to see so many faces! I didn’t send any of me, a little camera shy. Glad to see so many followers!
