Tax time is not the most favorite time of the year for most of us. Big and I will get a refund, but it will be less this year than most years in the past. Not too excited about that!
I wanted to make our tax time fun. So I put on my thinking cap and decided to have a Tax Time Tea! It is a simple tea, but I think it added a bit of fun to the whole situation!
I grabbed a yard of fabric that had dollar bills on it and made a table runner. I was going to make napkins also, but decided to save that fabric for another project! (You will have to wait and see what that is!)
I have had this little white teapot for quiet some time, so I don’t remember where I purchased it. The cups are from my collection of fiestaware. I love the sturdiness of the fiestaware
and thought it was appropriate for a Tax Time Tea. I really didn’t think that dainty cups and saucers would work! Who knows, I may be slamming my cup on the table when I see the small refund we will get – who knows, we may pay this year!!!!
Big got in the kitchen and made some fun sugar cookies. I love a good sugar cookie and these are delicious. There is a hint of almond and nutmeg in them. They are perfect and were easy to make.
I hope this Tax Time Tea inspires you to make paying taxes a little more fun.

Cynthia, I’m on to you. You’d rather be sewing money fabric and baking money cookies than doing your taxes! (me, too)
I would rather sew and bake! I am hoping I can go fabric shopping with some of my refund! Oh the possibilities!
What a fun idea! You can also pull out your new table runner for a monthly budget review and a tasty cup of tea. Love this.
Such a smart idea! Thanks for stopping by!
I love this post and blow the taxes I would rather eat your cake! Thank you so much for sharing on #wednadayswisdom
I’m going to copy this. Will start hunting for dollar bill fabric right away. I once did a Tax tablescape, but it was not nearly as clever as yours.
First off, thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I love to decorate my table for the holidays and thought, why not for tax time? I was excited to find the fabric and will be making more things with it. It is so fun!
