Coffee with an old friend

I recently was given the chance to have coffee with an old friend... no coffee shop needed... we had coffee "virtually"... it was fun! It was amazing! I will do it again and again!!!  I didn't have to get out of my jammies, or start a cold car... I only had to brush my hair! 

Isn't that the best?

It left me thinking... I know there was coffee cup and Koozee (?) craze about a year or two ago, and I didn't jump on the bandwagon- but now I wanted one!

 I knew that Lorri Heiling  was the master mine (or one that I knew about) so I located her blog. (HERE) She even gives a great video of directions - so check it out.

 The only difference from mine to hers was that I made my lide slightly different. She used two pieces of white paper to make the "lip" of the lid, and I scored my lid to make the "lip" - and mine is double sided.  She is great and talented - so grab a cup of joe (or tea) and visit her!

A gift card fits perfect, as would the little singles from your favorite shop. Turn it into a 'tea' cup with a packet of tea. I made three of them, I love them and wanted some on hand for the reason that they are perfect little treats!  I will reconfigure to fit into an envelope for mailing purposes (maybe Lorri already does?)

Have a great day!

Fancy Flower Thanks.

Shamelessly, I have been making cards, that I need to send immediately. Nothing really in my "stash" - but I am trying! I had 4 thank you cards I needed to get out and most would have just duplicated the card. I tried. I used the same colors, but made them all different. I love the Lucky Limeade with Early Espresso, of course the pop of Daffodil helps too! 

I flipped the sketch, and with that, I am not sure if it meets the qualifications. 

You can join too!    You have until Thursday, January19 - so do it today!

Teeny Tiny Four Frames

Just when I thought I might be able to bring you some "greatness" - Tornado warnings ran thru the county, so it was quick and easy - and tuning into my surroundings... so you will see a use of scraps and the Four frames set that is a part of the Spring Blossoms promotion.

I grabbed some leftover Ice Cream DSP - and used it to border the right side of the Crumb Cake. Stamped the Four Frames after using markers to color it, punched it and popped it up on Dimensionals.  I used a spare scallop circle to make a rolled flower and put a rhinestone in the center.  Adding 3 rhinestones to the top left just seemed to finish it off!  Simple and done.

Lots of chatter about the tornados from the south, and those locally still buzzing around. I love the storms but there is a moment of saying "Mother Nature, are Tornados really necessary?" Enough is enough already! May those in the south - and now moving Northeast, be safe!

Have a great day!
