Get your morning cup here...

Well, my big news is that we are expecting another little babe to be joining our family in a few months.

I am thrilled!

Of course, it also means I've changed some of my normal daily routines

like...

Decaf is still on the menu, but you know - it's just not quite the same...

But for those of you out there that still can (and love to) indulge in the lovely dark brew,

here is a collection of some intresting coffee related items.

I love personalization, and unique gift ideas

so this one really caught my eye:

from Sycamore Hill

She offers an amazing selection of witty and fun hand-stamped silverware, and offers custom orders too.

Just too awesome!

And then these mugs...

Personalized mug options abound - but these ones from Twisted River Clay are really special.

I love the unique wood grain design, sweet hand-carved initals, and lovely earthy colors.

Finally, this just made me laugh out loud - and I love that anytime:

Book Tag from IM Girl

So enjoy your morning cup, and have a fantastic weekend!

Business Cards to Bookmarks

 I had thought about this as a possible marketing idea a while ago, but of course never actually did anything about it. The last few days, however, I've been little by little going through the disorganized shelves and piles of do-dads, who-zits, and what-zits to try to bring some order to the regular chaos that is my work area.

I have these terribly ugly glass beads in an enormous quantity, together with this pack of embroidery thread that I would only ever use for something other than embroidery...

So I took a few minutes to finally see how these business card bookmarks might come together.

I'm hoping people would be less inclined to simply toss them if they are also somewhat functional.

Easy to make, so I'd thought to keep all the supplies in a box and ready to go so I can mindlessly make a bunch while I also mindlessly watch TV.

And if I can start putting to use these otherwise useless odds and ends, I will be very happy!
