Today is National Coffee Day & what better way to mark this occasion than with a crafty blog hop!!!? Chaitali & Amy decided to go big this week in organizing this cool bloghop and I’m so very happy to a part of it.

This isn’t my drink of preference, but I do love me some pumpkin spice! I started drinking coffee when I was 2 (gasp)! My mom let me have little teaspoons in my play tea set & I blame that fact for my short height! My favorite coffee blend is Starbucks Guatemala Antigua- it’s smooth, chocolatey, and dark. The most amazing coffee I ever had (this is what inspired my card) was from a little cafe in Seattle. The baristas there are ARTISTS & the entire cafe had a very rustic industrial feel with wood and galvanized metal accents! And, if it weren’t for coffee, I’d probably have a crazy chocolate addiction!
