I like cute cups!

 

Hi Friends,

It's the last day of the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop and I made a card for each day!!! yeah!!! I never realized how much I used my shoulders to craft until I couldn't use my right one. Especially with coloring.  Thankfully there are cute die cuts to the rescue.  I picked up this cute stitched cup Lawn Fawn die from Doodlebugswa.  I see they are sold out right now, but you can always click the out of stock and click on the "notify me" for when they are back in stock.  I paired it with some very old Washi tape from the now out of buisness Sweet Stamp Shop.  This sketch was begging for washi and I was looking for easy, so it worked well.  I rarely use washi tape, but when it was all the rage, I seemed to have acquired quite a bit of it, lol. 

I like cute cups and I wanted to include some cups I have picked up from DL. ART.  They are great quality and the art is on both sides of the cup, something that makes my coffee drinking experience very pleasant.  I am also acquiring quite a bit of her Crinkle Ribbon, which is very nicely dyed.  

I'm not pleased with the way any of my cards came out this hop, but I am blessed to have a very forgiving group of people who understand that sometimes, it's the best I can do under the circumstances and I love playing along and hopping around to see what everyone else made. Thank you Amy for hosting another successful hop! 

I did a thing this year, actually the last year and half. I joined Noom weight loss and have taken off 107 lbs so far.  For the past six months I have been up and down 5 lbs, but the rest will come off when my body is ready to release more.  But if this is as good as it gets, I'm truely thankful and blessed. The one thing that Noom said that got me join is, "No food/drink is off the table."  I feel like every diet I've ever been on, coffee or half n half was not allowed.  We all know that does not work, at least long term.  But Coffee and half n half are on the menu, every day and for the first time in forever, I feel like I might be able to sustain this weight loss. I just wanted to mention this because you are all my friends and if someone is looking for a weight loss program and doesn't want to give up their coffee, this might be for you too.  I'll leave you with a before and after picture.  The before is May 2021 when I first started. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!
