I've combined challenges today with the Twisted Sister's challenge being 'home sweet home' and Flourishes challenge to be inspired by our favourite beverage and it's container.
Well, my house would just not be 'home' without coffee in it!! I welcome all my guests with Coffee, or tea if they prefer, but there are not many who can resist the aroma of a fresh brew in my home! lol Even if you don't like coffee there is something about that aroma that invites and comforts, don't you think?
I always enjoy my coffee more in the company of a friend or two or three... so the Flourishes sentiment is perfect! The cup is similar to one of my favourites too. I've always wanted to own a set a Denby blue stoneware, but I settled for buying myself one lovely mug!!
Thanks so much for looking and have a good Monday!

Deena, I can see you and Peggy sharing a cupper, smiling, stamping and laughing. That is 'home'. What a beautiful job on the TSC. Hugs to you sweet friend! LYMI

Yup, coffee good!!! Love your coffee rings...cute idea. That looks like some pretty fussy cutting around that handle on your cup!!! Great card - gotta go fill my cup with a second round of the morning elixir... Have a great day Deena...

Creative Deena, I like the warm feeling and the sentiment is perfect.I tend to agree the smell of freshly brewed or ground coffee just does something to the mind. hee hee
