Fun Project of the week!

I was trying to figure out how to organise my work space.  Suzanne had given me some containers that were originally for some wall art to use as pencil holders that I had placed on my desk a couple of weeks ago.  After looking at them for a couple of weeks, I decided they needed some "tristifying", which basically means that they needed a trista makeover!  I thought with some cute paper and some rubber cement, I could come up with something cute to put on my desk.  While I was at the grocery store yesterday, I picked up some wrapping with cute flowers and butterflies.  After working for a bit once I got home from the grocery store, I decided it was time for a break and created my cute pencil holders!  All it took was cutting them down to size and rubber cementing the paper on.  Next time, I would probably use thicker paper as I had to double up otherwise the writing from these cardboard canisters shown through.  Doubling it up caused some creasing on the bottom and top that I don't exactly love.  But, for now, I seriously LOVE them!  They work great and look super cute on my desk!!!!

Coffee and Tea! Sounds good to me!!

A few years ago, I decided that I did NOT want to drink coffee EVER again!  I began drinking all kinds of tea.  I LOVE tea!  There are loads of flavours to choose from!  I was doing really well with not having any coffee whatsoever, until Saturday.  When I had my very first cup of coffee in a very long time.  {Hubby did remind me that last year while we were in Paris I had a cup of coffee, but I couldn't recall}  Anyway, it was decaf {I clearly don't need the caffeine} and so tasty!  I have to admit, I didn't stop drinking it because I didn't like it, but I had to stop because I couldn't live a day without it!  Seriously!  No GOOD!  And, the place that I was working at when I decided to stop had a pot of coffee on all day, so I would drink it all. day. long.  Unhealthy!  No one should drink coffee that much.  That led to tummy aches and headaches, blah blah blah.  Oh, and in the midst of that, I had heard something about green tea being good for you.  So, I made the switch.

But, the other day, David had coffee and I could taste it in my mouth.  Seriously!  I could!  So, I HAD to HAVE a sip... or three.  That led to me making my own cup on Saturday from those instant via coffee packets from Starbucks {one of my FAVOURITE places EVER - not just because of their drinks, but because of the amazing ministry opportunity God has given me there right now}.  Oh, and I chatted with one of my friends early that day who said I should treat myself to coffee once a week.  So, instead of it becoming a necessary essential part of the day, I decided that I want to keep it as a special treat and stick to decaf.

While I was working the other day, I had gone to Starbucks for some chai tea {my absolute FAVOURITE!} and seeing my special Starbucks mug from the states that I had them put my tea in, I decided I wanted to be fun and take cute photobooth pics of me enjoying my Starbucks tea.  So, here they are:)

Ending with my Favourite!!!
