Christmas Coffee Joy

I know I've been absent for like a MONTH.  And I'm sorry.  I've been so busy with work and family and my art has really suffered.  I'm trying to get back now and share some new projects with you guys.  There's no better inspiration than the Fall and Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  There's so many amazing projects and soooooo many fabulous sponsors and prizes!!!  I hope this is my first of many entries into the hop!  Ya'all know how much I love coffee.

I've been experimenting with making things that AREN'T Christmasy, Christmasy.  I just love how this turned out.  I was thinking it would be fun to make cups in red and green prints, too.
