Funny Coffee Stories...

I needed some lighthearted fun this morning..so decided to get in on a silly little discussion over at Mama C's blog The 5 C Family she's got some funny stories about drinking coffee and has encouraged others to post theirs.

here is mine:

When I was in 5th grade I used to go to my friends house..her parents were never home. We would get dressed up in her moms full skirts that we would pull up under our arms and wear them like dresses and play 'coffee house'. We made pot after pot of coffee ..loaded it up with tons of milk and sugar and all the neighbor kids would come over and buy a cup for 5 cents..we would serve it in paper cups from the kitchen window in front of the sink. Her brothers went out and got customers by telling neighborhood kids..then word got around and we had a pretty good line going at times. When the supplies started running out her parents found out and put a stop to it!

For more fun coffee stories go check out Mama C's post: Coffee Talk and feel free to add your own there and here if you like :)

Time to Pass it on....

Well it's time for me to pass on my lovely award that I got from Maricristo very 5 deserving bloggers.




Here are the rules:

Do you know any bloggers that kick ass? Maybe they've got incredible, original content. Or they're overflowing with creativity. Is it someone that helps you become a better blogger? Or a bloggy friend you know you can count on? Or maybe it's someone who simply inspires you to be a better person... or someone else who sends you to the floor, laughing your ass off. Whatever the reason may be, I'm sure you know at least a couple of bloggers that kick ass. Well... why not tell 'em so?

Here are my Top picks in no particular order:

Marjorie @ Marjories Cracked Plate Jewelry - You get this award because I admire the energy you put into doing what you love (making beautiful jewelry) and getting it out there for others to enjoy. I love your creativity and talent but most of all your friendship and willingness to work along with and help others who make jewelry. I love too what your jewelry pieces can mean for some, how you can hold onto something of sentimental value that you thought was lost.

Robyn @ The Daily Jewel - You get this award because you not only on this blog, but on others as well, open our eyes to the amazing creativity of jewlery artists. Your writing is superb and articles are very enjoyable and informative. The time you spend on your Tuscon Gem Show Live" blog is so helpful to so many looking to go there for their first time. As a matter of fact you have so many informative, helpful and fun blogs it's hard to choose which one to award this to. So Robyn put this award on the one that is your favorite or that you would most like to get this award on lol! Also you are SUPER helpful on our beading group, so much that I have even mistaken you for a moderator once! (even though I'm a mod myself there!)So I'm sure members always do lol! And you are just the nicest person I have met in a long time..you spoil me! (BIG HUG!)

Kuanyin @ Wailea Daily Photo - You get this award because I love your shots of the island and even though I live here as well, it's nice to see it through someone elses eyes. Also I get to see the other side of the island that I'm rarely on!

Christina @ This Girl Beads - You get this award because you were one of the first most loyal commenters on my blog. It was really encouraging for me to see your comments so often. I also love how you feature really cool stuff from amazing etsy crafsters and enjoy all your cool finds when you go thrift shopping. You've got the best taste!

Clara @ The 5 C Family" - You get this award because I'm so glad you came to visit my blog and introduced yourself. I've had so much fun getting to know you and admire following your tales of raising little ones (it's been a while for me since my son is 17) Also I know you love to make jewelry (beautiful jewelry!) and don't have as much time for it right now, but you are doing whats most important at this point in your life..and I admire that so much because I know how frustrating that can be at times.

Thanks to www.mammadawg.com for creating this award!
