Coffee Lover Gift
Yesterday was one of the most crazy days ever! I thought I’d walk you through a day in the life:
–Wake up 7:00 a.m. for a hot shower (the only peaceful part of my day).
–Hair, makeup, work attire by 7:50 a.m.
–Gather Christmas cards and other pacakages that MUST be mailed out today!
–Grab a quick bite to eat. (usually a Pop Tart or All Bran Bar)
— Leave the house to arrive at work by 8:00 a.m.
–Leave the office at 10:00 a.m to return home and make green bean casserole and rolls for the office Christmas party at noon (I am the ultimate procrastinator).
–Leave home and run to the grocery store to pick up holiday placemats and the ingredients for punch.
–Return to the office in time to set up for the Christmas party.
–Party from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
–Clean up the party mess which includes disposing of party ware (paper plates, cups, etc.), washing dishes, putting away all the food, and cleaning the board room table and leather mats.
–Leave work 5:15 p.m.
–Arrive home at 5:30 and throw dinner in the oven (tonight we’re having lasagna and garlic bread).
— Make 5 card designs for a Stampendous kit.
— Take dinner out of the oven and quickly shovel food in mouth before next project.
— Leave for job at the wine shop at 7:30 p.m.
— Individually package 102 bottles of wine for shipment and make six custom wine baskets for pickup the following day.
— Arrive back at home at 11:30. Head falls onto pillow at midnight as I remember that I never got those packages and Christmas cards mailed out! UGH!
–Alarm rings at 7:00 a.m. this morning ready to do it all over again!
I’m sure days like these are common among everyone this time of year! Because my days have been so hectic lately I’m bringing out a project from the archives. I created this back in February for the Dirty Dozen Design Team and thought this would be the perfect time of year to show it again. A similar gift set would be the perfect holiday gift for any coffee lover in your life. I filled one of the Stampendous pails with chocolate covered espresso beans. The Like it A Latte set is still one of my favorites and I was so sad when it retired from Stampin’ Up. It won’t be retiring from my collection for a while! I hope you all have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned tomorrow for Cupcake Friday (if I can muster enough energy to design something)!
