 It's been a while since I made any tag art.
I created my own paper, a photo-montage made with my own photographs, printed it out and cut it into shapes.
Coffee, dark roast, black, no sugar, is my drink of choice, and I've made ATCs on that subject before, even dipping my finger into the coffee grounds and drawing the cups...

 I coffee-dyed my tags first, then got to work.

I'm grateful it stopped raining, and I'm grateful I am free of weather headaches.

This is my current favourite coffee cup. It's beautiful to my eyes, and just the right size, a little bigger than a traditional demi-tasse. I found it a couple of years ago on one of the antiquing forays conducted by my sister when I was visiting her in McKinney. That would be Texas.

The right cup adds to my enjoyment of coffee. At the other extreme is coffee in paper cups or worse styrofoam. They set my teeth on edge. So I don't drink coffee out, unless I have to (you're out with someone who buys you a cup of coffee), out of politesse!

I'm a coffee drinker, always have been. Dark, dark roast, black, no sugar. French press. Espresso doppio.

However, in my sister's house they drink tea, and when I'm staying with her, I have my coffee in the morning, but I also have tea the rest of the time. My sister makes a very comforting cup of tea, English style. And when I was there a short while ago, she noticed that I had tea more often than coffee. I explained to her that it just takes someone, preferably her, to make it for me and put it in front of me...
