So...I signed up for a coffee and tea swap on Splitcoast. I am really excited because we have a local coffee shop that actually sells "Screaming Eagle" blend coffee in honor of the 101st. I thought this would be a perfect time to share something rather unique. Here is the card and coffee I am sending. The only thing not pictured is the mug and Kona coffee cookies from the Honolulu Cookie Company (see their website here...). I just LOVE those cookies! I think everyone should have them once in their life!
And here is the tea swap...I am putting cute little teacup candle holders with a Wasabi Ginger votive, stickers and a couple of single serve packs of tea. The little tea card is done in close to cocoa using Like it a Latte from Stampin' Up. I used crystal effects on the "tea" in the cup and added a stamped lemon wedge from Tart n Tangy. I am really pleased at how this turned out. I think the little pop of pink on the card really helps it coordinate with the candle holder.
Soooo....now it's your turn...what are some of your favorite coffee or tea treats??? Leave me a comment and I will draw a winner for an extra special treat! Don't forget to post your name! Good Luck! (I am going out of town til the 18th..I will draw the winner then! Spread the word!!!)

Cute ideas! I don't think I'm in any of your groups, though.:( I'm ready to cave too...to starting a blog, that is. I spend many late nights blog-surfing myself. Congratulations on starting yours!
Very cute ideas. Love the teacup holder. I searched for ideas and things that I could share in this swap - but coffee and tea items are not very popular around here. My grandmother used to make the best little tea cakes (cookies) when I was a kid - I have looked everywhere and can't find her recipe.
I can hardly wait til I get this swap!
thanks!

Beautiful! What a fun swap!
What a cool swap! Although I lvoe a good coffee - I love a pot of earl grey tea served in a bone china tea cup with saucer. Reminds me of my great grandmother and a great aunt. My daughter now loves to have tea with me especially when it is a pot rather than the lazy (& inferior) bag. ;o)
Thanks for the chance to win!

Those are wonderful ideas. That tea cup is the cutest. Those look like fantastic swaps to be in! I don't do much special with my coffee or tea. It's one cup of coffee in the morning to get going and a lot of flavored green teas during the day!
HI! Just dropping by to see what you are up to & I really enjoy what I've seen so far! I'm putting you onto my list of special blogs ~ 'course you were my 1st ever SCS Big Sis ~ & I think we have a mutual friend in Sara Paschal ~ my 1st ever SCS Lil Sis! How fun!
I'm a BIG mint tea drinker & only drink coffee if I'm severely sleep deprived ~ I'm actually somewhat allergic to it ~ but a gal got a do what a gals gotta do...
That sounds like such a fun swap to do. I would like to participate in something like that. Guess I will have to check out swaps. My favorite hot drink is Chai tea. My favorite coffee is anything flavored that is what I call "fancied up"!
Mugsy's Vanilla latte kicks Starbuck's in the a@@! Best ever!
