Coffee Mug

My husband and I were visiting friends when suddenly the sound of a coffee mug hitting a ceramic tile floor and shattering interrupted our conversations. For some reason Steve felt responsible so he promised we'd buy a new one. You'd think that living in a beach town we could find a cute coffee mug that wasn't stupid or too silly. NOT! Finally Steve said "I want one that says 'Coffee Snob' on it since he likes all those exotic coffees." About that time I looked up and there was this clear mug staring at me. I thought "STAZ-ON!!!" (For those non-scrappers/stampers out there it's a permanent ink that doesn't come off.) So for $3.50 we bought the mug. We figured we had everything to gain and nothing to lose. The result turned out pretty cute I think! Now I don't know if it will last through the dishwasher or how many hand washes it will make it through, but I know that our friend will love it and will take very good care of it! Especially when talking with his hands! :)

This is the front.

Here's the back side. It's a stamp of a cup of coffee with a heart for steam.
