Steeped Coffee is an amazing drink.  I love how easy it is to make.  You just stick your coffee bag in a cup and add hot water.  It is ready in just a few minutes.  It’s so easy and convenient.  We love Steeped Coffee. My mom has tried it as well.  And, at 70+ years old, she loves how easy it is to get a cup of coffee.  She said now she can have her morning brew without having to make an entire pot.  She loves that she can just make one cup, which is what she usually drinks in a typical day. There is such a wide variety of blends. From sunrise blend to decaf, you will find a blend that is right for you.  My favorite is the sunrise blend, while my mom enjoys the dark roast.

I love Steeped Coffee!  It’s absolutely amazing.  It’s the perfect brew with the perfect taste.  I have a single cup coffee maker, and I let the hot water come out, and add the coffee bag.  Steep for 2 minutes, and it’s so refreshing!  I live for this coffee.  I didn’t know it was so amazing, until I tried it.  You’ll feel the same way, I’m sure. Steeped Coffee comes in so many varieties.  My favorite is the Sunrise Blend.  I get up at 3:30 am.  This blend makes my day fantastic.  I actually enjoy going to work, the mornings I have this blend.  It’s so great to feel this good. The perfect way to start your day right, Sunrise Blend beautifully balances the subtle complexity of cocoa with hints of fruit peeking through. This washed coffee from the Huila region of Columbia is a mix of Castillo and Caturra varieties, pulling together these delicate layers of dark and light. My wife’s favorite blend is the California Blend, it’s a little darker and she says it helps her want to do those mommy things. Classically inspired, the California Blend is sweet, attractive, and offers the promise of an enjoyable experience. Always…

I love the book:  Making Your Own Greeting Cards & Gift Wrap, which I received from Fox Chapel Publishing.  It’s a great book, with holidays covered, as well.  I’ve been working on some Easter Cards, and have had the help of this book.  All of the Holiday stuff is really gorgeous, especially for this time of year. Great Things about this book: 50 exciting projects for a wide range of beautiful and fun cards, boxes, bags, wraps, and pouches Each project includes step-by-step illustrations and beautiful color photographs of the finished pieces Includes advice on choosing materials and decorative items to make the most of your cards Has handy templates to assist in both the card and gift wrap-making process Practical instructions guide you through all the techniques used throughout the book Inspirational galleries illustrate how one design motif or tool can be used to create a variety of different results The step-by-step guides are great.  Even someone that doesn’t do crafts often, like myself, would be able to do these items.  They make it so simple, and even have pages in the back with guides to making some of the projects.  Like there’s an oval, for an Easter Egg….
