National Coffee Day – September 29, 2021

Hello Crafters! Did you know that in the U.S. and Canada, today is National Coffee Day? Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love my coffee! I own a Nespresso Virtuo coffee maker and the below sign sits next to it.

What you may not know about me is that at one time I thought about owning my own coffee shop. I quit my job, got hired by Caribou Coffee to take part in their store manager training program, ran a store for about a year and realized the hours it took to run a store was more than I wanted to commit to, especially for the low profit margin. I have no regrets for giving this business a try and am thankful I could work at a store before deciding to invest in a franchise option. I still love my coffee and Caribou Coffee Mint Condition is one of my favorite coffees that I treat myself to from time to time. To celebrate, I picked myself up one today!!   

You've likely seen me make other coffee cards using my favorite "Nothing's Better Than" stamp set and 'Love You More Than' coordinating die cuts. To commemorate this National Coffee day I pulled the stamp set out and made a cute little notecard.

I also decided to pull out a retired coffee set. I am not sure when this set retired. I never did purchase the die cuts to go with it, so I have to fussy cut the coffee cup. I particularly like the sentiments from this stamp set
