Mug Shots

I love cute mugs.  Almost as much as I love the coffee that I put in them.

  And doesn't coffee seem to taste even better in a cute mug?

Here are a few of my favorites.

I love my sheep mug - a good friend gave it to me. 
The verse on it is Ephesians 2:10.

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

which God prepared in advance for us to do"

LOVE a girly K-State mug, and the Dylan's mug
is from my first (but not last) trip to NYC.

The peacock mug reminds of a lady I loved dearly as a young child - I called her "Nanny"
and thought she was my grandma.  She had beautiful peacocks roaming around
her quiet Oklahoma property and I loved to treasure-hunt for their feathers.
  She used to rock me to sleep, even after I was way too big to rock to sleep.

Starbucks Christmas cup - 'nuff said.

I bought my Cinderella cup on a shopping trip with my dear friend Beth, who I miss so much.  It says "I dreamt that my whole castle was clean."
  You and me both, sister!

Pumpkins - Cuz, you know, we have a pumpkin patch.

  I carry that mug out to the barn every week day in October
so I can sip my coffee in between field trips.

 I gave this mug to Grant last year on Valentine's Day. 
We were at Winter Park and I fell in love with it at the Starbucks in the Village.
  The kids thought it was hilarious that I gave Grant this mug - because
they knew who it was really for. 
Grant felt bad (for a second) when I handed him a gift to unwrap,
because we had agreed not to exchange gifts.  I use it almost every day.
  It might be my favorite.

We happened to be at Winter Park for Valentine's Day this year too.  

So not to break tradition, I bought "Grant" another mug.
I think he had a clue what it was when he found it
wrapped up in front of the coffee maker that morning.
I'm breaking it in for him today.  What can I say?  I'm a giver!
