Mojo Monday #440

I was in the mood to make a coffee themed card due to the Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop that is on right now.

Didn't have to go far as Verve has some great coffee/tea sets :)   I used the newly released Coffee Helps along with the coordinating Cup for all Seasons die set.

After I was done, realized I didn't go with a spring theme or colour combination (pumpkins in March only occur in Cinderella I think LOL), so the Coffee Lover's police may put me in jail, or if I am lucky, just a warning wink, wink.  Regardless, it was great fun making this card and it now calls for a quick trip to Starbucks to satisfy my latte carving LOL!

All the challenge details are over on the Mojo Monday blog and you can also view all the wonderful Mojo Makers samples.  Should you wish more details on the Mojo Maker's cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.

We had a full weekend with my son reffing two games and my daughter and I touring one of the universities she applied and  got accepted to.   My son was actually reffing on campus so we were planning to take a quick tour while he reffed, but as fate would have it (or as I like to say, a total God thing occurred), we tripped across the fact they were having a "preview weekend" for incoming and interested students.  That allowed my daughter and I to attend some info sessions, talk to profs from the history and education department (she wants to be a history teacher),  got a campus tour and an overall scope of the campus.

My mama heart knows this is where she is meant to be.  So many doors are opening to make this possible :)   They have a very hefty tuition which we could not afford short of a miracle, and she has received a sizable academic and financial scholarship that brings the tuition on par to the places she has applied to, the commute is very short (20 minutes), she gets a mentor her first year, classes are small and so much more.  She is a bit of a "deer in the headlights" right now as everything is quite overwhelming now and she hates change, but once she takes some time to decompress, I am praying she reaches the same conclusion without our having to play the heavy.    Fun times {grin}!
