Inspired By ...a Napkin?

 

I was grocery shopping with my husband one day this month (IYKYK). He looked in the cart, pointed to these napkins and said "What are those for?"

"To make me happy!" was my reply.

And they do!

This weekend was our annual celebration in honor of Church Worker Appreciation month. Many know me as the coffee lady at church. I make sure the KCup carousel is stocked and the fancy creamers are in the fridge.

For our special brunch, I decided to put out a PSL station:

I used the mug die from Catherine Pooler, along with some C and 9th pumpkin dies:

I think I purchased this C and 9th set from fellow crafter Amy Tsuruta, and she included a little bag of pre-cut dies. It was a lifesaver this weekend!

Next up: gifts for the pastors! If you've been to the cafe for any length of time, you know that I love a good theme gift. I've had donut themes, pie themes, and last year's jam theme. This time, I embraced the coffee theme. I made them all this card:

I used a sentiment from a MFT stamp set. Originally, it says "Let's have a coffee break", but I just omitted the "Let's" when inking the stamp. Worked great!

And here's the inside sentiment:

For their gift bags, I included the cute napkins, some small matching paper plates, a few K Cups, a few Pepperidge Farm cookies, and a few Hershey Affogato espresso candies.

Just a little something that they can share with their spouses or families, or just keep in their office for a treat. We so appreciate all that they do for our congregation.

They are a blessing!
