Simply Hot Blogfest!

I found this blogfest from one of the participants blogs and decided I needed to put up my own post. This blogfest, hosted by the Erica and Christy is part of their Hottness Thursdays. Basically, the idea is to put up your favorite coffee mug. The one mug you go to every time you drink coffee. You can find more details or sign up to participate HERE.

 I'm an avid coffee drinker so I have every type of coffee cup you can imagine (including a Disney cup I've had since I was a little girl and is starting to fade around the edges).  My whole family is coffee drinkers. So much so, in fact, that its become custom to make each other coffee mugs as gifts.

My latest favorite is a mug that my parents sent me (completely in surprise) for the release of my book. They took the cover and made it into a mug. I've been drinking out of it almost every morning the past couple weeks.


But I also wanted to mention my other favorite. My dad gave it to me a few years ago for Christmas. On one side he put a picture of me with my dog Scout and on the other he put a picture of a climbing trip the two of us went on. I don't climb anymore and haven't for almost four years but it's a nice reminder of the trip we took together, just the two of us.  On one side he printed the words "Life is Good Today".


 

So those are my two favorite mugs. Do you have a favorite coffee mug? What does it look like?

    Great mugs.

    I love pictured ones. I have an HP mug with Snape, McGonagall. and THE original Dumbledore on it...

    Hop on over to see it. If you're an HP fan you'll love it.
