Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity December Blog Hop. This
month the theme is our favorite things. The card I made encompasses two of my favorite things... books and coffee. The only thing missing from this picture is my cat. Those three things equal a perfect lazy day in my opinion!
My cup could contain coffee, cocoa, or tea. There is something about a warm beverage, a good book and no plans for the day to equal pure bliss. I colored the spines of my books in a rainbow because I will read just about anything you put in front of me. From romance to mystery to nonfiction... I am not a finicky reader, but I don't like to caught without a book. Waiting never bothers me as long as I have something to read.
Hop
along with the other Friends of Unity and see their creations...
