Coffee & Cookies

Everybody loves it, has tried to quit it once or twice in their lives, craves it, needs it to wake up in the mornings. It has an amazing aroma and gives you that kick you need. A French writer, named Balzac (if you are Afrikaans, you would find this surname very funny) was rumoured to have had up to 50 cups of it a day.

Of course, I am talking about coffee. I have a love/hate relationship with the substance, sometimes going months without a cup - but other days, I just have the urge to down mug after mug. Especially if it involves a great homemade cookie or two.

One of my other love/hate relationships is doing-it-yourself projects, which usually frustrate the living daylights out of me. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to these projects. Anyway, I found some great DIY's on the interwebs lately and needed to share it with you.
