I don’t have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine!

When I was about 30 years old my wonderful friend R introduced me to Cappucino.
I fell in love.
I bought an inexpensive machine and proceeded to make Caps for everyone who walked through the door.
For a couple of years my friends and I would go to Mr.Bean and drink our morning coffees together.
(That's when my corn muffin addiction started, but that's another post altogether.)
I miss the camaraderie of my little circle of friends.
We vented.
We joked.
We comforted.
We agreed.
We disagreed.
We watched the twin towers fall...
Then the school moved to North Miami and we no longer had the same morning route.
These days I spend my mornings alone with my homemade Cap.
I no longer have a machine.
Instead I have a simple milk frother from Italy that my nephew gave me.
Works like a charm.
There's something comforting about going through the same ritual every morning.
Sometimes I feel addicted and I don't like that at all.
But most of the time I look forward to having my moment.
Any one of you who drink coffee in the morning have their own individual experience.
But it boils down to one thing.
We LOOOOVE our morning coffee.
If only we would commit to something of more importance like we do for this one thing.
Imagine being on a healthy diet with the same commitment,
with the same excitement,
with the same anticipation
as we do for our morning coffee.

For some of you scrapbooking is only about people.
I am here to show you that scrapbooking is about memories.
And that includes food.
Music.
Neighborhoods.
Books.
Stores.
Whatever makes you YOU!
Grab your camera and take pictures of your everyday life.
You don't have to scrapbook them right away.
Have them just in case I inspire you.
Always be prepared.
This layout shows you how easy it could be.
Doodling.
A ribbon.
A picture.
There you go!
Now that I've mentioned doodling I will show you what I did on Sunday.

I was home relaxing and playing with my sharpies.
Looked up Zentangle on google.
Got inspired and ended up with this.
FUN FUN FUN!
I don't know if it's the greatest layout I've ever seen but I had fun doing it.
For me the experience is twofold.
One is committing the memory to paper.
The second is the memory of me creating the layout.
If you want a twofold experience like mine you gotta get started.
It's so worth it.
