Caffeine Junkee- When one cup just isn't enough

I worked VERY HARD on this label.  Well, it wouldn't have been so hard if I had already known how to unzip a file and drop it into my computer's font file.  Nor would it have been so hard if I had been able to USE said font with the Avery Label Maker Template.  Needless to say, I did everything the old fashioned way... and I LOVE IT!

Now, I know this is "just" friends sharing coffee... and we are not an established business *yet*.  But, creating things like this is really exciting for me.  I do it for everything... Christmas cookies for the neighbors would never be on paper plates with cling wrap crumpled across the top!  Nope, custom labels on smart bakery bags or layered in jars with a pro-quality sticker on the front and perfectly printed recipe.

It was mortifying to me when Jay handed people bags with the word "nuggets" scrawled across the top in black magic marker.  Mortifying.  So here they are, the new custom labeled bags.  These two were custom roasts for Aaron... "Aaron's In Your Face Roast" and "Krieger's Good in the Sack Roast."  Think about the possibilities with this roast... do you want a bag of coffee as a gift for a friend who can take a joke ("Black as My Soul Roast"), or to leave by the coffee pot at work ("Get Back to Your Desk Ya Slacker Roast")?  For you wife ("Martha is Lovely in the Morning Roast"), or your husband ("Jason Can Work the Coffee Pot Roast")?  Let us know, as these very cool custom labels are now at the tip of my fingers!

So go down to the right of this blog... ===>>>  Click on that PayPal "Add to Cart" button, and get yourself one of the coolest bags of coffee in town.  (Starting next week, we will be roasting on demand.  How often can you demand something of someone... and have them actually jump to it... I mean really?)
