Hey everyone! How are you? Have you finished work yet? Or are you keeping your head down until 5pm on Friday! I'm hoping to set my out of office tomorrow afternoon, but we shall see how the to do list is looking! Today is actually my sister - Mini J's -birthday so normally I'm all wrapped up in my Christmas PJs by now, but she is currently away in America for a year, so Christmas is already feeling a little different this year. No doubt the day itself will be filled with the same level of food but with much more skype time than ever before.

Hopefully, by now you've finished all the shopping, you may even have done your wrapping (I like leaving mine to Christmas eve) and now all that's left to do is eat all the mince pies and maybe add the finishing touches to your plans for the BIG DAY, which is exactly what today's post is about!

No doubt over the last month you've consumed your weight in festive coffees in red/knitted/boring blue (seriously - does anyone go to Cafe N?) take away cups, but if your house is anything like mine, your hot beverage intake is only set to increase over the next week! The kettle in our house barely ever gets chance to cool down (sorry environment) and that's even less likely to happen when we're all at home all day and guests are around. So this year instead of brushing up my waitress skills (jokes - there still on point from all those years) I've decided to create a DIY Festive Coffee Bar Station.
