Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

I'm so excited to be participating in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop -- Holiday Edition! Since I started sharing my dad's coffee with him by the age of six, I think I qualify as a coffee lover. :) 
Thanks to Amy Tsuruta for her amazing work organizing this fun event! Over 200 coffee-loving crafters will be posting coffee or other hot beverage-related projects to their blogs or galleries today. And what's a blog hop without giveaways? Many individuals will be giving out blog candy to a commenter as part of their hop post. Plus, we have an incredible number of generous sponsors offering prizes as well!

Since you've made it this far... here is my contribution to the hop:

Although a certain large coffee chain thinks pumpkin spice lattes are seasonal, I would happily drink them from the onset of cool weather till it's time to break out the tshirts and shorts again. Many of my PSL-drinking friends would agree! So I was thrilled to discover this recipe to make my own pumpkin spice syrup. (I also like knowing all the ingredients that go into it...) So I thought some syrup in a decorative bottle with a themed tag would make a perfect holiday gift. 

If you haven't already, make yourself comfortable with your favourite hot beverage and get hopping!
