So my dear friend moved to Washington D.C. recently, I may have mentioned it before, and we used to go daily to a little coffee shop called Chickory. We went nearly every day for a year, and not long into it, we began dubbing our daily morning coffee/chai tea runs "coffee trains". While we didn't have the opportunity to go as often as we liked the further into our careers and after job and offices changes as we liked, we still enjoyed the "coffee train" when we could. We used the time to catch up with one another--it was an exclusive date.
I guess you would be able to deduce that since she moved there have been no coffee chai trains for either of us.
However, her boyfriend who lives here (while she's there) called me this week and asked if in honor of his trip this weekend to see her if I would like to go on a chai coffee train run...of course I said "YES!" On my way out of the quaint coffee shop, I had a sudden thought! I should see if I could buy the chai tea powder and send it to Sophie in D.C. with Shane! So after a purchase of what I think is the perfect gift, I had to make a card.
I cut the coffee cup and steam out of the card and pasted a light grey paper behind the cut out--worked out quite nicely. Although, I added too much (then I subtracted--always less is more, I need to remember that) I was able to resurrect the card.
Happy Chai Train!!
