Stamp Simply is thrilled to be a returning Super Sponsor.

By joining in the fun and hopping along you will receive inspiration galore and also be in the running to win so many wonderful prizes, and perhaps even be put on notice of some sales!

Each stop along the way is offering a prize, so be sure to read their commentary as to how to enter on that particular post.

You can find the complete list at the Coffee Loving Papercrafters OR check the link list at the very bottom of this post. You won't want to miss a stop!

Our Prize Offering & How To Enter

Stamp Simply is offering a $25 Gift Code to some lucky winner!

And purely out of curiosity, we'd like you to answer this 2 part question in the comments, and a winner will be randomly drawn from those comments.

1) Are you one to watch your pennies and drink home brewed coffee, or do you spend multiple dollars per day on a cup (or more) of specialty coffee?

2) If you drink home brewed coffee (as I do), is there anything you add to it to make it more special? I have a creamer recipe that I love made from fresh cream & milk, but if I don't have time to make that, adding a pour of pure maple syrup and milk/cream makes for a delicious treat!

Just leave your comment and we will pick a winner on Friday evening, 10/02, and announce the winner sometime over the weekend. Be sure to check back to see if you've won!
