My Little Dream... Tea and Coffee Mug

There is nothing better than coming home after a long days work and putting your feet up with a cup of tea (and maybe a chocolate biscuit... or two!)

I am a slight Tea addict... it definately stems from my mumsy and the English in us!
I have to have tea when i get up and tea before i go to bed and god knows how many in between.

Because of the importance of Tea/Coffee whatever your preference is, it is most likely your regular mug is something sentimental... maybe you were given it or maybe you just love it! and if its not... you need to get one you do love!

There are so many hundreds and millions of different mugs and designs around nowadays is seems like just about everyone is stocking them! and to top it all off its now pretty cheap and easy to design your own!
Most photo printers now do the printing of photos on mugs... and they dont have to be fantastic quality! 
I recently had a mug made up of a photo taken from skype and it turned out great!
