A lot of diet coke!

Lately, I have spent numerous hours at my computer building this website and creating {haPpi} projects to share on here. Long days. Late nights.

and this is what keeps me going:

LOVE

laughter

&

LOTS of DIET COKE!!

Coka-Cola. It’s an american classic.

It was introduced in 1886.

&

Today it has an insane amount of loyal FANS!

This week I had a new follower request a print that her mother in law wanted framed in her kitchen.

This was her request:

“This home runs on love, laughter, and LOTS of diet coke”

white background, black writing with red love & diet coke

I thought,  hmmmm “that’s easy”, “lots of people love their diet coke”, “it could make a nice free download”, and…

 “I can relate”!

So on day 2 of a week of {FREE DOWNLOADS} I introduce:

“This home runs on LOVE, laughter, and LOTS of DIET COKE.” {FREE DOWNLOAD}
