Pumpkin Spice ..and Everything Nice | GIVEAWAY!
"Do you collect anything?"
...My only blood-related Auntie asked me that question years ago, and I racked my brain trying to answer her question. It shouldn't have been that difficult, but I was raised moving from one new house to another and can confidently report I am by all means not a hoarder!
I joke about being a professional packer and mover; however, on my latest relocation I realized I do collect a few things!
I collect Impromtu Cards, also known as Kim Anderson Cards:
I remember always seeing a poster or calendar of these photos at my Grandma's house -- I credit my obsession to her and have almost an endless supply of these beautiful blank cards. God forbid they ever go out of business, I'll be forced to buy them out for fear of running out!
I also collect Willow Tree Angels and Figures:
My sweet sister-friend Karyn gave me my first Willow and initiated this blessed trend when we were in high school. I mostly buy these for gifts rather than for myself, so I only have a few; but I credit her for introducing me to Susan Lordi's Willow's and will always love them:)
And last but certainly not least..
I collect Starbucks Cards!
I have this habit of grabbing while standing at the cash-rap at any given Starbucks... Apparently there is a "rule" that you can't take a card with out loading it -- but oh contrar. I am a ninja like impulse grabber, and who ever works the till never sees my stealth-like actions. My very first job (13 years old w/a workers permit thank you very much) was Starbucks, so perhaps I feel entitled for this larceny.
I'm an advocate for Starbucks, carry a gold card, keep their stocks high, and seriously doubt they care I have sniped their cards from all over the country, season upon season, limited editions and literally have stacks I randomly find in my belongings. I have tried to organize them for the last 5+ years, and I'm proud to say I am definitely making progress;) I suppose if Starbucks starts locking down their cards it's because they read this post and in that case, my apologies.
Anyway, without further adieu, the very reason for this post is to share the wealth!
You may or may not already be part of the Starbucks Reward Program--I highly suggest you become one immediately--even if you only enjoy toasting Autumn with a Pumpkin Spice Latte or Falling into Winter with those fabulous red cups... Any purchases with a registered Starbucks Card = discounts and rewards, so wise up friends! Soy milk = free. You're welcome!
There are tons of awesome cards in circulation -- here's the latest Fall 2011, Starbucks Card in honor of Autumn's changing leaves, and October's National Disability Awareness Month:
States even have a few of their own ~ Check out Hawaii's:
Don't you want one!!?? |
It tastes like Pumpkin Pie!! |

I always order it with skim and then get the whip cream because in my mind, it balances out. So funny! And I agree- it makes the drink and is SO worth the extra mile. Have a great day!
I am a new found fan of your blog. Anyone who is a "ninja" at swiping Starbucks cards has an immediate stamp of approval from me! I love pumpkin spice and just had my first cup yesterday. Pumpkin makes me happy but not as happy as imagining you "ninja" swiping a card.
