| Coffee Art There is something about coffee art that really makes a drink seem special. I think it's the extra energy and attention put into the bevy by the barista that makes artful coffee taste WAY better than regular coffee. Only one snag- it's just too pretty to drink!

CRAFT Holiday Gift Guide 2009: DIY Gift Ideas for Guys Make a handmade present for the deserving guys in your life. We've all heard it before, but it bears repeating: Handmade gifts are the best kind. Here are some do-it-yourself ideas. Please chime in in the Comments if you've got more ideas!A music mixAt the beginning of 2009, I gathered up some favorite songs and put together a mix CD for my friends. A good mix can be an amazing gift. Songs have the ability to bring out emotion, and by arranging the songs just so, you're essentially an emotional puppeteer! Of course, you don't want to swerve wildly all over the musical map, but I think people are often too conservative when making a mix. Don't get caught up in genre segregation. Just remember: Transitions are key. Listen to the end of one song and the beginning of the next to see if they work well next to each other.More inspiration: Angelica Amesquita wrote a fantastic mix tutorial in CRAFT, Volume 10 (Available in the Maker Shed). Finally, to house the CD, fold an origami CD case and decorate it. Don't forget to write out the track list. Done!Here are the tracks off the mix I made, which I called, "2009: Year of the Ox:"1.
