Fire Prevention Week is always the week on which October 9th falls. According to legend, on October 8, 1871, Mrs. O'Leary was in her barn, milking her cow. The cow kicked over a lamp, which started the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The fire burned for over 27 hours. When it was over, more than 300 people were killed, 100,000 people were left homeless, and over 17,000 structures were destroyed.
A Gilmore Girls Twist On a Starbucks Style Design
Misc Things You May Wish To Know:
I don't drink Starbucks coffee, but I do love their cups! I made so many mistakes with this project. But it's purely for me, and I love it - someday I may redo it. It's my take on a "Starbucks Style" cup. Just a month or so ago I read a comment from a Designer where she said she never seals anything on her coffee cups, if the designs fall of in the dishwasher, she just puts on a new design. (They hold up really well, no need to seal, just hand wash. Although I've had quite a few go through the dishwasher many times with no problems too.) That was such a freeing thought to me. It doesn't have to be perfect. I can always just redo it later. I'm not selling - this is just for me. I'm sitting here drinking out of my coffee mug with the not perfectly lined up circles, and you know what? I LOVE this thing. Today. Tomorrow I may redo it when the imperfections drive me nuts. You just never know with me.
If I was able, I'd gladly make this an svg you could download. But that has exceeded my attention span. Again, someday I may come back to that. For now, I can, much more quickly, tell you how to do this yourself.
If you are a Gilmore Girls fan, you know that this refers to the first time Luke & Lorelai met. She came into Luke's for coffee, he was busy, she was annoying (for good cause - coffee....) She rips out a piece of the newspaper horoscope and writes on it "You will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she will go away." You can see a video clip where Luke pulls out the "horoscope" from his wallet, telling this story, 8 years later, when the two are finally on a date, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt266f7Ijuw
If I were reading this, I would probably be rolling my eyes about now. " could you just stop rambling and tell me how to make this?" So I'll make this section really large for those of you who wanted to just skim through and find it:
If you like the look of the Starbucks "rings", there are SO many free ones already made! Wraps for the cups too. Here's a list: https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2020/08/free-starbucks-inspired-coffee-ring-svgs.html

Not all files that you can cut with your machine are SVG files. But SVG files are by far the easiest to work with, and should always be what you choose for a cut project.
An SVG is a "Scalable, Vector, Graphic". When you upload an svg to design space, you can resize it as much as you want without it distorting. Or "Vector graphics are computer graphics images that are defined in terms of points on a Cartesian plane, which are connected by lines and curves to form polygons and other shapes. ".
An svg will never be a photo in a facebook comment. You may find a link in the facebook comment, which shows a preview of the svg, but that preview is not your svg. (facebook is not capable of displaying actual svg files in comments) Click on the link, go to the site, and download the svg, for the best results. (Often on apple devices if you click on a facebook link it will not open. You may need to open Safari, and then copy and paste the link.)
