Coffeehouse Angel Re-Create A Cover Contest

There is another on of these oh-so-lovely recreate a cover contests over on Trisha's Book Blog. You still have a few days to enter, get to it!

This is the original cover:


When Katrina spots a homeless guy sleeping in the alley behind her grandmother’s coffee shop, she decides to leave him a cup of coffee, a bag of chocolate-covered coffee beans, and some pastries to tide him over. Little does she know that this random act of kindness is about to turn her life upside down. Because this adorable vagrant, Malcolm, is really a guardian angel on a break between missions. And he won’t leave until he can reward Katrina’s selflessness by fulfilling her deepest desire. Now if only she could decide what that might be .

Here is the cover Lorena designed:

This was just a quickie before I left for - yeah freaking right, this took so damn long to make, I'm wont be doing another one of these in a long time. Despite the ridiculous amount of work I put into this, I had fun making it. Everything but the spoon, coffee, and table is my own work. That sugar wing was such a pain in the butt to make, but I love how it came out. I hope you guys do too! Oh yeah, also I'm leaving for my first year in college tomorrow :D so, peace!
