Watch out Martha Stewart....

Ok, so I am no Martha but I am thrifty. I love my coffee and hot mint tea. For Christmas RB bought me a traveling coffee mug. It is from Starbucks and it is made to be personalized with your pictures in it. Well, I found another use for it... I love everything monogrammed and had been seeing personalized coffee mugs for $15-20. So, I decided to make my own!
I went to Micheal's and bought a bunch of scrapbook paper and came home and played on the computer with different fonts and colors, printed it on the scrapbook paper and used the template to cut the paper, put it in the mug and waa-laa!
You can see above all the different pieces of scrapbook paper I bought. Also, you can see the mug and in it I made one for RB and just used plain white paper and of course a picture of a deer (shocker). I also printed off a quote from Helen Keller that I like. I can change these as often as I like...


The one on the left is RBs favorite that I made (white paper with chandelier clip art and my name) The one on the right is my fav (made with scrapbook paper and monogram I made)









I am thinking about making these for a gift for a friend who is getting married...I will make it with her wedding colors and her new monogram...cute, eh?

These cups can be bought at Starbucks for about $10 and I also found them on amazon.com for about $10 with shipping at this link

Martha Madness is not over...tomorrow I will be making a diaper cake for a sorority sister who just had her baby boy...pictures to follow!
