A personalized cup O' joe...

I am a huge fan of homemade gifts and with my dear friend Pinterest (yes it will be the death of me)...I found this crafty idea pinned from one of my favorite blogs Lemonade Makin' Mama and decided it would be perfect for personalized Christmas gifts.  My handwriting is atrocious but, I guess imperfections are the beauty of something homemade (well that's what I'm telling myself anyway ha ha). 
What you need...
1.  A dishwasher and microwave safe mug (I found a 2 pack at Homegoods for $4.99)
2.  A ceramic paint marker (I used a DecoArt glass paint marker purchased at Michaels with my 50% off coupon)

Trying making something homemade this Christmas, I promise it will make your Christmas gift giving that much more special.

Happy Wednesday.

Per the DecoArt glass website wipe down your mug with alcohol to remove
fingerprints.  I didn't read that until after I had already made two
mugs...it made no difference.
Decide what you want to write and write away.
(don't worry if you mess up it wipes off and you can try
again and again and again.....)
Once happy with your creation let it air dry for approximately 8 hours
then bake in a non pre-heated oven at 375° for 40 minutes and
viola your gifts are ready.
