A little Anthropologie Knock off…SO EASY!

Morning Morning!  Hope you are all well!  We are mid-week and approaching the NEW YEAR!  I have a feeling it holds some Magical Moments for everyone. 

I know you don’t have a lot of time this week but I did wanted to give you a little project. Have to tell you that I was feeling pains of guilt and almost like I was doing something wrong!  A little crazy I know!  It is not a “Knock Off” but an extension of an idea : )
(mine)

The reason this came about is that my kids gave me an Anthropolgie Mug for Christmas with the letter M for Mom on it…I have said that I love them and someone was listening!(by the way…they said they wanted to get 3 A’s…then it would say MAAA!!! 🙂  I was looking at it and then looking at the collections of “single” mugs I have accumulated and thought…hmmmmm this would be a great way to make those soul survivors kind of fun and funky and maybe even use them as gifts just to say “I’m thinking of you”
(Anthropologies)
Simple Steps
You will need a nice clean mug!
You will need a porcelain paint market or a tube that you can use like a pen or use with a paint brush.

Draw on your Initial (any style…upper or lower…any size…whatever your little heart desires) Then follow the package directions to cure the ink…requires a very short baking period and then it is permanent ready for the coffee!
You can do one for everyone in the family…do them on drinking glasses…mugs…tea cups you find in the Good Will…vintage mugs…the list is endless! I think you will have tons of fun with it!  
They will make great gifts…add some yummy tea bags…some fresh coffee beans…maybe a vintage spoon and wrap pretty…a perfect gift for anyone!
ENJOY!!!

See you tomorrow my friends for Thankful for my Followers Thursday!

Sending tons of 
(((HUGS)))
