I have an obsessive personality...

My latest creation:
Personalized sports bottles, AKA: thermos

Yes, the first thing I do when I get a new craft idea is make a zebra/hot pink version of it. So without further ado....A really cool feature of this sports bottle is that the bottom screws off to reveal a "secret compartment"! Oh, I love secret compartments. No joke, this thing is deep. If you are a runner or play sports you can throw your keys in there and not worry about them. Or if you want a safe place to hide money. Hey, and baseball players can put their sunflower seeds in there and not have to carry around an extra bag. I am quite excited about this product and just think it is really neat.My mother-in-law was my first customer and picked this really cute brown/teal fabric with pink embroidery. It turned out awesome.
And lastly my husband's! He is all about taking this thing hunting and fishing and not having to keep up with his keys! I tried to make it "manly"....I can do sports teams also...all guys like sports related items right!? I am in the process of getting an entire little league team on board for me to make one in their team colors for them all! How fun!? and the very best part is that the embroidered insert is totally interchangable. So if you are feeling like zebra and hot pink one day...cool, and then leopard and lime green the next...awesome, oh and then you want to root for your favorite team the next day....totally do-able! The bottles themselves are $15 (that includes one insert of your choice) and every other insert is $5.....the possibilities are endless.


If you like this, stay tuned for my next addition to this line of drinkware: travel mugs, here is an example of one someone else made...I just haven't ordered my parts yet.

nyway, I hope everyone else is as excited as I am. And don't forget to put in your two cents about the "online store name" decision.
