Custom gifts done right!
My husband came home from a hunting show where he had seen some mugs for sale, we decided to make our own mugs and add our own personal touch to them...And I guess you can say the rest is history!! We made our first etched mug, we added the paracord to the handle and we advertised locally. The sales of the mugs, and the ideas of what people wanted on the mugs took off and we've been creating new designs ever since.
After making the mugs, we were looking for another, unique product to add to our listing and my husband had this wild idea to paint a hand saw! So we did, our first saw we made was again around hunting (do you get a theme here!?) and again advertised locally. The saw signs are so fun to make, they come in all different sizes (the saws that is!) and people have such creative ideas for what they'd like on their signs -- creating the signs and the mugs allow my husband to use his creative ideas to get the design done, and I do the cutting of the vinyl/stencils and braiding the paracord handles to help support the completion of the product!
We do this as a family, creating the products has been great for our family, even the kids will get involve to help where they can, it has brought us closer and given us something we can all work towards to help our family out. I wouldn't change a thing, and I"m thankful for the first idea that got us going!
