If you like it then you better put your initials on it

The fastest way to tell where someone is from is how they feel about monograms.  If you're from NC  or some other wonderful place in the south you know exactly what I'm talking about.  I learned the hard way that my California friends a) didn't know what monograms were before I came to town and b) think I'm crazy because I put my initials on everything.  My boss always teases me, saying that I put my initials on everything so that no one will want to steal it.  Well I love my boss, but he just doesn't understand.  I wish I could tell you what it is about them that I love so much, but I can't.  Whether it's jewelry, koozies, clothes, or crafts you can pretty much put a monogram on anything these days.  While this certainly isn't a comprehensive list, these are some of the ones that have most recently made my list of things to buy or create.

Maybe monograms aren't your thing, but if they are-- hopefully these are some ideas that will brighten your day!
