Mountain Mommas

January 16, 2012 By Rachel 1 Comment

One of my favorite things about working at My Own Labels is seeing some of the great ideas our customers come up with. Recently, a coworker showed me a recent coaster order. They chose our Caption style featuring an amazing photo of a group of women wearing bright colored rain jackets in a Utah canyon. Both of us agreed it was a great photo and there had to be a great story behind it. So I contacted the customer, Kristin from Nashville, TN and was thrilled at her eagerness to share her story! We … [read more...]

Simple Gifts: Gift Coasters

December 14, 2011 By Jeanne Leave a Comment

One of the simplest of gifts to create, but the important ingredients of affection and thoughtful effort are present in the result. Choose a photo that you love, about the people you will be giving the coasters too... this could be a photo of them, or their house, their pets, their children or grandchildren. It could be a photo detail of a part of their lives - a beautiful plant in their yard, fruit on a tree, a fountain, a bird in their birdbath. Once you have chosen the photo, then choose a … [read more...]

At My Own Labels, we love seeing unique ideas from our customers. I especially love this idea of sending Save-the-Date coasters for an upcoming wedding!

Gluten-Free Oven Fried Hot Wings

January 31, 2011 By Jeanne 3 Comments

The other day Ritch, our lead web programmer at My Own Labels, told me that he cooks only one thing - hot wings! And if it were up to him, he'd eat them every Sunday during the football season, but sometimes his wife requests that they take a break and try something else. He told me that he has just about perfected his own recipe and wondered if I’d like to share it on My Own Ideas. Of course, I said yes! Then he showed me some custom hot wing coasters he ordered special for Super Bowl Sunday. … [read more...]

Tom & Jerry Holiday Drink

November 29, 2010 By Jeanne 2 Comments

The Tom & Jerry is a classic holiday drink who's origins date back to the 1820's. Don't be fooled by the name, as the drink is not named after the famous cartoon cat and mouse. Mugs of this rich, warm drink were a staple at countless 19th century saloons after the first snowfall of the season. As a Christmas tradition, bringing out the Tom & Jerry mugs lasted well into the 1950's. The drink's popularity faded with the changing of tastes, but lovers of classic cocktails are still making this drink … [read more...]

Holiday Wine & Coasters

November 1, 2010 By Sally 2 Comments

I created this wine package to give at holiday times to close friends and as hostess gifts. To make them, I went to the grocery store and picked out a bottle of wine, choosing a bottle color that would match my label - and of course a wine that I liked too! Then I soaked off the original label overnight in warm soapy water, dried the bottles and put my personalized labels on them. I also peeled off the plastic hood and replaced it with a color to match (be sure you do this before you put the new … [read more...]

Jailhouse Brew

October 4, 2010 By Sally Leave a Comment

My boyfriend, Rick, loves amber non-alcoholic beer. Last year he decided to get healthier (something people tend to do after they turn 50.) He changed some of his eating habits and cut way back on alcohol (hence a 20 pound weight loss). He has found non-alcoholic beers to be very good (especially the dark ones). Recently, we hosted a party and I thought it would be fun to serve our own "Jailhouse Brew" complete with custom beer labels and coasters. We had a lot of fun choosing our own design for … [read more...]
