I've realized that there's so much more that goes into this than meets the eye. When my friend Kara first brought up the notion that you can tell a lot from people's mug designs I thought that that alone was an awesome project idea. However, from the data that I've gathered so far I've realized there are TONS of variables that go into telling who a person is from their mugs. I've narrowed it down to a couple of variables/characteristics of people's mugs from what they've told me about them:
- Mugs used for coffee vs. tea or other beverages (or even food as Grant uses his mugs for cereal)
- Mugs that never get used
- Mugs that only that person can use
- Mugs that are used by company
- Holiday Mugs (been getting an in flux of Halloween mugs)
- Work mugs vs. home mugs
- Travel Mugs
- Gift Mugs used around the person that gave them to you

I love that mug!
Ooo... I totally forgot to mention that no one is allowed to use my two favorite mugs! Ha ha. I'm so paranoid about them breaking that when friends stay over, I hide them. x__x;;
Mugs--especially for tea and coffee lovers--are like tools and jewels, aren't they? I need to head to Danni's to check out her glorious mugs *grins,* and I need to start taking pics of own.
Mugs can definitely give a sneak peek into the psyche of their owners. At my mother's house there is a mug that we kids gave Dad for father's day before he died. It says "Best Dad In The World" and had a color changing star on it. When I and my siblings are visiting home it's always a scramble to see who can get that one first. Then there is the black cat mug that I always use at Momma's. She puts it on a shelf for safe keeping between my visits. My day to day mug was a gift from a friend, has my name on it and a parrot with a cocktail in front of a surfer on a wave. (It's a Ron Jon Surf Shop mug.)I only drink coffee from it. For tea I use a green earthy looking mug.
