Crafty Confessions :: Travel Cup Remixed Starbucks Style

I scored this little insulated travel cup from my local dollar store with the intent to use it for fixing up my favorite soy shakes to go.  Although I do indeed use it for this purpose, I thought it would be fun to give it a little make over.  Who doesn't love an excuse to customize something?  I don't know about you but I have my Starbucks favorite.  This changes seasonally of course, I have my favorite cold weather drink as well as my favorite hot day drink.  Since it is not uncommon for me to be forced to repeat my "signature" warm weather combo, numerous times to our local Barista, I thought it would be fun to have my cup permanently state just what exactly "Jessa's Java" is.

I started by creating my Starbucks order area on the side of my cup which is basically just six boxes lined up vertically down the side.  Next you need to learn the lingo... time to decode your favorite drink.
