save created product in session and assign to customer after guest logged in

Question

once guest user click on button "create",

1) we are creating product programatically and

2) displaying pop up form to enter email id , password and login button.

once click on login button, we are creating new product and assiging that to customer [ as guest will become customer after login ]

what i want to know is once guest user click on "create" button, as we create product programtically, can we keep that product in session or in somewhere and once guest click on login button, can we assign that product to customer ?

is this possible to achieve ?

Create an observer for customer_register_success event and create the product there.
