Personalized Hand Sanitizer & Soaps

These were just too cute not to make them. Amy over at The Idea Room posted this in February and I knew I had to make some.

So almost a year later I finally did, for Christmas/Teacher gifts.

The only problems I ran into is that I had to buy a 50 pack of transparencies and I had to go up to my Sister-in-Law's work to print them. Oh yeah I had to type up my own templates because the template that Amy at The Idea Room provided wouldn't let me add any text. Okay so that was more than one problem but I survived and they turned out SOOOO cute I had to make myself one.

Too Flippin Cute!

What a great Teacher Gift...especially with it being Flu season.

Do you Dumpster Dive? Cause I do.

My Trash to Treasure...

Apparently I collect "trash" off the side of the road so often that my friends and family have started to bring me "trash" that they find. My friends and family are creative enough to do something with the things they find because they obviously saw potential in the items they bring to me. I really think they are embarrassed to put dumpster finds in their homes as decoration. However I get excited to transform things that nobody wanted into fabulous finds. Here are a few:

My friend Vickie brought me these things from a house that had burned down. I was ecstatic because I had been on the look-out for a small chair to use as a plant stand...perfect.

She also snatched up all these items too. What is the saying? One man's trash is another man's treasure.

A little elbow grease and wha-lah! TREASURE!

Here they are around my house

Just in time for Christmas decorating.

This one is hung in my bathroom window. I know I need window treatments but I like my fabulous find here.

I showed my find Vickie these things in my house and she was blown away, she said she never would have thought to use them the way I had. Thanks Vickie for all my FABULOUS Trash!!

Here is the inspiration to my bleach project shirts.

I wanted you guys to get an idea of where all these random projects I come up with. I promise it's not me being clever all the time it's my obsession with BLOGS!! So here it is and I will post mine as soon as I upload the pictures.
