Look what I made! Another batch of yogurt! (Yes, we ate a gallon of yogurt in a week. It's okay, though...it's fat-free. And organic. And there are a bunch of us, so it's really more like we each ate an eighth of a gallon of yogurt in a week. Which still sounds like a lot of yogurt, no?) I have to say, the whole yogurt thing gets high marks in my book. Try it.
I have this incredible day job. I get to play secretary at our synagogue, and one of the many perks is that I get to keep all of the security envelopes that come in the mail. And then I cut them up and make fun things with them. (But not at work. Because that would be inappropriate. And immature.) So today, I covered some prescription bottles in blue pinstripes. Just because. And I'll be darned if I know what I'm going to keep in my pinstriped bottles, but they're pretty cute. So I'll tell you what. Since this is a craft blog, and we know that all the cool craft blogs have giveaways, I'm going to step up to the plate and put three of these little cuties up for grabs. If you'd like to win the set of them, leave me a comment explaining what you'd use a prettied-up pill bottle for. I'll choose a winner on Sunday evening.
Take a peek at everybody else's creative spaces over at kootoyoo! And thanks again to Kirsty for hosting us...
Just when I think I've seen it all, you outdo yourself again. Cooking up batches of yogurt, making pinstripe pill bottles... you are just too much.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to send this post to Gavi so she can see what you did with the pill bottles; it's the kind of thing she'd love to keep her "trinkets" in.
I can't tell you how often I look at my array of sanity-maintaining pharmaceuticals and think "If only these bottles had some sort of snazzy cover. Polka dots? Pshaw. Purple pansies? Putrid. Pinstripes? Perfect!" Oh, how I would cherish something like that!
ReplyDeleteI would use my pretty pill bottle for storing particularly precious seeds.
ReplyDelete(Lori told me to check out your blog -- we do indeed have a metric crapload of things in common :) Gardening, crafting, writing, some parenting, laundry, yarn, etc. It's going to be fun to add you to my daily read here and on FB!
Mmm yoghurt. The pill bottles are cute! I think I would use one for keeping packaging supplies in - little odd pieces of string and so on, but I like Robins seeds idea too!
ReplyDeleteI like the seed idea and also think they would be great for safety pins and other sewing odds and ends. I'm off now to check out your what makes a great blog list to see if I can tick off any of them. Have a great weekend. X
ReplyDeleteSuch an excellent perk!
ReplyDeleteWithout all the alliteration, I'd put my pills in 'em. Oh, wait. That was alliteration, too.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm going to be really boring and say something like paperclips 'cos I'm really untidy, but I think they'd look cute on my desk :)!
ReplyDeleteI would use them to brng my vitamins to work every day instead bringing them in the ugly brown empty prescription bottles that I use every day! I fill them up in the beginning of the week and then grab one each day.
