I think everyone has an artist inside them. No, not a real live miniture Monet or Picaso....b/c that would be weird....but rather a part of their spirit or soul that needs to be expressed in a creative way. Too often we're too scared to tap into the creative part of ourselves and we come up with excuses such as there's no time or space or that's just for mom's who stay at home. Well, I challenge you! I'll blog about some easy crafts and some not so easy crafts...double dog dare you to try a project and 'find the crafty you.'

Woo hoo!

While roaming Pinterest (pinterest.com), I came across a cute idea for storing glitter.  The person used salt and pepper shakers to store their glitter.  Easy to store and easy to use.  Loved the idea!

However, I figured it would take me some time to find affordable salt and pepper shakers, so I posted the picture to pinterest so I wouldn't forget about it and then I pretty much forgot about it until Emmy and I went out garage saling last Friday.

We got lucky and found a neighborhood garage sale, which when you are cruising garage sales with a two year old - is the mother load.  We could walk to quite a few without having to get in and out of the car seat.  One garage sale had amazing antiques (unfortunately they knew it too b/c they were all priced like antiques and not like garage sale items) so while admiring her salt and pepper collection I came across 12 small, simple shakers...with an okay price.

Vwa-la!  I have a new collection of glitter holders!  In fact, I need to go out and buy some more glitter!
If you have a chance, check out pinterest.com for ideas for storage for your craft supplies (and a whole lot more too!).  Nope - pinterest isn't paying me, I just love that site that much!  lol

Happy crafting today!
