Ok so here is the paper I chose for my cans and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. As you can see I've put mine to good use and will be making more sets for gifts as they really do work very well. In making these I do believe I've totally gotten hooked on Hodge Podge. I've been surfing the www for more great creative ideas and so I'm thinking I'll try making some cool journals that I found. So be on the look out for more creativity.

I was babysitting for a 2 month old little girl for awhile and her mommy just brought a bag of pampers over along with a can of formula and left it there and when I started getting low she restock my house. My sister, Cheri, was working on making a craft space for herself so I decided to try and use the formula cans as I emptied them. I took scrapbook paper and Hodge Podge and walla,,,pretty containers for markers, colored pencils, scissors and whatever else she might need to have around to be creative. While making these I was cleaning out some of my craft area and came across some frozen juice containers that I had used for markers in the past and decided to match them up with her containers and see how that would work and as you can see it was a good idea. I'm hoping she is using them and loving them.

This year during D.A.R.E. week we had a cool them for every day and so of course we all got into this and had lots of fun. The one downer to the whole week was that I couldn't get my darn pics off my camera but low and behold it has happened and I have finally been able to get them onto my computer. One day was team hero day and you could wear your favorite teams shirts but since we are not huge sports fanatics we made our own team shirts and called it "Team Gilland". I dug all my fun sharpies out and put Jeff to work and I think he deserves props for the funtastic job he did on these shirts. Take note that the boys team number is actually their age.
Then another was "to cool for drugs" but when I went to Wallie World to get the bous some sun glasses and they were 10 bucks a piece...... YIKES, we have 4 boys so that was vetoed by all. But since D.A.R.E. week was the week of Halloween I decided to go the more fun route and got some fun glasses and then I made a little sign for them to wear that said "I'm to ghoul for drugs". All in all it was a lot of fun for all of us and it got us all involved.
