A creation, a winner, and my Blogaversary!!

Today is my one year Blogaversary! Whoo hoo!!  I have had so much fun sharing my creations over this past year! Thank you to everyone who supports and stops by my blog! Without you, I would not be able to enjoy my hobby so that I can share!!  Before I continue with yesterdays winner and the candy you can win today, I would like to share the project I mentioned about what you can do with your Prima Flower bottles if you don't want to throw them away! 

This week was Teacher Appreciation and we had something different we were to send to the teachers everyday this week.  One of the days was something sweet and yesterday was some school supplies.  I have seen some glasses recently that had a small window of chalkboard material on the front for writing your name.  I decided I could do the same or something similar as a gift for the teachers. 

I bought a can of Chalkboard spray-paint and cut out a template using my mega nestibilities curvy frame.  I used masking tape to hold the frame in place and cover the glass so not to get paint anywhere else.  I gave it couple of coats and let dry. Once it was dry, I peeled away all the tape and the template.  The paint has a tendency to get underneath the template, but I found that nail polish remover and some Q-tips worked great to remove the excess you did not want.  I filled the candy jar with M&M's and the Prima Bottle with some different pencils I picked up at a school supply store.  On the candy jar, I added some ribbon and tied a stick of chalk to the front while on the Prima jar, I added some ribbon that says 'Thanks' and a felt flower by Petaloo with a crystal brad.  Just really simple! You can do so much with with either project but I have twins, so that meant 4 projects total! I am into simple! LOL!!   I hope you enjoyed these projects! It is a good way to do some recycling!!

Wow! Super Candy for each of these days. Thanks for bringing the loot to the party and sharing so generously. 

Sounds like Just-Rite product from the hint but though I searched their site I couldn't find anything relating to Kings. Hmmm....regal monogram of some sort maybe? Or a Cammie King product and Just Right hmmm...can't wait to see.
