Bookmark - paint chip style


For our Buckeye Blogger get together
I made these bookmarks 
from paint chips
the ones from ACE work the best!


I cut them 2 x either 7 or 8 in long
depending on your preference



covered the back
using a glue stick



stamped them with the quote
from Eleanor Roosevelt

“Many people will walk in 

and out of your life,

 but only true friends 

will leave footprints in your heart”


which I got at JoAnn's


and 
branch which I got at Michaels


cut the round corners



punched a whole 
and 
added the ribbons









I found thse new
paint chips
at Menards
so I have a new set to play with

Lemon Sugar Scrub Gifts

Lemon scrub



I got the recipe and tags are here

I did a little bit of a change
I like the coarser sugar
so I used 


1 1/4 C raw sugar
1 1/4 C white Sugar
1 C olive oil


then add 4Tbsp or abt 1 lemon

I use one of these to get the most out
of the lemon


I also warm the lemon in
micro

mix well
and spoon into a jar


to deocrate I used the tags from the link above 
I printed them on white but it didn't
give it the look I wanted 
so I dabbed on the  following


 to make it look more antique


I then wanted to do 
something special for the spoons
I have another project
 I am going to do w 
the thinner baby spoons
so while looking for them 
I cam across these 
and they were perfect


so I got out some jewels
I had and E6000
and glitzed them up





then it was time to put it together


the ribbon wouldn't stay so it was back to square one

I had these plastic bags






It makes abt four 8 oz jars
 w a little left over for you 
 I added more sugar for a 5th jar
