Repurposed Treat Container {Party Favor}{Valentine}

I might just be obsessed with gum. This has been an affliction for as long as I can remember. I may or may not have stolen a piece of already chewed gum from under the counter at the bank (I know, right? Disgusting. I would probably throw up if one of my kids did that). I want to show you what I do with all of the empty containers from my very favorite gum by Mentos.

I love this gum for many reasons. It comes in a bunch of different flavors; the flavor lasts forever; and best of all, the containers ROCK. They actually stay shut in my purse and that, my friends, is awesome. I couldn't bear to part with these bright, well-contained containers when I was done with the gum, so I turned them into candy containers.

When Worlds Collide

I find it unsettling when worlds collide - not bad, not good, just unsettling. I view my world in compartments, you see? Or at least I try to. Work is work. Home is home. Social is social. I rarely venture into a world that combines different sectors of my life. In fact, I am just now getting used to the idea that it is actually possible to make friends at work. I know. I am (almost) 30. This really should have occurred to me about 15 years ago.

Facebook has created this weird phenomenon that makes worlds collide and always baffles me - people I know, know each other. That whole "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" thing exists in the real world and not just in the celebrity world. Weird. Slowly, I got used to that idea.

And then this happened...

What I Wish I Wore Wednesday

Oh, to be stylish. A few months ago, my husband asked me what I would buy if I had an extra $1000 to spend just on me (as if that would ever happen). All I could think of was clothes. And shoes. And accessories. Seriously. If I had $1000 just for me, I would take a giant trash bag, walk over to my closet and fill that sucker with almost everything I own. Then I would start over. And I would dress like this:

A Tile Tale - Scrabble Crafts

For some reason, I am in love with Scrabble. I can't win the game - I can barely come up with three letter words sometimes thanks to "Mommy brain" - but those little tiles are irresistible. Here are some fun scrabble tile crafts and projects for your enjoyment...
