Some say that I am crazy!!

Others say no, just resourceful!!! I am kind of weird!! But I save EVERYTHING! I just know there is going to be some great use for all of my junk for one project or another. So these are all my old formula cans. I love them I have used them for all kinds of things. Most useful for me has been storage for my other "junk" Their most recent use was for madi's new piggy bank. Last Sunday she had me pull out all of my scrap books she loved my Europe scrapbook and also my college ones. She kept saying how one day she hoped she could go to that place where there is a queen and see her castle. (England) and also France to see the painting that is in Ever After (the Mona Lisa) So we talked about how she could do anything and how she had better start saving money for that Europe trip! Then we decided to get crafty and her and I made her this very tall!! Piggy bank. But it is perfect it sits in the corner of her closet. The bottom too are glued shut so she can't get in and the top two are velcroed (how do I speel that??) so she can pay her tithing and use her fun money!

so crafty! you know what else you can do with those metal cans? Make Ice Cream! your kids will love it. You just need 2 different sizes and fill the larger with ice and salt, the smaller with milk, sugar, vanilla. I loved doing that when i was little.
