a gift for a "bright" graduate

I was so inspired when I found light bulb jars at Hobby Lobby.  I've seen so many clever things done with old light bulbs, but I had no idea there were actual light bulb jars!  I got a little excited.  I just thought it was pretty cool.

So I got a few and made little treats for graduates.  (These jars are filled with lemon heads.)  You could make some cute printable tags, but I had these yellow Martha Stewart tags in my stash just waiting to be used.

Ideas for messages:

"Your future looks bright"

"You're one bright kid"

...you get the idea here :)

You could even pretty 'em up a little more with ribbons in the school colors and such.

These were for a couple of older boys, so I didn't think they'd care so much for 

all that ribbon and frilly stuff :)

I found my light bulb jars here.

It's been awhile...

So I haven't been posting much...at all.  

I'm hoping I'll come up with something fabulous to share soon, but for now I'm just doing lots of copycat crafting.

I've also just been taking time.  

Life is short.  Moments are precious.

So I'll post occasionally when I have something to share, and will not longer be hosting the link party.   On my Inspiration page you will find loads of fabulous link up parties, so check them out. :)

Minion Eggs

What else can we do with those left over plastic Easter eggs?

So far we've made teacups and a basket of strawberry eggs.

The little guy loves the movie Despicable Me.  He thinks the minions are so funny.

Who am I kidding...I think they're funny, too.

Let's make some Minions.

I used half a blue egg, half a yellow egg, googly eyes, and black vinyl.   

Easy and fun. :)
