Nostalgic "Milk" glasses from starbucks frappichino jars


I was wanting to pick up some of those old time milk glasses for my Saturday Family Brunches. I was scouring the thrift stores and antique shops and then inspiration struck me like a bolt of caffeine! The perfect "milk" jar was sitting in my fridge. I peeled the label off, used some goo gone to get the residue off, added a plastic striped straw and voila! Breakfast is served!

Gifts you can make for about a buck!


Everyone is finding ways to scrimp and save this holiday season. Here is a fast and easy idea for a gift you can make for about a dollar, using everyday items from around the house.  This is one of those fabulous gifts that you wouldn't even know was handmade unless someone told you. I don't know about you, but I think handmade is best!

Sweet and Smooth Sugar Body Scrub

What you need:
Olive Oil
Sugar (I like sugar in the raw )
Jar of your choice
Card Stock Paper (60 LB cover)
Color Printer
Glue Stick
Optional: Essential Oils

Directions:
1.) Mix olive oil and sugar together in a small container.  Add a few drops of Essential Oils if you like.   I used a lovely pumpkin fragrance from Bath and Body Works
2.) Print off label.  Click here to snag a sheet of the label we created.  
3.) Add Sweet and Smooth scrub into Jar.
4.) Use a glue stick to affix the label to the jar.
