Crafternoon

I am not a crafter.  As I have stated previously if something didn't start out that way, why change it.  With this being said yesterday I was obligated to craft.  I promised my roommates that I would attend a craft day even though crafting in my opinion can be compared to one of the circles of ...... well I won't mention where.  The only problem now was what in the world was I going to make.

I spent time at craft stores.  I went to craft websites.  I even racked my brain for things that my room could use.  Nothing came to mind.   I was up a creek.  In a last ditch effort I went with my roommates to a final scrapbooking store near the house that we would be assembling the crafts.  Miracle of miracles my brain kicked into high gear.  Maybe I am just able to come up with idea's when the pressure is on.  

While my roommates looked at wood cutouts to paint I started looking at the metal containers.  I saw a small metal container located near some buttons and different colored ribbons.  As I looked at all these three things something in my mind clicked.  I could make a little pick me up jar for when you would need a little pick me up.  All I needed was to assemble these little jars and put in little inspiring uplifting notes.  I could give one to my sister and to my mother for those days when they just need a little boost.  (My sister hasn't received hers yet, but I think they turned out pretty well)
