I thought I would share this quick tip with you girls today .I actually put this to use this weekend at the SCS Michigan event I went to for my shoebox swap .... Everyone that made my card got a kick out of this idea I came up with .. Very inexpensive too, Gotta love that right ? So I am passing it on to you today also .. Please watch the short video below ( Which highlights my 2 favorite things ~ Dazzling diamonds and 7-Eleven ) I hope you will get a kick out of it too :-)
GUESS WHAT ?
I also wanted to let you know I now have my Easter Class projects available on DVD . This DVD has step by step instructions/ videos for each of the 4 projects, with measurements & also a few tips and techniques used . These 4 projects are Easter themed BUT you can use these ideas for all other occasions for your special gift giving day such as Birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving , St Patty's Day , Valentines day , 4th of July , Halloween etc... Just use different colored Card stock , ink and stamp sets . If you are unable to attend my Easter goodies Class this upcoming Friday due to previous engagements or if you live out of state and wish to see these projects being made then MY DVD is just for you .. Please visit my Stamp Shop HERE for more details Plus you can also order My Easter class DVD over there as well with pay pal .
Thanks for stopping by today. I will see you all again tomorrow .
Until then... Happy Stampin!
Clever! I guess I am making this "small" spoon my new addition to my stamping room... By the way, it's hard to find a 7 Eleven in Texas... I remember these from when I was a kid in Maryland! It was our local "hangout"...
Thanks for sharing

FAB idea Dawn! Thanks for the tip! I think I'll hit a dollar store today to see if I can find some containers to put all my glittery stuff in. Then LOOK out 7-11 ;)
Hope your Saturday event was full of fun!

Another small spoon that you can use...Go to Baskin Robins and ask for a taste of ice cream. They have the cutest little spoons. You could spend all day getting taste samples and have enough little spoons for every glitter project. Love the new photo Dawn, Rich isn't going to recognize you when he gets home!!!
Hugs, Sharon

Love the straw idea! I have used the sample spoons, too. My family automatically gives me their spoons every time we are out & they give us something to taste!

Great idea, Dawn! Very frugal too, I must say - we don't have any 7 Elevens any more either, but anyplace that serves Slurpees has these straws. The little ice cream spoons were hard to get out of the glitter container, but these will be much easier - Thanks!
