Use What U Got

Today's Tip: The next time you buy pot puree, strawberries, blue or raspberries, think about reusing the container to house gift bath, or other small products you have created in. It cuts down on your delivery time to friends, family, or clients. It also saves on fuel, as you have it (the container) on hand and don't have to go from store to store looking for a something small enough to house your masterpiece. You have also cut down on the use of petroleum based items, which should make you feel just a little bit better about your self, at least the part about cutting down on trash.  Now that second piece of double fudge chocolate cheese cake, I can't help you with. Don't be affraid to reuse those Dixi Cups either, they are a big help. If you can get out the salsa smell, you are in business!

Bee-U-T-ful Soap,lip balm, bath soak by Something Dirty: that'd be me :-)

Do include a note to the giftee/client stating why you chose that particular vessel, as it will help personalize your item, and the person is not left thinking that you are just a big cheappie, spreading that non fact about all about town. It's so much nicer to be known as a person who is green instead of cheap!

Drop me a line if any of these tips help.

Sampling

Today's Craft: Any



Today's Topic: Samples



Hello fellow crafters both old and new. This blog site will generally be focused on art and or crafting issues, but won't be limited to those subjects. I will attempt to give you new ways in which to perform certain tasks, short cuts, money saving tips, as well as some green ways to do it.

I am new to Blogger, so I thought that I would start off with something simple. Forgive the content display as I have not yet found how I'd like things to look.  Suggestions are welcomed.

Today's Tip: Want to give someone a sample, not the whole product? Don't have anything suitable for your product? Think again! Use those old paint by numbers paint containers for samples of oils, creams, soaps, or any powdered product. They close tightly, fit anywhere, and everyone has them. Clean out the old paint, let container dry, use a sharpe or paint marker to decorate, and you have a cute sample container. See, short and simple.

Happy Sampling!
