Altered items

Peanut butter jars turned money jars for the newly turned 4 year-old... patterned after the jars my dad made me when I was a little girl. I think mine were made of baby food jars...if inflation gets as bad as they are predicting, we'll have to upgrade to the Sam's gallon-sized pickle jars.

A former cocoa container gets a new life as a candy "jar" for WH's desk.

Nothing is safe from my cardstock and rub-ons. What will be next? Probably something for Christmas (if you want to know exactly how much time you have until then check this out).

So cute! I love the cocoa box with the tree stamps. I'm with ya: nothing is safe from my cardstock and ribbon and stamps. Great ideas!!

So cute! I really liked that Simply Scrappin' Kit you used that SU! had awhile back... If you like checking out stamping blogs for ideas, stop by mine sometime: www.cottagestamping.blogspot.com There's nothing spectacular there, but some simple and easy to duplicate ideas!

Great ideas! I would love for you to post more info on the whole money thing and what you have learned and decided. As of now my boys are my slaves without any compensation but it would be nice to start teaching them to manage their money, and give small rewards for their hardwork without them expecting it all the time.

Those are great ideas! I have been keeping things like old jars and old pill bottles so I can decorate them and give them as gifts. I haven't done any lately but your post reminded me that I better get a move on since I won't have as much time on my hands soon!
