Random thought

So I have been busy busy playing with my new toys! My Copic markers and I am getting better and better. Here is one of my latest cards.

I will post a few over the next week or so. I am loving experimenting with colors and seeing how far these can be pushed very fun. The stamps I used this time are Basic Grey and if you are dying to know the Copic colors just leave a note or e-mail I will be happy to share!

As for the randomness I though I would share a little money saving tip I came up with all on my own may not be original but I sure think it is creative. I love Bath and Body’s thick body creams, they are the very best, at least to me. BUT they are pricey and I hate the fact that you can not get all of the lotion out of the bottle! i am not willing to pay that much, even when on sale, which is when I buy them and not use every tidbit! Sooooo I get it all out every last squish of lotion and here is how.

When I have squeezed as much out of the bottle as I can and it looks almost empty like this…

I cut it into three sections like this…

I scoop out ALL of the lotion out of the top and middle portions and use it if I am ready to right then or just put it in the bottom portion of the lotion container (the section with the lid) Then I slide the cut off top onto the cut off bottom and voila I have my lotion contained in a mini bottle AND I can scoop out every smidgen of it with my finger. I usually get at least 5 or 6 more uses out of a single container by doing this.

This is a lot of randomness, I know, but someone might find it useful 🙂

Happy Friday to you all!
