Be my Valentine altered altoids tin swap closed now...

[spotnik]

Woot!  And they are actually a pretty good price, too.  Thanks cassiecate57!  (Although I actually used part of the Altoids tin elements in my design this time...

pretty cool site thank you cassiete I hate sanding my tins and I hate the raised letters on them.  I think I will use what I have and order some from there you are so awsome.

Ok your tin update.   I have four things for the inside and an idea for something else.  I also think I know how I am going to do the outside.  I am going to try to do something new so I hope it turns out. 
I will start on it as soon as Hobby opens.

I found something at Hobby Lobby yesterday that I can make and will fit in the tin, but for some reason I'm having a brain block here. Probably because I haven't had more than 30 minutes to myself in the past 2 weeks. I'm hoping to get this totally done this week when my oldest is at school and my youngest is absorbed in Play Doh. I'm hoping to sit down and do some planning tonight, get my thoughts a little more organized!

edit: and on an unrelatd note, look what i found at specialtybottle.com
altoid tins!

BY the time we pay shipping you might as well go and buy Altoids at least you get a mint too...I like the cinn. ones and the choco covered mint ones...Hubby like them all....He now had everyone at work saving them for me LOL...less he has to buy...

I miss Hobby Lobby.  We don't have those here in Oregon.

i started the outside of my tin last night, i like it so far...it's all about texture, that's the only hint my talented ham is getting. hahaha. i know ONE thing i'm making to put inside and i have a good idea for a second thing, that's just going to be a matter of "can i make that work?"

i'm a little nervous though, this is my first tin swap and while I really like the tin and it's in accordance to some of the things my partner said she likes, i feel like, maybe it's not...fancy enough?

yeah, i don't like altoids. and i dislike filing/sanding off the paint. i was already paying the shipping for something else.

Yeah this HL is half the size of the one I had in New Mexico, plus there I had JoAnns too, I'm still having withdrawals and it's been 4 months. I can't imagine having to drive 3 hours to get to a store - of course I might suffer that if I lived by the beach. I guess you only get one or the other!

Looks like I'm going to have to go back to Hobby Lobby tomorrow as I just had a couple great ideas for things to go in the tin!
