Day 116 - Confessions of a hoarder

Hi, my name is Summer and I am a hoarder

Okay, it's nothing too serious...I'm a fairly neat and clean person whose decisions are based in logic

But I have a major soft spot for disposable containers that just seem too good to dispose of

I just can't bring myself to throw away something that can be reused

Especially if it's a good shape and has a twist off top

So here it is...the two containers I just can't resist

First up, i.d. powdered make-up containers

Small, sturdy, modern shape, clear holder with twist off opaque top, available in 3 sizes

So far I have reused one as a jewelry holder while traveling or in my purse

5 as vacation memory displays (I put sand and mini shells from our family trip to Maui in them)

Those were actually supposed to be family Christmas gifts 2 years ago but I lost them until we moved

And I just used one to hold my home made tinted moisturizer cream I made this morning

And I still have 11 empty ones (and another 12 still with make-up in them) ready for more crafting

Second, The Simply juice containers

I don't know why, I just love these juice bottles

The shape, the green top...they're just so cute

And seeing how I drink 1 orange juice or 1 apple juice a week...well we have a lot of these

So far we have only reused them to hold crystal light (both regular and raspberry lemonade - yum)

But that is still something...we save a lot buying the powder stuff and making "juice" at home

But I have big dreams for these containers too...

I want to use these for premixed cocktails (and mocktails) with custom labels

All sitting in a large round galvanized bucked full of ice on the back patio...

or sitting on doilies surrounded by lemons and flowers in the center of round tables with white table clothes

And the labels can have table numbers on them... 

Do you see what I'm talking about!!! I love parties and crafting things for parties
