Containent

[guywithmonsters]

I've got a thing going with containers. I'm going to start making bento lunches (even though I don't really have a bento box) and I want to make snow globes. I acquired 4 snowglobes in the last three days actually. None are for me though - I'm making up a "Christmas snow globe starter kit" for the gift swap. Our limit if $50 and so far I have a big Sesame Street animated one, a smaller Santa one and a Disney one. I have $15 left for another globe. I'm considering the globe kits where you put your picture in it. That would be fun. It's pretty much a "I have kids" kind of gift but Mr Bear always rocks the other one so I'm indulging myself.

Lately, I've been typing up a storm and my typing is some how worse for the wear. Weirdness.

Blame macushla for the Bento thing - her friends list is full of them. All these beautifully plated lunches in boxes. It's like getting a present at lunch. How fun! It could only be better if it was a surprise bu then there's the "I don't like that" risk - especially with me. I'm mad fussy about my lunch.

Not much else going on here. I need red tissue paper to start wrapping Christmas presents. Our theme this year is a pop/cartoony Santa. Very 60's or David Kirk. I bought the paper on clearance last year and, luckily, I'm on a mad "Olivia" kick so it still fits my mood.

You can usually get them at a craft store but I found these while looking for something else.

kits (http://www.snowdomes.com/makeyerown.html) and more from oriental trading (http://orientaltrading.com/application?namespace=browse&origin=searchMain.jsp&event=link.itemDetails&demandPrefix=12&sku=48/3388&mode=Searching&erec=0&D=snow%2Bglobes&Ntt=snow%2Bglobes&Ntk=all&Dx=mode%252bmatchallpartial&Ntx=mode%252bmatchallpartial&N=0&sd=COLOR-YOUR-OWN+SNOWMAN+SNOW+GLOBES). I would totally shop around before ordering though.

pretty lunches :)
I use all kinds of containers.. I just never like the idea of plastic baggies.
Ohhhh snow globes. Eth is a huge fan of them too. I ususally put all the ones I've gotten as presents over the years in his room at Christmas time. It's all fun and festive.

Have you made snow globes? I'm trying to figure out how to put a picture in one - not behind it. I'm thinking either epoxy or photo transfer onto fimo but I figured I'd ask. ;-)

I'm going with some glad containers for now. I like the idea of the craft and coolness of it. I love plating food.
