My hubby picked up some photo paper with a sticky back and I have been able to adorn the lip balm containers with some novelties.  These containers are not lip balm containers at all, but they work so perfectly with the swinging hinge.  They are eyelet holders from the company "Making Memories".  If you are a scrapbooker or cardmarker you may be familiar with them.  So, we filled the containers with our lip balm recipes and will add vintage photos to the outside.  This one will be for a dear friend of mine who looks much like this vintage beauty. 

You can see a pink bottle in the second photo, which happens to be some perfume we are making.  I am not sure how it will turn out, but we have about four weeks until we find out.  You can see also in this photo that some of the lip balm are colored and others are not.  You can do all sorts of things with them! 

The third photo is the fabric we are using on our first test purse.  We used out least favorite fabric...which is still pretty, nonetheless but won't cause a great tragedy if we mess it up!  The outside fabric is oriental and the inside lining has a sort of celtic design.  Shayla asked if we were making the purse for a Chinese person...oh the mind of an eight-year-old.  Of course, when I told her we weren't she then asked if she could have it for herself. 

You can see in the final photo, a closeup of the "Making Memories" containers.  They look so much cuter with the photo on top but I wanted to show you a before and after so that you could see the starting product.  If anyone happens to have any of these containers that they are wanting to get rid of...I would LOVE to have them!
