Some of you may remember how I love to decorate empty clean paint cans (they sell them at Home Depot), with scrapbooking paper, and stickers to wrap a small gift or ornament. This year, I "repurposed" the idea to use the decorated paint cans as a cheap and easy centerpiece for my professional organization's party at a hotel. Imagine...ME as Social Committee Chairman! The hotel provides mirror squares and votives, The paint cans are filled with 4 sacks of holiday cookies (SEE why I've been baking like a crazy woman?), and will also double as raffle prizes!

You can take an elementary teacher out of the classroom...
