creative gift-giving.

this holiday season i don't have too much money to spend on my family & friends unfortunately. but lucky for me i am able to make a lot of the gifts i give which i think is better than spending loads of cash because it gives a personal touch that you wouldn't get otherwise.

{merry christmas! love kermit & miss piggy}

while my brother was in alabama, he collected quite a few bottle caps off the ground. he sent them home hoping i would do something with them for him. well i never really got around to it so i thought a christmas present would be the best thing to do with them.

i took a plain black photo album with a smooth cover from wal-mart and hot glued the bottle caps on in rows. i glued a little foam piece to the inside of the bottle caps to have a sort of platform to glue to the photo album so i didn't have piles of glue around the base of the caps.

for a personal touch i added one of his missionary badges in the center. afterall, this will be used for his many pictures from the mish.

turned out pretty cool right? i think he'll like it.

happy holidays everyone!
