Use for container...?

So... I like to use containers that I've recycled. And Ferrero Roche always has great containers. I've got tons of the brick shaped ones being used to hold paints in drawers, barrettes and hairpins, etc.

This year I got two of the large square flat boxes of Ferrero Roche... I am sitting here trying to figure out what to do with them. They don't fit in the drawers of my paint storage tower, but they are a really good depth and the lid fits on well...

Any ideas??

Picture where we can see the size?

Wakka, Wakka, Wakka! Too funny, Jenny.

Store small pots/zip lock bags of glitter?
Keeper for extra feathers/beads/gems that aren't in your kit.
A place to put all your gangsta rap cd's.
A keeper/workspace for making split cakes and supplies for (I use a tray... messy business)

I just realized that I don't know if it's the box that holds 3 chocolates or a whole mess of them.

And the chocolates are LONG gone Jenny!!! Duh

It's about the size of an LP cover... ah, you remember them right?

Well, if my old, achy, pressurized brain is correct, an LP cover is 12x12. Isn't that about the size of your document holders? Storing/transporting the big palattes? Start a scrapbook of all of your accomplishments and keep paper in it. Maybe a place to keep your keepsakes as you are working at the Olympics so they don't get smooshed while traveling. Um.... I'm tapped out.

They COULD work as palettes to hold large cakes - but I don't need them to do that. They are deaper than the document holders I've seen.

Maybe a large split cake for body painting with a 4" brush??

Hmm... but I could create palettes for the individual actors in the opening ceremonies by using velcro dots to affix the individual cakes, and add the brushes and sponges they'll need... hmm... that actually will work... BUT... I NEED MORE BOXES!! Hope the 50% sale is still on!!!

Well, if you need help... in the interest of international co-operation, I could empty some for ya. I mean, it is the Olympics and all.

Arctic Winter Games... not the Olympics. These games are being held in Grande Prairie in March...

But your support is most welcome!!

My apologies... Still big time... and I'm sure we all would be glad to eat a few chocolates to support the cause.

hmm...never thought about using the boxes for that.....I got one of the ones that has the 3 flavors...long rectangle.....hmmm.....Shannon, when you figure it out please post pics.....I am really intrigued!

lol this is too funny as I made my 6yo his kit out of one of these boxes! I was wishing I had another for my glitters.

Dang it, I just threw one of these out at work as I had to many. I use them to put cards, stickers etc in at work.

Shannon...Valentines is over and the chocolate sales are on! I just picked up two of those square Ferrero Roche boxes...mmm. They're less than half price at Save-on...not sure if you have that store in your town. So now I'm hopped up on chocolate...yippee!

Oh yeah, we have Save-On, Real Canadian SuperStore, 2 Safeways, 2 IGAs, Giant Tiger, a NoFrills under construction, Costco, Walmart with groceries, Zellers with groceries, the Co-Op (where I work) Marketplace...

We are big time!!!

We have FOUR Starbucks!! FOUR McDonalds, FIVE Tim Hortons, TWO DQs, THREE A&Ws...

I've been buying the Lindor truffles on sales...

Save-On is a BC company so I wasn't sure ... good 'ol Jimmy Pattison's chain. Are you going to the Bodyssey convention in August? I'm going to go for sure! My best friend lives in Calgary and her twins will be turning 2 that weekend. It'll be my first facepainting convention and I can't wait. I want to take as many classes as I can. Will you teach some?

Last I heard it was supposed to be in April... And no one's asked me about teaching.

August... what are the dates? I'll have to go looking for info.

I tried to get on the CAFABA site but it started to upload stuff automatically and my virus programs went into action and caught a trojan??? WTF??

I'm usually booked through August and that's when we were planning to hold Camp Fennell too.

I got that virus thing too...I gotta call Liz! I got an email from her saying it's the last weekend in August...27-30 I think. What's camp Fennell?

Hmm... if they are holding the County Fair again, that is the weekend for it.

Camp Fennell... see this thread http://www.facepaintforum.com/training-f10/camp-fennell-2010-t1111.htm?highlight=camp+fennell

Shannon & Catz, Bodyssey is in August. Originally it was to be in April, (like last year,) but they've had some changes. The CAFABA site is totally messed and their trying to fix it. I was kinda ticked bout that whole virus thing, and emailed the board when it happened to me. Liz Small said she'd be sending updates soon. Hope to meet a few of you there.
