Where do you love to get inspiration? You all know I love browsing Pinterest, Craftgawker, and other blogs, but I also get plenty of great ideas from magazines. The most recent little project I whipped up was inspired by the July issue of All You magazine, which I picked up last Friday at Target.
I didn’t think my Target carried All You because I’ve tried to buy it there before and even asked associates about it all to no avail. But last Friday, there it was! Someone had even popped it up a bit so it caught my eye immediately, saying, “Buy me!” How could I say no? I mean, just look at those individual strawberry shortcakes on the cover!
As I read through the magazine, there were a ton of great recipes, tips for easier {and cheaper} housecleaning, and a great article about various ways to save and stretch your money that featured some advice from Financial Peace University, which hubby and I loved going through last fall. But my favorite article was actually a new feature All You has added where they come up with a quick challenge and ask two bloggers to submit their best ideas.
This month’s challenge was to create a project using an old tin can that took three steps or less. Two fabulous bloggers {who I think many of you would recognize} shared their projects, one of which was a tin can wrapped with twine. I absolutely loved the look of it and it inspired me to grab a few containers I had sitting around the house to make some festive patriotic decorations.

I LOVE all of these..I think the arrangement with all of them is great because you have so many different textures with a common red theme!

The first time I saw this post, I was swooning over the twine jar. The second time around, I’m eyeing the candy IN the jars. Hmmm…the sugar addiction shows its ugly head.
Happy Fourth!
