most recent idea

i just joined, so hello!  i've been collecting aol tins for a while now and could never decide what to do with them since they are so shallow nothing seemed to be a good idea.  well i finally thought of something and i am going to get going on it for xmas presents.  i am going to spray paint the tins with chalk board paint.  and then i am going to print out some words, photos, and game pieces on magnetic paper.  so basically what we'll have is a chalk board with some magnetic poetry, and game pieces included as well as some chalk i'll put inside.  i'll probably put some magnets on the back as well in case they want to hang them on the fridge. viola!  travel game board/chalk board.  fairly fun and almost useful.

anyone else have any ideas for the aol tins?
