craftgrrl | thank god for spray paint and ugly tins

hello beautifuls :) (new)

i'm positively in love with this community and with craftiness. i'm anxiety-prone and this stuff calms me like none other.

yesterday i bought some nifty silver-sparkly spray paint and spent the night spraying everything in sight, coffee cans, altoid tins, etc. etc.

for my mom's bday i took a round candy tin (ugly as sin), sprayed it, and put a little round mirror on the lid. i took a foam heart and put it on the inside of the lid and now i'm trying to decide what to put inside it. my mom doesn't do candles; she's a big craft girl herself, if that helps. do suggest something, her bday is monday and i'm stuck ;x

i also sprayed an altoid tin for boyfriend/valentine's day. i'm leaving the outside inconspicuously plain silver and putting pictures of us on the inside. but once again, what to fill it with? he doesn't do candles either...jeesh. he's quite the emo kid though, and if i could afford pins of bands i'd buy him a ton (which would require a trip ito hot topic, blargh)

helpies please ;)
