Keith Urban has a song on one of his cd's with a saying that goes "blah blah blah who wouldn't want to be me?" It's such a happy song and every time I hear it when I'm driving, I start bopping in my seat. It would be so cool if Keith would come by the studio and do one of our videos with us. If the little twerp hadn't gotten married to what's her name I could have hooked him up with you know who and maybe sparks would have "sparked".
Anyway I digress. My point, if I have any points, is that I'm so lucky to do what I do. I love coming up with ideas and passing them on to all 8 of our viewers. And, when I'm on a roll...I'm on a roll. This month I'm on a roll, and I think this may be the coolest project I've done (although, I say that about all of them).
I thought these jars would make excellent surfaces for metal and they surpassed my expectations. Of course, we have them so you too can create your very own "metalized jar". Just go to our online store. These jars are so easy to decorate and you'll want them everywhere to store all your valuable crapola.
The jar to the left of the button jar is an old spice jar. Remember girls, recycle, recycle.
Here is a closeup of the backside of each jar. I thought I was being so brilliant when I drew the button on the back, and I just freehanded it. Then Megan saw it and started cracking up so you'll have to watch today's Taco Tuesday video to see if you agree with her name for it.
She loves to mock me and I think it looks like a really "cute" button.
What really blew my mind was taking the little ketchup bottles and decorating them. The people at the hotel we were at thought I was nuts, but what's new! I hate throwing away all this glass and it's amazing how much stuff we all throw away everyday.
Leave a comment on this posting and on Friday we will pick a lucky winner who will get the small jar, the ketchup jar and the spice jar. I gotta keep the button jar and after watching the video you'll know why.

When we started this blog and our Taco Tuesday Videos last year, we had maybe 4 viewers, who soon became 5 viewers and then 6 and so on and so on. Now, we have thousands of viewers and are amazed at the emails and phone calls we get from all you wonderful nuts out there. It cracks me up when I answer our phone and someone starts hyperventilating and squeals "is this really Cheryl?" Especially, since I've probably just been cleaning the toilets at the studio, or as in one recent video when I was picking up fertilizer for my pumpkin garden. I actually do work, but my job title is also head toilet cleaner.
You guys leave the nicest comments and we really appreciate everyone who supports our products in their local stores and are trying to keep this economy rockin'. It's really hard picking winners and I wish all of you could get one of my pieces so today's winner for the canvas with the fragments is....Penny Arrowood!
you two kill me! i am amazed that i learn anything for laughing at your carrying on >:-D thanks for the GREAT inspiration to do more with metal! *not to mention the coercion to purchase MORE stuff to obtain obsolete tools - slick!*
...off to finish my order!
