Last weekend, thanks to the enabling of my mother and some pretty sweet Michael's coupons, I ended up buying a whole lot of glitter:

| That darn Martha Stewart. Her craft supplies are so annoyingly irresistible. |
I also accidentally picked up a bunch of paint chip samples from the hardware store, even though I have no intentions of painting any rooms any time soon. (I'm sorry, Ace Hardware. My bad. I saw the colors and went a little crazy.)
I was itching to use the new glitter in some way, so I decided to make a notecard to send to a friend. One of my goals for this year is to send more letters to friends--because who doesn't like getting unexpected mail?

| Using ALL OF THE GLITTER |
I decided to make the theme of the notecard "Happy Spring!" because I am indeed incredibly happy that spring has made its appearance.
A little paint chip grass and paint chip flower, et voila! Instant spring notecard. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go glitter everything I can get my hands on.
Um, this idea is beyond fantastic. Even if you *don't* accidentally pick up paint chip cards, and you just have them because you actually want to paint something, it's a great way to recycle them. Thumbs up, dude!
