Give a Warm Welcome to Project Queen!

November 10, 2011 By Shannah 1 Comment

Hi, my lovely readers!  I am so excited to welcome our first Guest Blogger today…Mandy from Project Queen.  She is visiting today to share an awesome idea with you so read on…
*******************************************
Hi I’m Mandy from Project Queen. I’m thrilled to be here today with Shannah at Just Us Four! I’m thrilled to be a guest on her lovely updated website. I’m excited to shared with you my new idea for a Christmas gift. Cheap and healthy. Is it food? Nope…just keep reading…

One of my MOST favorite traditions during the holiday season is baking yummy cookies and whipping up a batch of my special toffee, wrapping it in something festive and giving it to friends and neighbors. This year, I’ve decided that I’m going to honor my friends who are trying to live a more healthy lifestyle. For them, I’m making a gift that is CALORIE FREE. Not too exciting you say? Well, wait until you see this.

Here is the equation:

EPOXY + CHRYSTAL + SUCCULENT + DIRT + PLANTING POT = ?
COST = $3.50
Can you guess?
Any ideas?
Scroll…
Scroll…
Scroll..
Keep going…
Pretty darn cute huh?

Most plants will need some sort of drainage. The good thing about succulents is they don’t need a whole lot of water and they don’t need a whole lot of drainage – so no worries about holes in the bottom of the pot. Another good thing about succulents? It’s hard to kill them!

Tutorial:
1. Attach your candle stick holder to the pot with a high strength 5 minute (or quick dry) Epoxy. I purchased mine at Michael’s.
2. Plant your succulent.

That’s it folks!!! An easy and healthy Christmas gift for under $10.

How cute would this be sitting in a kitchen window?
**********************************************
Thanks, Mandy for sharing such a great idea!  It is pretty difficult to find a Christmas gift under $10 and especially one as cute as that little gift.  Be sure to stop over at Project Queen to see Mandy’s other great ideas and participate in the Blog Hop she has going on for the Christmas season.
