Eclipse tins...

Ok... so remember how I posted up that Kaisercraft Desk Organiser... and it had all those Eclipse mint tins in it... well here is a little post on those... Guy loves those mints and always has them in the car... OK I love them too! lol! We go through LOTS and the tins were piling up in our car... so I got the bag and decided to used them!!

They are the perfect size for storing embellishments in .. I was going to decorate them all but have not got that far yet... but this is how I know what's in each tin...



I stuck on top the lid one of the embellishments I am storing in that container :D

I had to pop in that Eclipse tin in the background as when we saw them sitting on the shelf at Target I had to have one (suckered in my merchandising again!).. although the mints in that tin were Spearmint .. gross - so Guy got them all to himself!!

OK... just for fun I am going to send out an Eclipse tin filled with lots of different embellishments to one random commenter on this post!

  1. I love those mints and their little tins too Sammi. I've made Christmas decorations to give away out of some a few years back. I'll have a look and see if I've still got a photo of one and put it on FB for you to see. And I love spearmint the most too! ;-)

  5. Very ingenious of you Sammi - I had seen those tins on your previous post and thought you were just using them to show size. You are not just a pretty face are you?

  7. Heh cool - whenever I have one of those tins I always wonder how I've gone through the mints so fast ;-)

  8. LOVE the Twilight tin Sammi...haven't seen those around so will have to look harder. Spearmint are my favourites too so your hubby wouldn't want me around or we'd be fighting over them lol

  10. Hi Sammi,
    I bought the "Eclipse" pack too and to quote my kids 'they are too spicy!' Had to have the movie packaging though...I am another sucker!
