| a paint can for my dad for Christmas. He is a professor at the university here in town and he brings candy for his students to eat while he bores them  Well, he wouldn't want to admit they are bored but they probably are. Anyway, he's just using a plastic container (like a sherbert bucket) right now so I bought a paint can & am going to alter it with Life (the game) paper. He teaches finance classes & the paper has money on it. I really hope he likes it! I'll take a picture for the gallery when I'm done. |

| Okay, here it is. I finished it while watching the ultimate Christmas movie today Nationa Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Wouldn't be Christmas without that movie!! I used pennies and only 2 dimes & 2 nickels as I didn't want some poor college kid to pick the change off! LOL!!  |
