I love Mint Tins. I was in Trader Joe's the other day and found this tin of green tea mints, and of course thought it would make a great Photo Frame keepsake box-It already had a little plastic window for the photo- then I added the photo of my cock-a-poo Romeo and put a magnet on the back. Who knows what else a person can make from mint tins?!

Lately I'm trying to figure out what to do with the Eclipse tins...they are not flat like Altoids or Trader Joes...tall with a top opening. I have about a million of them. Any ideas? Posted: 11:35 pm on March 25th
