Ice melt

[moogan]

I was thinking of doing paint cans of ice melt for neighbor gifts, and I wash oping someone knew of a cute poem/saying to attach to the can. I tried a search, but I'm kinda a newbie at this. Google didn't have any answers either (which just goes to show you how inept I am at this!)

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I've never heard of Ice Melt....could you tell us more about it please :-)

It's the salt mix you sprinkle on your sidewalks and driveways to melt the ice so your visitors do not slip.

It will rust through the paint pan though.

No quote or saying -- all I can thing of is a little something to keep you upright and off your backside. However, if you'r econcerned about it rusting through the can why not repackage the ice melt in some zip lock bags. Sounds like a cute idea.

Just ran accross this,saw a VERY CUTE idea at the library in a "craft" window display. A person used a large plastic creamer container,it was clear and decorated it like a snow man and filled it with ice melt. It was really cute!!!

We're neighbors and friends, and that's no kidding,
Here's something to keep your feet from skidding!

My neighbors are all upright citizens,
This is to help keep them that way!

Just to keep you safe!

Obviously, the first letters need to be emphasized, so one can see it spells MELT!

I wouldn't let our friendship slip,
It's not like me to let things slide!
To give your walk a little grip,
I've put deicer, tucked inside!

Contrapat ~ you are so clever! Anyone of those would be a great saying for a tag. If I were making them, I'd use a different one for each neighbour!
