This was first ever attempt at altering and using a paint container. I obsessed over this for months and drove my new BF Melanie from TX absolutely nuts!
The containers had to have a theme and I chose "A Southern Summer Evening" and filled the contain er w/items around a Southern BBQ-recipes for Beer Can Chicken and Rub, (rub was included in the container), macaroni salad, sweet tea, and steamed Vidalla Onions. I made a dinner menu attached to the handle. Other items included Brad's Pitt BBQ Brads, ant brads, eyelets, ribbon, rooster tea towel, card kit featuring "Penny" by Whipper Snapper, and other stamps fitting the BBQ theme. I also included bubbles for the kids, the rub was for the DH and the craft stuff for you know who!
I had totally forgotten there was a contest for the best container--I was so obsessed w/altering the dadgum paint can and was amazed when the hostess notified me that her husband picked "A Southern Summer Evening" as the winner. His reason was "It all matched"--I think it was b/c he got a jar of rub!
