Upcycled Soup Can Kitchen Caddies
I think I have taken this whole upcycling of the soup can too far.
It's like I became obsessed.
Like I wouldn't give up until I found every possible way to make the soup can awesomely functional.
Totally not my personality to be compulsively obsessed with things.
I lie. I lie. I lie.
Give me some Adderall and a Google search and I will find out your mother's best friend's hair dresser's favorite brand of toothpaste.
What!? I don't know.
I got 10 hours of sleep last night. I am on a ROLL.
These soup can caddies will rock your world. I made them on the Hallmark Channel several weeks back and I'm just getting around to posting the actual blog because ya know ..... summer happened.
Well now it's back to work ya'll.
