Pringles!

Its that time of the month were I share my latest 'Not Just Cards' creation. I decided to recycle an old Pringles tin. Every Christmas I buy sweetie candy canes & put them on the tree & every year they are still all there after Christmas lol. So I thought if I made a pretty tub to put them in, they might get eaten before the new year !
