St. Patrick's Day is actually one of my family's favorite holidays and one that often you have no idea what to do with. glue-dots-lucky-sanitizer-cutoutI thought it would be fun to take these aloe vera green hand sanitizer bottles and turn them into little gifts for people we know (like my children's teachers and family friends) and to tell them we feel lucky to have them in our lives. They're so easy and fun to make too!
