I'd ordered a glass pump bottle to store my gamsol. These bottles are great as it not only prevents evaporation, but when you pump it gently, it brings up just a little amount of gamsol into the tiny reservoir at the top so that you can dip the blending stumps right into it and when you're done, you just close the lid and voila, no cleaning mess and no storage fuss. It's also safer to work with because even though gamsol is an odorless mineral spirit, the fumes are still there. Since I chose to buy a plain white bottle, I had all these wonderful plans to embellish it. But then I saw this cute little sticker in my stash and thought it perfect for this little bottle. I used the cricut to cut out the letters in vinyl and used that to label it. It was all done in a matter of minutes and I must admit a lot easier than I had originally planned! I love it when a good plan comes together :-)

Oh dear you make me feel so guilty, what a wonderful little alteration - my stash is crammed into unlabelled boxes and jars....maybe one day...

Oh my gosh I LOVE your little Gamsol bottle. I've been wanting to buy one of these but now you've really inspired me to GET one with your cute little personalized detail you've added. What a great touch ...Now I just hope I can go find one in stock somewhere.
