De-Glittering a tub Full of goodies!

Look at all those delightful jars of embossing powders, glitters, flock, googly eyes and critter tails! (Click the Pic and investigate some more, if you'd like. :>)

Now, let me tell you what is not so delightful..... This tub is from back in the day, when I started stamping in the mid-'90's. At one point, there was a film canister of orange glitter (I think it had some gold mixed in with it....hence the clear film canister it was in). Let me stress that a film canister is NOT a good little container to hold glitter!!! Yup, Yup! At some point....probably over ten years ago, when all of my stamping supplies were boxed up and just being moved around with me (yes, there was a point that I did not stamp for many years....thankfully, the packrat in me kept it all and now I'm loving my old supplies!)....oooo, I digress.......at some point, that canister EXPLODED inside the tub and I have had some concoction of orange glitter on Everything it touches for the last decade.

There are probably almost a dozen little jars missing from this tub, as every once in awhile, I brave opening it (even the outside of the tub still has glitter on it...after many attempts to remove it) and pull out a single jar to clean up and use. Well, no more. I am not letting that glitter get the best of me anymore! I'm done with it holding all of those other goodies hostage and I'm going in. Thankfully, I have Backup this time. Are you curious where my Backup came from? Hmmmmm??

My glitter defying Backup comes inside a happy bright green box and waits quietly in my hall closet until it is needed to come to my rescue. Backup rescues me often, in fact, not just from stubborn glitter, but from dust too! Have you guessed yet? Dust and glitter cling to Backup and keep me from sneezing and going a wee bit batty over orange glitter. Do you know now? Does Backup come to your rescue?? Yup, yup, Backup, aka Swiffer cloths clean glitter, even glitter that has stubbornly claimed a home and just won't move out! Its a wee bit time consumming, but I am determined to move that glitter out so that I can play with my goodies again (without turning the whole family a nice shade of sparkly orange) and with Backup, I think I will finally win!! :>:>
