the dishes, walking the dog, laundry, back rub, hour all to
herself.

what the voucher is for - she'll love it!)

Here are the directions for a lipstick holder.

You will need

pill bottles wide enough to hold lipstick - you could also use film
canisters
red felt
cardboard
sequins, lace to decorate with
Make sure pill bottles are clean and free of glue, labels and
residue. If your bottles are clear you can glue on sequins, lace
around the edge or decorate with permanent markers. If they
are coloured a colour you don't like you might try painting them
of covering them with construction paper or felt first.

Now cut a heart shape from cardboard. Cut the same shape
form red felt and glue to the cardboard heart. This is your
base. Glue lace around the edges of the heart. Now glue your
pill bottles down onto the base.
