Projects...

SO... Being a stay at home mom is fabulous. The only problem is it puts us on a tight budget. With Dax's birthday coming up, I decided to get creative. We just finished our first party decoration/favor. I think it came out great! Here it is step by step:

I started with an empty baby food jar and some fabric. I traced the lid onto the fabric, cut it out, and mod podged it on.(I love that stuff)

Next I printed a cute number one to go on top, and a small banner reading 'Happy Birthday Daxton' to glue along the side of the lid.


Finally I filled them with colorful goldfish crackers (since most of his friends are too small for candy) and skittles for the older people. I tied a ribbon around it and voila! Cute party favors. I couldn't have done it without Morgan! We debated on whether or not to put a character onto every jar (the theme is Sesame Street), but decided we just don't have the motivation!
