♥ Valentine Jars ♥

As you can tell...we haven't had anything exciting going on the past couple weeks. We've been busy, but it hasn't been that exciting. I have been taking some classes for training hours at Weber State, babysitting, looking after a lost dog (who was returned to his family--very sweet story actually)working, doing family activities, making 275 sugar cookies, and dealing with a very sick little girl! She has some sort of Viral thing. She has had a temperature around 103.9 for 5 days. There isn't anything they can do, but let it run it's course. We are just watching her fluids to be sure that she doesn't dehydrate. She hasn't been very happy though that is for sure! Along with the craziness, we have been putting together Valentine's for everyone's classes. (Approximately 100 between everyone.) Which brings me to the reason I started this post...

BABY FOOD JAR VALENTINE GIFTS!!

Another one of those recycled projects. :) I love to use baby food jars for little containers. I thought I would jazz these ones up, and fill them with heart shaped candy. They make fun little valentine's. Really easy to make too. I just traced the lid of the baby food jar on pattern paper. I used craft bond spray, to glue the paper to the lid. I filed the remanding paper off with a nail file. Then I glued the ribbon around the lid. I washed and cleaned the baby food jar, (I cleaned the lid too-- before I began) then filled them with candy. Sometimes when I wash the jar, the paper label would stick, or leave that sticky residue. I used my heating gun to melt the rest of the sticky off, it also took the printed date ink off. I think they turned out pretty fun. :)
