Painted Jars for Tealights

These are not nearly "perfect" because I let my kids paint them, which was both a great craft project, and sweet way for them to welcome a new baby that was born to friends of ours a month ago. I'm still learning to let go when it comes to crafting.

Assemble art mats (to protect your surface), empty and clean baby food jars, other large jars, and paints.

Paint them.

Take pictures without getting paint on your camera. This part is tricky.

Once they dried, I popped in some battery-operated tea lights to test them out.

Lovely. And they go with my color-scheme for the baby shower!

You can see my attempt for an ombre jar in the back.

I've also spray painted baby food jars to create gold vases, that was a more professional look, but less kid-involved. Plus I turned baby food jars into kid sippers for a birthday party.

Giveaway! Back to School Labels and More from Stuck on You

Did you realize that it's the end of July and school is starting in just 1 short month?

I know, slightly taken aback as well, so when Stuck on You contacted me and offered me any products in their line to try, i jumped at that chance. That was, until I realized that my daughter (entering 1st grade) didn't actually need any school supplies labeled and her clothes don't need them either:( I've been waiting and waiting for the chance to iron in all the labels, like my mom used ot do when I went to summer camp, or put little tiny labels on each and every pencil, but her school has shared supplies, so no school labels for her.

Thankfully, we are lucky enough to have a few friends who could use some awesome personalized things, who knew that Stuck on You also made placemats and water bottles and all sorts of awesome stuff?

I picked up this adorable placemat for a friend's new baby,

then this water bottle for a fairy-loving-5-year-old, who is entering kindergarten this year.

Both totally amazing, and make up for the fact that I don't get to go all OCD-label-loving on my daughter:)

But, here's your chance, *you* can go label-crazy, since Stuck on You is offering two (TWO!) of my readers a $25 credit for anything on their site. Just fill in the rafflecopter below, and I'll pick a winner next week when I'm back from Haven. So you have plenty of time to enter and get your other back-to-school friends to enter too!
