my secret elf project is finished! for my munchkin gifts this year, i stuffed little jars of fun with artsy goodies. each jar has a healthy dose of the basics - crayons, scissors, glue, markers, pencil cases, and post-it notes - as well as little foo-foo packets of yarn, stickers, googly eyes, felt squares, envelopes, and maybe a little chocolate treat or two. i laughed when i finished the label - it looks like it came directly from the circus. now i regret that it doesn't say "jar O' fun".
it will be a marvel if these arrive before christmas. maybe i'll just put "happy new year" on the tag so it won't look like i got the idea and did it at the last minute, which is indeed the case.
now, this spent elf is ready for a glass of wine, a spin of the dreidel, and a quiet evening!

What a great idea! Who wouldn't love to receive one of these!! And, of course, your art work is just perfect! ~ Peggy
I swear, you have the best ideas Aimee. These should go over big. A wonderful holiday to you!
fabulous idea! i love the label--and it emboldened me to try a layer in photoshop to put words (which i couldn't otherwise get big enough) on a photo--thanks!
I love that idea! Can I borrow it for the next round of presents? Did you buy your jars somewhere? I can't imagine eating enough pretzels or whatever to get enough jars!
I would be ecstatic to receive this jar!! then or now! what fun!
Happy Hanukkah! May the lights shine brightly for you this year.
you are SO very clever ... i love those VERY much ....
All the wee munchkins will be loving the jars o' fun! SO sorry about your human splat with the kid. Can totally relate to that one! Dang!
These are DARLING! It must look like a candy store at your house right now! There's no doubt the little munchkins will be thrilled with their own personalized jars o'fun. I have to chime in with everyone else: You have the BEST ideas!

These look so much fun!!
my girls opened their jars o' fun last night, and the house just exploded with stuff everywhere... they had the time of their lives, though - cutting, gluing, glittering, making stuff that would have never entered my mind, as children so often do... but now i'm nervous that the parents of the other recipients are going to come after me ... what a mess...
Great idea, I would try to eat the stuff, it looks so very yummy:)
I am loving your blog. just found it through julia's blog. I mean wow! I am adding you to my blog roll this second! You rock!!
