Today I am helping out with an Easter Egg Hunt for little ones and I needed to do a couple of "fun and busy" ideas to keep them from getting into trouble…is this an old classic or what!!! How many jelly beans in the jar?!?!

Classic are always the best…and what is anymore  classic than a good old "Mason Jar" – all I did was jazz it up a bit using some Stampin' Up goodies!!! I think it is fun and fresh and really showcases the jelly beans!

You can see how little touches and literally 5 minutes made this plain jar go from "boring to WOW"!!! I used the 3" Die circle for the top of the jar and do you remember this fun paper??? It is from the Howlstooth and Scaringbone Designer Paper (from the holiday catalog)! See…it is not just for Halloween…right!!!

Around the jars lid I used the simple Natural Trim Ribbon that is featured int he Spring Catalog, super easy to work with and I love the natural,soft and classic touch it gives! Around the rim of the jar – I tied a simple piece of Very Vanilla Seam Binding ribbon ( again – super simple to work with) and then threaded a big button – put a couple of pieces of a very thin sheer Calypso Coral ribbon – knotted it – done!! BAM – that's it…..and how cute!!! I took scissors and curled the ribbon just like you would do the tails for a balloon! Doesn't this bring a smile to your face!

I love what I do and I hope that it shows through my blogging! I would have never imagined than less than a year ago that I have been able to grow so much through the wonderful exposure of Stampin' Up! I am a true hobbiest and became a demonstrator to "support my habit" and to be a part of Mary Fish's Pals group! I do work full time and I love the "cyber friends" that I have made through the PALS!!!!

Do you realize that over 80% of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators are hobbiest like myself!

Tomorrow is a special day for 2 reasons….1st – it is EASTER and then it is the LAST DAY that you can get $156.50 worth of YOUR CHOICE of Stampin' Up! products for just $99.00! It is as easy as that!

Please click here and put in the subject line – WHAT'S IN YOUR KIT! and I will share with you the kit I put together for the "new kid on the block" that wants to get some great basic products! Why wouldn't you take advantage of this? Who doesn't like free extras!

YOU can get a great grouping of basics and then if you wish to be done with Stampin' Up! – that is your choice – no worries what so ever….as their motto of being able to do things "Your Way" is truly the heart of their mission!

I truly thought I was going to sign up – get my kit…take advantage of a HUGE discount on my 1st order and then BE DONE! Confession….I just couldn't do it….as once I saw all of the benefits and resources that are available at my fingertips in being a PAL….I knew that the energy, positiveness and sheer joy I receive from being involved with Mary Fish and her PALS was the best decision I ever made!

I would love for YOU to be on this fun ride with me! Shoot me an email and I would love to share with you the in's and out's!!! I love your comments and I love helping you reach your goals! Until tomorrow……
