Cookie Jar Crayons

Bringing a child into the house is the greatest act of hope there is.”

In an effort to make life feel normal after surgery, I went shopping at Walmart today. Mom and I took the girls and a very short list. We ended up spending 2 hours in the store. I’m not sure how we do that.

I picked up supplies for a Valentine’s Day decoration. I’ll make that tomorrow and post pictures and instructions. I hope it comes out cute!

I also picked up ingredients for some Valentine’s Day cookies. It’s my small group’s turn to bring food to our MOPS meeting on Friday. I’m taking cookies and some yummy little cheesecakes. I’ll share pictures and recipes of those later this week.

Finally, I got this cute cookie jar. I saw a blog this weekend that had a piece of furniture-about dresser size-with no drawers, just shelves. She had a basket for each of her kids on the shelves with their name on their basket. On top of the unit was a jar of crayons. In an effort to continue to get this house more organized, our crayons are now nestled in a cookie I have no idea who’s blog it was, so if you have a clue about this photo, please let me know and I’ll give credit for the idea.

Now the crayons are all together and cute sitting on the kitchen counter. I love the bright colors. Crayons make me happy.
