You know that little
happy excited feeling you get when you stumble upon a blog that you ABSOLUTELY Love because You could Relate, be Inspired, have your self-esteem Raised through the roof while walking away with tears of laughter and joy?
Nuff said..
………….Meet your New BFF…………
I am the momma with a hubby who changes poopy diapers.
I am the momma who crawls into the crib with her one year old as a last ditch effort to get him to sleep.
I am the momma who recently revealed her biggest, most personal secret –on her blog.
I am the momma who sometimes super sizes a McDonald’s value meal to overcome a tough day.
I am the momma who confronted her anonymous blog commenter.
I am the momma who’s little guy is growing up way too fast.
I am the momma who makes lists for everything,
who has cheerios stuck to her bum most days,
who looks hideous in skinny jeans,
who eats peanut butter on a spoon with whipped cream,
who worries that she’s never doing enough,
who wears sweatpants way more than her hubby would prefer,
who listened to every middle of the night breath of her newborn,
who is on a continual quest to find patience,
who sprints through crafts during nap time,
and who loves her little family to infinity and beyond.
I am Little Miss Momma.
And this is my little family.
And today I am crazy excited to be hanging out for the day with Keren’s fabulous readers {that’s you}!
I think Keren is incredible and super talented, ya know!
Today I am going to share the
world’s easiest Valentines Day project:
These fun little jars make adorable V-Day gifts for friends, “lovers”, teachers, co-workers, neighbors, whoever. And you can fill them with ANYTHING!
Red hots, love notes, hot tamales, candy kisses, paper hearts, etc.
Here’s what you need to make these cuties:
Canning jar for jam {it’s smaller than other canning jars}
Cupcake liners with a cute design
Candy or Love Notes
Ribbon
First, fill your jar with yummy and cute candy.
Now, take apart your canning jar lid {it should have 2 pieces}.
Put the middle of the lid on the jar opening.
Place one of the cupcake liners over the middle of the lid, and press the
sides of the paper down around the jar.
sides of the paper down around the jar.
Screw on the outside of the lid. Your cupcake liner should be hanging
ever-so-adorably down the edge of the lid.
ever-so-adorably down the edge of the lid.
Now pick some ribbon and embellish your jar with a little bow.
And that’s all there is to it!
And if you’re still feeling crafty, stop by my blog

Update: Woah.. it has been almost 11 years that this post was published and as I am redoing my website and revamping older posts to meet new website requirements so many emotions ran through me as I came across this particular post. We were both so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as we both started and this new blogging journey we had no idea where it would take us.
Constantly thinking and praying for the Stock Famly… #starsforstevie

Hello Ashley,
My name is Paula. I have spent a greater part of the afternoon reading your Sisterhood of Secrets blog and have been deeply touched by the many stories from our fellow sisters. I can so relate to the hurts and struggles for as with so many, I too have had my fare share. I would like to invite you to stop by my blog some time … I write my struggles out through poetry and verse. I have found this form to be quite healing for me personally. Many of my readers have found my words to be of great comfort also.
Wishing you a blessed and blissful day ….
So cute!! I just adore Ashley – she is so wonderful!

I {Heart} LMM! Love this tutorial, simple and adorable. Thanks for sharing Ashley!
Such a cute little craft! I really like how the cupcake liner has pretty little pleats all along the edge of the jar. So nice and neat. I think my kids would love to make this for their teacher!
Adorable and simple gift!!

Love LMM's blog and her new Sisterhood of Secrets blog too. Cute V-day idea for the girls at work.
fun! my daughter and i just made some of these for her class! they turned out SO cute!
I just found this post via the Crafty Crow, I love this!! I love using canning and mason jars for projects and the use of a cupcake liner takes this to a whole new level. Love it.
I love this & found it via Crafty Crow also. I think I'm going to have my religious education kids make it for their parents.
I just wanted to than you for the valentine candy jar idea. I have 12 co workers; so I have to be frugal. This is perfect. Jil
