So what do you do with all of those baby food jars anyway?

As many of you know, we had a baby a year ago.  Last April, she began eating baby food in earnest.  It wasn't long before she was consuming 2-3 jars a day. 

 

My 12 year old daughter asked me one day, "Mom, what can we do with all of these baby food jars?  There are so many of them and it seems like we ought to be able to use them for something."

 

Well, we ruled out the nuts and bolts thing, although it is a very handy idea for the garage.  We considered using them to sort beads and such.  Then my daughter struck upon a very creative idea.  She thought that she could make some cute little candles with them that could be used a baby shower favors or gifts for new moms.

 

She began washing jars, removing labels, designing new labels, melting down wax, adding various scents and color.  Several months later, you can now see and even benefit from the fruits of her labor - www.kqbusiness.com/babyscents.htm.

 

Do you have any new moms in your life?  Planning a baby shower any time soon?  You have got to check these out! - www.kqbusiness.com/babyscents.htm.  And yes, I am very proud of her indeed!
