2012

Well, how-dee-do! How are YOU? Long time, no see. It's been awhile. I've been running myself ragged, as I'm sure most of you have this past week. With Christmas, school being out, New Years, family in town, weddings to decorate, and LOTS and LOTS of vinyl lettering orders... there's been no time left for blogging. I decided that I needed to at least  post once more before the 2011 year ends. So, of course what else would I post about except New Year's party ideas! Here are some SUPER cute ideas that I've found to share with you...

One of my FAVORITES is this one from

There's nothing better than pink, purple, and polka dots! :)

*Popcorn Tin Noise Maker*

Did you buy a popcorn tin this year for Christmas?

You know, the ones that have the 3 varieties of popcorn! If your family is like ours, your popcorn was gone Christmas Eve night! Don't throw it away... I've got something for you!

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

bling, always! :)

mod podge your scrapbook paper to

 the outside of your popcorn tin

Print off a fun saying onto

 the scrapbook paper

I added some bling!

spray paint your lid to match :)

...and that's it!

Now, your kids will have something besides on old pot to

bang on to bring in the New Year!

total time spent: 30 minutes

total money spent: none :)

JUST A SIDE NOTE:

Really... if you wanted to make this project SUPER easy,

you wouldn't even need to do anything! It's fun enough just to

make the NOISE!
