Let's talk a little about Aaron. He's a really sweet guy. Sweet in a sarcastic, private kind of way. He likes his privacy and I would even go as far as to call him a homebody going on hermit. This being the case, he's pretty content to do what we usually do: make dinner, watch our TV shows, get ice cream and shnuggle. I, on the other hand, need new activities and as long as I make the plan, Aaron's usually pretty good to participate (e.g., garage saling, frolfing, float trips, tennis, Rag Tag). But since I'm the plan maker, sometimes I need a little inspiration. So, when I came across this little pin, I knew I had my next craft on my hands.
As you can see, this was crafted from an old pickle jar, thoroughly cleaned, painted with acrylic paint and coated with a high gloss spray. Then, I painted the popsicle sticks according to their category and labeled each stick with the activity and the estimated cost. Speaking of sweet, Aaron bought me my label-maker...kid knows me well.
