She's Crafty: Stash Jar

I admit, I am a fan of the current stache craze. Something about people acting silly & putting fancy mustaches on makes me smile. So I couldn't resist buying a set of stache vinyl shapes at a local craft store when they went on sale last month. I wasn't sure what I would exactly use them for, but that didn't bother me.

Lo and behold...Father's Day gave me the perfect opportunity to use them. I came up with the idea of making stache (stash) jars for the favorite guys in my life.

For my husband, I bought him three flavors of licorice and put each in a plastic jar with a stache on the front.

For my Father-in-law, I decided to give him a dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies in a jar. My children call him "Papa", so I used my Silhouette to cut out the words "Papa's Emergency" to put right above a picture of a {mus}stache.

After all was done, I was very happy with the results. Easy to make, fun to look at, and something I know they will both enjoy!

Fun Fact Friday: The b(r)est prevention

Breastfeeding is a natural prevention against breast cancer. 

The results of a study released by the University of Geneva shows that The longer women breastfeed the more they are protected against breast cancer.

Did you know that breastfeeding reduces the chances of not just the mother, but also the baby of developing breast cancer?

For the Mother, the risk can be reduced as much as 59% and 25% for the baby. 

How awesome is that?
