Easter/Spring Care Package

March 1, 2013

For Easter, I created Jeff a care package that had some of his favorite things, plus a couple of fun things.

I covered the inside of the box with pastel wrapping paper and put Easter basket grass in the bottom.

 I got a colorful slinky to attach to the box. I added a note that said, "Spring on home to us." I also attached a note to a box of Samoa Girl Scout Cookies that said, "I need Samoa you!"  

 I figured out how Pintrest worked and found a neat idea using a deck of cards.  I called it 52 Things I Love and Miss About You.  Carson got a kick out of some of them.

I also included scripture on some slips of paper and put them inside of plastic eggs. This was a fun package to put together.

Valentine's Day Care Package

January 25, 2013

For Valentine's Day, I decided to put together a care package for Jeff. The big boys and I decided to cut out hearts and decorate the box. Carter helped me decorate. I put a pink and mauve sheet of paper to cover the bottom of the box.

  I wrote Bible verses on slips of colored paper. Each verse is about love or marriage in some way.

I attached each verse onto an treat to place in the box (Sixlets, UK mints, cappuccino  chap stick, mixed nuts, sweethearts, and even a Rocky movie pack). We topped the box off with Valentine's cards, and then I placed a sheet of red scrapbook paper on top before taping it up.

Christmas Care Package

January 25, 2013

So I just scheduled a post about the Valentine's care package we made for Jeff and realized I never scheduled a post about the Christmas care package.  I know that by the time you read this, it will be May, but I wanted to share it anyway.

To start, I covered the bottom of the box with a green piece of paper. I used Charlie Brown Christmas wrapping paper to cover the sides and flaps.

 My mom had bought the boys a Shrinky Dink Christmas tree, so we created this little masterpiece so that Jeff would have his own Christmas tree while he was away.

 We filled the box with lots of goodies: the Christmas tree, hot chocolate, coffee, Chex Mix, apple cider mix, a fire place scene DVD, oatmeal, a coffee mug, and more.

It was fun putting this together. Jeff really enjoyed it too.
