A couple months ago my sister-in-law Shelly made a dinner conversation jar. I fell in love with it. The last couple days I have been in the mood for a project. I walked into Hobby Lobby the other day and YES! ribbon was 50% off. Let me tell ya, I stocked up! It was so fun buying a basket full of brightly colored ribbons. Kari was in town so I thought... perfect project for a Friday night! We had our minds set on each completing three...well 2am rolled around and we had just finished jar number 2... these things were a little more time consuming than I thought. We were happy with our finished products though. I still have many more to make... silly me...I updated my facebook status that I was working on a project...now everyone and their brother wants a jar. Looks like I have my work cut out for me. Since Kari will be back in TC, Shel, I need you to come over and make them with me. I can't stay up until 2am by myself :)
After all the questions were typed and printed, we had to cut them into strips.

Kari excited to have a few done... they are looking adorable
