A Pound Party??

Hello!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

My beautiful daughter is a sophomore 

this year and as their first fundraiser,

they are having a Pound Party!!

I had no idea what a pound party was,

even after it was first explained to me

I didn't get. Then I actually got a flyer from

the teacher about it and it finally clicked.

The whole idea is to UNIQUELY wrap

a package that weighs at least 1 pound, 

and has a value of at least $3 dollars.

Then they are auctioned off, based on what 

they look like and without know what's inside.

Interesting.

Perfect for a paper crafter!! :)

So I came up with 2 packages that I think

are awesome. The first one:

 A close up of the front:

 Close up of the lid:

Inside is a biscuit mix and a jar of apple butter.

I made the pattern for this after seeing one 

similar but much, much smaller!! I made this from

chipboard and then covered it with the paper.

The second package is a lot more simple, 

but I think it's a cute idea:

I used flat marbles to make this weigh up some.

Inside is purse type things;

hand cream, mints, chap stick, hand sanitizer, ect.

I've had the pattern for this purse for years, 

sorry but I can't even remember from where. 

However, it was small. The whole thing would have

fit on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. I enlarged to a 12x12

sheet so it would be large enough to hold everything.

I'm very excited about these projects!!

I can't wait to see if they are popular for bids!!

*LOL* Fingers crossed!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I hope that each of you have a wonderful,

love filled day!!

Until next time............................tootles!!
