happy family :: cookie jar contest

I was recently invited to participate in a friendly design competition for the Happy Family company. The competition is between myself and three other talented bloggers. We were asked to design cookie jars for our little ones and one of their friends. We were all sent a package including two plain cookie jars and a couple of bags of Happy Family's newest product, Happy Tot Best Friends toddler cookies.  In addition to being allowed to use anything I already owned, I was also given a gift card to shop for additional decor, fabric and/or food to make the display complete.

My design process started with a memory. I remember having a best friends necklace when I was a child with one of my neighborhood playmates. The ones where two friends each get a half of a heart necklace bearing the words "Best Friends". Since this competition related to best friends and cookies, I thought why not use the same idea! I made a faux cookie (out of cork and mini chocolate chips), split it in half and used each half on the cookie jars. And, what pairs well with cookies? Well, milk, of course! So that got me thinking... "we go together like milk and cookies". Perfect!

My girls are the best of friends - What makes a better best friend than a sister!? Here are my little ones enjoying their new cookie jars and yummy cookies! And mom loves that the cookies are organic!

The other bloggers participating need no introduction - they are amazingly talented and I'm honored to be included in such great company - but just in case you don't know one of them, here is the list.
