MrBeans turned the big '3-0' this month, and although he said he didn't want to do anything special, I knew that it wouldn't be a very special birthday if it went uncelebrated. So I threw him a surprise birthday party at one of his favorite restaurants!
Maybe this isn't very crafty, but I really enjoyed "creating" the favors for his party. At www.jonessoda.com you can customize bottles of soda with your uploaded pictures. I borrowed a couple of toddler pictures from his mom and ordered two cases of soda. I was nervous about the quality of the scanned images, but they came out perfectly! Everyone at the party raved. I picked root beer and berry lemonade, which is now my favorite because it reminds me of eating blue freezer pops as a kid! Although shipping was a little high (hey, none of the bottles broke!), these were totally worth the memories and mementos that they created!
