Anniversary Gift

So I decided to make a date jar for my anniversary for my man. As we so often like so many couples cannot decide what to do but at the same time want to do something. So I saw the idea of a date jar on Pinterest and decided to look up more information after looking at a few blogs I began to compile a list of date ideas. Looked up how to dye wooden popsicle sticks, and created the rest.

First I complied a list of ideas from a few blogs, 2 craft 4 my skirt, Life in the Green House, House Girl Haley, and Girl Power Hour. Once I read their list of date ideas I started to compile my own. Here is the finished result:
