Birthday gifts

This year was my nephews 18th birthday and I wanted to do something special with the money I had planned to give him.  After viewing this adorable jar on Laura Vegas's blog I had a plan!

I found the pig (one of his 4H projects) earlier in the year and I picked up the empty jar at Target, my favorite store. And decided the money would do better at decorating the sides than any scrapbook paper I could use to cover it up!

And already I'm thinking of some other upcoming birthdays this will be perfect for!
