An Apron-in-a-Can

...at least it's not an apron on-a-stick (refer to every other post to understand THAT comment, though I have another 'stick' idea I'll be trying out sometime in the next month or so).

My co-worker, and friend Heather has a summer birthday. I made this apron for her awhile ago. We both wear a lot of brown and black, and so I knew she'd be OK with a brown birthday theme. I decided to jazz up her delivery with this can. I saved this tin from a Sprinkles cupcake mix b/c I thought it was a great size. I decorated the can using some scrapbook supplies. It was my intention to fill it with cookies to go WITH the apron, but then I found a cupcake I wanted to try I thought she and her family could enjoy (more on that in a day or two)....they were brown, don't worry, I stuck with my brown theme ALL the way through, but they wouldn't have slid down too nicely in this can. I had to use the can NOW though because I had to, it's a clause in my birth certificate, ask my MOM....go ahead, ask her! (She'll agree b/c it's easier to agree than not to....but still, she'll agree.)
....SO, I realized I could slip Heather's apron down inside this can.

Then I packaged up the cupcakes separately.
The end, until I post about the cupcakes...I know, I know....warn you next time I have something so exciting to share on my blog so you can pop popcorn before you begin the reading....look, I like the can, OK? It wanted it's own post.
