Smoking Cessation For Dummies Kit.

So my Daddy-O and I struck a deal and sealed it with a handshake.  I would lose the last 30 pounds I need to attain my weight loss goal (I’ve already lost 50) and he would stop smoking once and for all.  And we will both accomplish our respective goals before the end of 2010.  Now, my dad has tried and failed to stop smoking MANY times, but this time I know he will actually DO it because we made a deal…..and we shook hands on it….and I know to my dad that means something.  But just to help him out a little bit I created this “smoking cessation for dummies kit.”  Maybe this will be his secret weapon?  ha ha

I used a super cute teal colored mini pompom trim from Inspiration Cottage on etsy (love that shop)

And here’s a shot of the lid.  There’s a lesson in this here lid….

The lesson is called “just let it go.”  See that stray pen mark on the right hand side?  I don’t have a circle cutter, okay?  Which means when I want a circle I have to use a saucer or coffee cup or something and trace it onto the paper.  Well, I traced it onto the wrong side of this paper, the actual side that I wanted to use instead of the back of it.  Argh.  And my hand slipped.  And it was the last scrap of this paper that I had.  So it was either use it with the stray pen mark or figure out a different paper to use.  Now, that stray pen mark was bugging me, okay…… but I just LET IT GO.  Dad isn’t going to care about that stupid pen mark.  And I know this little kit will be displayed in his man cave (garage) and it will get dirty and dusty and covered with who knows what, so it’s really not gonna matter in the long run.  So I let it go and as Ali Edwards would say, it is okay …….

Here’s a close-up shot of the label (I made the “bad” word smaller so my daughter wouldn’t notice so much)

Here’s a fabric flower I made for the lid just because I’ve had that strip of blue fabric in my jar of blue ribbons for literally years and I decided it was getting used today!  There are how-to videos and blog posts all over the internet on these flowers and now I know why…. because they are really cute and so easy to make!

And here is what I put INSIDE the kit:

I got a lot of these ideas from the internet by just googling “smoking cessation kit” or something like that. 

So…..what do you all think?
