Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest

Our family is getting together next week, family from 3 states that don't get to see each other often enough. My mom decided we needed to have a watermelon seed spitting contest. My nephews will love this! I set out to make a regulation watermelon seed spitting mat and markers. I painted a 12"x11' shelf liner and marked every foot with my outlines alphabet. Then I made each person a name marker to place beside their seed. Accuracy is very important;)

This is also the gift for my aunt, the hostess, all packed up for her. She loves all things country and I think she will love this.

Off to see some fireworks tonight. Have a great weekend!

Hi Kara,
I just love all the creative ways you have used the Friendship Jar set. I didn't really think this set was for me at all, but after seeing you cards and projects I am starting to rethink!! =)I really like how you've combined the jar with so many other sets. Love your blog.
