Date Night Jar

I was in a rather crafty mood earlier this week, so I clicked over to my I Could Make That Pinterest board for some inspiration.  I decided to make the date jar idea that's been going around lately.

I modified this a bit to fit my needs by using construction paper instead of popsicle sticks (simply because that's what I had around). I also didn't have the right colors so I used white, yellow/orange, and blue.

I wrote at home/free dates on white, costs a bit of money/takes some planning on yellow and orange, and costs the most money/takes a lot of planning on blue.

Although I love the jar I might move the dates into a cute box, just because they'll be easier to pick from when we need them.

This project cost me $0 and it took me about an hour.  I'm really excited to use this in the future.  My husband and I are entering a season of busyness and frugalness, and being intentional about our dates will be a huge blessing.  We've enjoyed a lot of spontaneous dates in the past where money wasn't much of an issue, but there's a certain joy that comes with being the broke young couple. :-)

P.S. Don't forget to enter the giveaway! There's only a few entries so far!
