  • Party Favors

    I designed these simple white bags with a red ribbon and accented them with black stickers I found at Michaels. I then had Ruth from Three Kids Party shop (Etsy) to design the adorable favor tags to match. Inside I added a little savory and a little sweet. Organic Apple Juice, Smart Puffs, cinammon covered Almonds, and a sweet little Rock Candy sucker for the parents ; )
