cranberry cocktail mixer

It's past 2 p.m. on a Sunday and I've only just changed out of my pajamas and brushed my teeth. But I did find time to play with scissors and markers ... I blame this super cute idea for do-it-yourself holiday cocktail mixers.  As my printer was out of commission, I decided to make my own decorative labels for the cranberry cocktail mixer, which I'm planning to include as part of a secret santa gift later this week.

Can you believe these jars used to hold tomato sauce?
