Photos in Mason Jars!


You can put just about anything in Mason Jars...so I thought how about some photos I love?!
It's basically using a mason jar instead of a photo frame :)

Here's what you need:
photos
mason jars w/ lids
doilies

that's it!

I printed out 3 of my fav photos in sepia to give them an antique look.
Grabbed some mason jars & lids I had on hand.
Slid the photos in front & stuffed a few doilies behind to fill up the jars & add to the antiqueness {is that even a word?? haha}.
Then screw on your lids. {I got these sweet lids at a local craft boutique}
And you're done!



i printed one of our family photos to look like stamps. i like how it turned out :)

my fav photo of my little dude :)

me & my little dude


they are just hanging out on our little dining room table :)


Here are some others I have done....





What I love about this:
You can switch the photos out whenever you want.
Fill the jars with whatever you want. Photos, keepsakes, anything really.

P.S. Today is the LAST DAY to sign up for the Handmade Gift Swap!!!!!!!!
Sign up HERE. It will be so much fun!

To Do List



I don't know about you, but I LOVE making lists!
I'm weird, I know. There's just something about crossing off or checking off something you've accomplished. It makes me happy :)
I'm definitely more right brained...but with some things I am a lefty.
...
I love to organize. I love to do laundry. I love to grocery shop. And like I said, I love to make lists!
-------------------------

How I made my "things to do" list...
Got a 5X7 frame from Dollar Tree
Spray painted it Blue Ocean Breeze
Glued some yellow lace on top
Glued a red flower cab in the corner
Glued some magnets on the back corners
Stuck it on my fridge :)
Easy peasy!

-------------------------

I found some awesome "To Do Lists" free printables for ya'll from my favorite, Pinterest!
Enjoy & get making those lists!

Have you ever heard of Craftaholics Anonymous? If not, go check it out! My cute friend Linda (we played kick butt tennis together in High School) is the amazing lady behind the lovely blog.
You can find everything from fun craft tutorials to craft room ideas on her blog.
One of my blogs I have to check out every day :)

She was kind enough to host a handmade gift exchange.
Here is what I made for my partner...

1st side:
"EAT CRAFT SLEEP" (isn't it the truth?? haha)
2nd side:
"CREATE"

and i thought rosette shoe clips would be fun for the summer :)
you can clip them on shoes, flats, heels or even in your hair!


my partner sent me this darling baby photo book she made, LOVE it!!
i just had a new little boy & can't wait to fill this with his cute pictures :)


isn't it so fun?
i love all the cute details.

and the cute little socks, love it!

Linda will be hosting another handmade gift exchange in November.
so remember to follow her blog & join in on the fun.

thanks Linda!
