OH Strawberries!

Jam is the word today.  Strawberry Jam that is.  I made two delicious batches. I love this time a year when the fruit comes into season.  

This is me making the first batch.  Its hot in here. Can you see the steam coming from all the pans.

Well two down and three to go.  My kids were getting worried, we only had four smaller jars left.  Now they can rest easy I will make lots more.

Mason Jar Pencil holder teachers end of year gift

I needed to make something for three of my kids teachers. They needed a thankyou for all the hard work this year.  My kids have accually been in the same class for a entire year.  We usually start in one school but end in another.  

This mason jar pencil holder is just so easy to make that I couldn't resist.

Mason Jar Bathroom organizer

From the scrap wood of my bottle cap flag project I made this Mason jar bathroom organizer.

at first I left the wood natural.  However, I didn't like it so I stained it with grey.  It looks much better.

The jars I got at Micheal in case anyone wanted to know.
