My friend Cassie at Primitive & Proper is a master of painted furniture. So it should be no surprise when she turned her furniture painting talents to mason jars, they turned out fabulous! Though, technically, this isn’t a paint treatment. She did use gold leaf, after all …. and effect she has used […]
Patriotic Popcorn
Some may say that red, white, and blue colored food is unappetizing. And you know what I say to those naysayers? I say, “but have you seen this red, white, and blue candy coated popcorn?” and … “how could you resist not popping a few of those colorful kernels into your mouth!” […]
Shirley Temple
Shirley Temple and I go way back. All the way back to the good ship lollipop …. She was my all time favorite. I just loved watching her old movies on a Saturday morning with my dad (he, too, was a sucker for old movies). When we went out to an actual restaurant for […]
Cherry Limeade
When I spotted this copycat Sonic cherry limeade recipe at Lil’ Luna, I knew I had to share it here. It seemed like a perfect concoction to enjoy on a sunny summer day. I also knew I would have to fess up to a truth. You see, I’ve never been to Sonic. So I […]
Chocolate Smoothie
Can you guess my favorite part of this chocolate almond smoothie? I’ll give you a hint. It starts with an “s” and ends with a “y.” Yep. The whole skinny part is what interests me. You see, I’m on a diet. Again. Though this time it seems to be working. As long as […]
Ice Coffee
What does is say about me that I prefer my tea hot, and my coffee cold? Iced cold … It probably says that I’m not a southern girl (which I’m not). But this iced coffee that I’m offering up here today isn’t your run of the mill coffee over ice. Nope. This here iced […]
Stars & Stripes Lanterns
When I saw these red, white, and blue mason jars, I clunked my head … and then I fell off my chair. I mean, how genius is this take on the American flag mason jar design? So simple to add a few dots and stars so that these amazing jars can be lit […]
Patriotic Candle Holders
Is it just me, or are mason jars becoming a Fourth of July celebration staple? Just take a look at Pinterest and you’ll find a ton of red, white, and blue mason jar craft ideas … I shouldn’t be surprised by this turn of events.. Mason jars are American invented and American made, after […]
Leather Mason Jar Hanger
Would you believe that’s a pickle jar hanging up there? That’s right. An upcycled … or recycled … or repurposed … pickle jar. A very stylish one, at that. It’s enough to make me want to eat my way through that jar of Vlasic Dill Spears sitting in my fridge. […]
Strawberry Pineapple Drink
Wasn’t it so nice to finally enjoy some nice, warm weather this past weekend? I even pulled out my beach chair and caught some rays in the back yard. And let me tell you, it was hot in the sun. Very hot. A heat that would’ve been nice to break up with a super cool […]

The Fourth of July is right around the corner, so I’ve pulled together some fabulous red, white, and blue mason jar ideas using mason jars for you! I know, I know, you can thank me later … you know, after your Fourth of July barbecue guests ooh and aah over your creativity and ingenuity, […]
Vacation Memory Jar
This post brought to you by FrogTape Brand Painter’s Tape. All opinions are 100% mine. If you told me I could only pick one vacation destination that I could visit for the rest of my life, I would pick the beach. Hands down. I’m a beach girl through-and-through. I grew up with sand between […]
Mirrored Mason Jar
I was so excited when I spotted Amy’s mirrored mason jar craft, especially since she used blue – and green – mason jars for her project! And while I do like the look of the clear, somehow the blue and the green jars just make this project pop. You can’t help but stand back […]
Mason Jar Gift Card Holder
I’m going to make a confession here today. And it’s a shocker. But here goes … I give gift cards. That’s right. This crafty blogger doesn’t give crafty gifts. {holds head in shame} I take the easy way out. Because, well, it’s easy. But this mason jar gift card holder idea […]
Homemade Makeup Remover
Sometimes this blog is about crafts you can make with mason jars. And sometimes it’s about things you can make and then store in your mason jars … because mason jars are, after all, made for storage! I was minding my own business, puttering around Pinterest the other day when this homemade makeup […]
Teacher Gift & Printable
Sometimes it feels like my kids are the only ones still attending school in June. My Facebook news feed is filled with pictures of graduation and proms and last days of school picnics … and yet my kids are still have final exams. Sigh. It also means I’m still thinking about end-of-year […]
Mason Jar Luminaries
Happy Memorial Day! In celebration of this day that represents so much more than a day off of work, I thought I’d share one of my favorite red, white, and blue mason jar projects. Ever. Starlight luminaries. These jars just make me smile. I love the use of colors. I love the stars. […]
Union Jack Flag
I thought I shared this Union Jack flag mason jar here months ago. But I didn’t … and now I’m scratching my head wondering why not? Perhaps I thought I’d wait until we were closer to the red, white, & blue celebration season. You know, the summer trifecta. Kicking off tomorrow with Memorial […]
Red, White, Blue Mason Jars
I think we’re all feeling a little red, white, and blue this weekend. You know … in case you haven’t heard … it is Memorial Day weekend after all! The unofficial kick-off of summer. And barbecue season. And, of course, to pay tribute to those who so valiantly fought – and sacrificed their lives […]

So if you, like me, are now scrambling for a year-end teacher gift, here are some clever teacher gift ideas using mason […]
Teacher Gift: Cookie Mix
I love the idea of cookie mix in a mason jar, but have always been worried about getting the mix of ingredients right. Especially when using a pint-sized mason jar. I mean, a bit too much flour or not enough chocolate chips could have disastrous results …. Thankfully my friend Marty at Marty’s Musings […]
Teacher Gift: Pencil Holder
I haven’t been in a classroom for quite some time. Well, as a student that is … But I’m pretty sure the number 2 pencil still rules. The number 2 pencil is still the testing go-to. I’ve sharpened enough for my kids … So what teacher wouldn’t appreciate a stylish number 2 […]
Teacher Gift & Printable
Do you remember your favorite teacher? The one who actually made you look forward to school? The one who made you feel like a star? Yeah, me too. And chances are, you were probably her favorite too. Even though she (or he) really wasn’t suppose to pick favorites. Wouldn’t you love to go […]
Teacher Gift Idea
Teacher’s gifts don’t have to be complicated. I think that we parents (especially us moms) tend to overthink things … I mean, what teacher wouldn’t love to get a special note of appreciation. Tied to a jar filled with gumballs? And to make this even easier for us over-thinking moms, there’s even a […]
