I’ve heard rumors that it’s back-to-school season. In fact, I know of some people whose kids have been back to school for weeks … So sad! My kids still have a few weeks left. Chicago public schools aren’t in session until the Tuesday after Labor Day. Which gives me plenty of time to […]
Nautical Mason Jars
I miss the beach. Sure, Lake Michigan is just a few short miles from my home. And that lake is ocean-like. But it’s not the same at the Atlantic coast … … and the Jersey shore. Sure, people make fun of my beloved home state. And MTV has forever saturized the image of the […]

Gold Leaf Mason Jars
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!

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 […]

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 […]
