Craftiness pt. one

I got a good idea from one of my friends to use glass jars as picture frames. It's a great way to reuse jars of pasta sauce, salsa, pickles, etc! So I've been saving those jars and put one in Mary's room. I also used a baby food jar to put her q-tips in :) Add a little ribbon and that is just plain cute!


I'm always up for ideas that help reuse products that would otherwise be thrown into a landfill! I'm also saving baby food jars for Amber! (actually I didn't really buy them before, so I'm getting them now and saving them. Kind of defeats the reduce part of reduce reuse and recycle) She's going to reuse the jars as candle holders in her wedding and cover them with corn husks. I know what you're thinking...but they're really cute. They will look something like this:

But she is going to use fall color carnations. So if you have any glass baby food jars (2s or 3s) save them and pass'em along!
