Remember when I snagged 22 wee jars at the thrift for $3? Well I did. And they've sat in my cra(p)ft room awaiting inspiration. I decided they needed some glitter. Right.
Just what I need for a happy advent countdown.
Made a sparkle banner to match.
I just used scrapbook letters, paper and ribbons I had.
Decorated the jars with paper, ribbon, stamped and glittered tags.
. Filled them with crystal sugar and a gummy snowman and Christmas tree.
By happy accident, I had these wee glass bulbs that look adorable on top.
I'm pretty happy with it for using what I had.
Gotta have a token sepia pic in every post. Almost.
Oh yeah, the boys promptly decided how to get the gummies out:
I'm almost done with Christmas crafting.
I have a couple ideas for ornaments, but they might not happen.
I've still got my porch to festify and cookies to bake guys!

All your projects are amazing this year. Please stop before I get a serious case of overload and keel over. My family will just nod n say; "see ,knew blogging was gonna kill 'er." (Couldn't be all the cooking, cleaning, critters, n chores now could it?!) Okay, when I'm not green w/envy at your talents (covet your stockings) I'm jazzed up w/inspiration, so THANK YOU!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Leslie
ps- we have a candy cane advent n family activity list but often fall behind even on those!
What a great idea. This is so pretty. I am really enjoying your blog this afternoon. Your posts are very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove this one...I made an advent calendar tree this year with paper funnels. Ugh, but I so love your jar idea...I have tons of baby food jars from my 8 month old and think I will give this a try....Thanks so much!
