my love for mason jars
If you've been on Shutterbean before, you might notice that I like to drink out of mason jars.
My best friend got me hooked when I lived up in Oregon!! There's just something about the weight & thickness of a jar that makes me like it. I also know that out of a room full of cups, I can easily spot mine. A few of my jars have the ounces labeled on the side! It's pretty handy when I need to measure out a drink, or account for how many oz. of water I drank! A huge plus when I can put a lid on one and take it on the go!
I think its funny that people find it weird to drink out of jars. I often get "you're drinking out of a jar!" As if I didn't know....
This little delicate little jar/votive ceramic piece has found it's home in our living room.
It's a little birthday gift from a good friend. Isn't it pretty? I can't wait to see it lit up with a candle inside!
She knows how much I love mason jars! I wish I could have a dozen of these!
You see what it's sitting on? The first issue of 3191 quarterly. It arrived two days ago!
I absolutely adore the work of Stephanie & Mav!
Happy Birthday to me!
Our Easter 2010
Hope you had a wonderful Easter! I hosted a very small/simple get together with my parents and one of my brothers last night. We drank a lot of wine and ate tons of food!
Come take a look!

Christmas Decorations, 2009 style
Here's our Christmas tree this year-
We put it up in our little "sitting room" area.
new obsession: terrariums!
I've been wanting to make some for awhile. I've seen TONS and TONS of images of them on the 'net. I made today "MAKE A TERRARIUM" day. Why did I wait so long to do so?
I found a nice lil tutorial over here at designsponge. It's awesome! I had no idea how easy it was to do.
It took a trip to Home Depot, a stop at IKEA for jar and a trip to Salvation Army to get another container.
Took me about an hour or so to complete all three of them. I got kinda overboard and made another one while Cooper napped.
Take a look!
Birthday Celebration continued…
I had a birthday celebration for Casey & his sister on Saturday to celebrate their birthdays.
Here is a peak of the table!
I wrapped Lauren's present first, and it became the inspiration for the table decoration.
before i take it all down
here's a brief glimpse of our Christmas decorations this year....
I am going to be sad when I take it all down!
