my love for mason jars

love

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!

happy birthday to me!

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!

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!

new obsession: terrariums!

on display!

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.

happy happy birthday
