Because (I Think) I Can

While I was attempting to clean out one of my drawers the other day, I came across money.  Lots of money.  Problem?  It was all in different currencies, none of them Canadian!

Still left over from my days as a Flight Attendant, 10 years later I finally decided it would be fun to have this “on show”.  So I dragged out some Mason Jars I bought this summer, the labels that came with them, some Chalkboard paint I found at Michael’s Craft Store, and got to work.  (Remember when I wrote the post about Mason Jars?  I quickly bought some afterwards, with every intention to make jam, I bought the strawberries and everything…. ya, never happened.  I found some other reasons for them instead – keep reading!)

Grab the Chalk….

and Ta-Da!

What do you think?  Pretty easy I tell ya!  And the kids were impressed! 

My other uses for my Mason Jars this summer:

Cutlery Holders/Water Glasses.  An easy and cheery way to set the picnic table for a casual dinner party.

Sugar Cube Storage.  I love this little jar for my sugar cubes.  Right by the tea (which I drink a lot of now, since I’ve been banned from caffeine by my doctor… wait.  Does that include chocolate?!  Woops.)

And I made a pin cushion!  This was inspired by one of the photos I posted on my Mason Jar post… very different from the photo, but I loved the concept, so I grabbed some odds and ends we had around here, and “whipped” this up!
