Patti,
What a great mix of projects and must say the mason jars are here to stay... Jars of any kind and whenever I empty one I have the hardest time parting ways. Which means I rarely do because I know at some point it could be recycled into a gift. You always have the neatest ideas and I love coming over to see what's up.
Hugs,
Carole
