a hodge podge post

Here's the jars that I got finished on Tuesday.

I've gotten a few questions about how I am doing

these.  I am using mason canning jars because thats

what I already had.

My granny sends me green beans, and I

have been saving the jars.

You can also use pickle jars, salsa jars,

anything glass. O.k. You must use

Acrylic Paint. I used dollar store foam

brushes and only one coat.

Dries Super fast.

I tried using a Sharpie to draw the

faces but that didn't work to well

for me. So I painted on the faces

with Emma's little paint brush.

Much better.

And then Spray on a Clear Glaze.

(spray paint aisle)

*I've seen others do this project

by covering the jars with Modge Podge and

then with tissue paper. Which would

be cheaper.

Moving on...

'Part' of the reason for the lack

of posts lately is because my camera

broke! I knew it was coming.

It was old.

Mark got me a new one.

Nothing fancy.

Point and shoot.

Same as before.

Small - works best for me.

Because as I have told you before

 I literally take pictures every.day.

I carry it with me.

That's me early in the morning

without makeup.

Here's what was happening

right behind me:

Let's see what else could I pack into this post.

Emma had silly sock day this week.

I got pretty cute.

I think.

She wanted me to hurry, because

her ride was waiting.

(I will probably be using that sentence

again in about 10 years.)

Silly.

Alright.

I gotta hit the grocery store today.

Have a great day friends!
