Canning Jar Decorating and a {giveaway}.

So some of you might have seen that I am having my 1st giveaway of the new year (actually my 1st ever).  See here if you did not and to enter.

So here is what I have done with a few of them. Our homeschooling room (aka my dinning room) has a buffet that we use the top for our "immediate daily school supplies". I like to try to keep it as neat as possible and always am looking for ways to use the supplies in decoration type ways. Here is what I came up with this week for use of some of those old Ball Canning jars that i scored from Freecycle.




Nice and colorful. The jars cleaned up real nice and I love the the fact that they are glass tops!  

Don't forget to enter the giveaway!

That looks neat. Love the canning jars.

Thanks for commenting with the party ideas. I'd already been scouring Dollar Tree for ideas. They're a great source of raw materials. :)

What theme are you going to go with for the 4 year old's party?

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
