The Love Jar.



I had so much fun working with an empty mason jar, and I think you will too.
I created The Love Jar. In this jar, both my husband and I add little love notes and some positive, inspiring messages to each other. Once our daughter is old enough, I would love for her to participate.
I absolutely love it when I can make someone's day, whether it be with a kind word or two, a hug, or even a smile. So I'm hoping that as you are reading this, I've at least made you smile! :)


Materials needed:

Empty mason jar
yarn
glue gun
washi tape
paint brush
Any decorative piece you would like to add to your jar, 
paper
scissors.
chalkboard paint



Start off by applying some chalkboard paint on top of the mason jar lid. I applied about 5 coats. Allow it to dry overnight.

 Next, apply washi tape around the bottom of the lid. Now that the lid is all done, you're ready to start the next step.

Using your yarn, wrap it around the mason jar. I applied a few strands. I also used my glue gun to apply the glue and yarn so that it would stay in place.

After going around the jar several times with the yarn, your glass should be completely covered.
After that step is done, feel free to apply one of your decorative pieces to the jar.- Flower, picture, stamp, jewels, etc. You're all done!

Okay, so the last and final step would be to use chalk and write on the lid of your jar. Cut a few strands of paper and get to writing your positive, inspiring love notes!
 Love and be loved.~

  3. Awe, I love this idea! One year for VDay I found an old cedar box at an antique store and filled it with little notes of things I love about my hubby. I like that this is a daily thing that can be added too. And super cute for the whole fam! Thanks for sharing!

  14. What a sweet idea! I have kept all of the post-it love notes that have made appearances throughout our marriage. Kindnesses like that make lasting memories.

  15. That's such a lovely idea. My husband and I don't have a lot of time most days to just talk so this would be a sweet way to add in that extra bit of communication.

  16. This is a lovely idea. Especially for couples who don't have as much time as they'd like to sit and chat. Great way to sneak in that extra bit of communication!

Two good scents- Review & giveaway

 (Review and giveaway)- Two Good Scents  Sugar Scrubs These days I'm feeling very pregnant. So when the chance comes along to pamper myself, I'm definitely up for it. We can all use some pampering from time to time. :) I was contacted by Nancy over at http://www.twogoodscents.com/. She kindly offered to send me some of her products in exchange for a fair review of the items I get. No other compensation was provided for this review.  I received my products in a padded envelope stuffed with decorative tissue paper.  The containers were well-padded to protect the plastic containers.  After opening up the package, I took out the sealed jars, which had a professional look along with cute labels.  I opened each of them, one at a time.  My initial reactions were to the scents of the scrubs.  My personal favorite was the blossom scrub, which was reminiscent of a nice, clean, soft, flowery soap bar.  The others I received w...
