The Perfect Jar: The Mason Jar

Mason jars have been my new favorite thing. They remind me of baking soda because their uses are endless! Lately I have been using them to drink out of and I swear they even make my water look fancy. Mason jars add a nice touch to everything with little effort. I was thinking about how many things me and my family have done with mason jars and I had to put them all together into one post. Many of these ideas are referenced on my sister's blog, Melissa's Greetings. She is much better about documenting all of the fabulous crafts that we do in ourspare time.

My brother in law even engineered his very own firefly lights and captured them in mason jars! Wisegeek.com has an article on more great uses for mason jars. I also loved this tip from simplyrecipes.com about how many, if not most, blenders can be used with a standard or wide-mouthed mason jar.

ScrappyTime Product Love: Uncooked

At only $3.25 each, you get a lot more than just a greeting from these cards by Uncooked. We just got them in and can't stop reading each and every one of them, they are hilarious so much fun! They are so funny that a few months ago MTV asked Uncooked to bring their humor to their channel and Uncooked created 11 animated image commercials that are just as clever as their cards. Each card comes in a clear cello sleeve with a bright colored envelope. We only feature 5 of our favorites here but stop by ScrappyTime.com to check out the rest.

{holiday - butter}

{thinking of you - watching}

{love - revenge}

{birthday - chicken}

{congrats - losers}
