DIY Spring Mason Jars

Super easy DIY for spring. Great thing about making crafts yourself is you can pick any colors you want.

 

 

I started going with Mason Jars from Hobby Lobby. They're %50 off which made them 1 whole $. You're welcome! And then got some acrylic paint.

 

 

 

Acrylic paint is water based so be carefully about washing your hands, then immediately touching your jars. I learned the hard way.

 

 

 

My handsome assistant here kept himself entertained while I finished my project!

 

 

 

It took about 2 to 3 coats, which you can wait an hour or so in between. Then before sanding down, I let them dry over night. You want to sand all over, especially the rim and words. Makes it pop a little more.

 

 

 

 

Add some flowers from Hobby Lobby that are also %50 off and you're done.

 

Happy Easter and hello Spring!

Well it's all down hill from here. And I mean that in a good way. 5 more months and you'll be 1. Oh. My. Gosh!! Unbelievable mixed emotions. I've been a mommy for 7 months and it's the most rewarding, unselfish, amazingiest experience of my life. It takes a lot to be a Mommy. To care for a little human being that had no way of communicating other than crying. Now I know I'm doing things right when I get laughs, or a big smile first thing in the morning! My son is amazing! 

Weighing in at 18lbs 29" long. Working on our 2nd foods, eating food 3 times a day, we are officially CRAWLING!! And crawling all over mommy and daddy, pulling up on everything, sitting up, can go from our belly to sitting up then back down to our knees, walk from one side of the couch to the other, our first word was "da-da",  standing by ourselves for 5 seconds, had our first cold the 2nd week at daycare, we love cuddling all the time, we crawl across the living room, laughing, babbling, smiling all day everyday, and being the best baby in the world! 

You tug my heart strings big boy. I love you!
