Don’t want to…

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2011 . Filed under: Being Green, Random .

Sometimes I just don’t want to blog because negative energy is just oozing from my pours & I don’t want to poison my blog with it. That doesn’t mean that life hasn’t been great lately, because it has. But without my camera to capture the moments I want to blog about…I feel blah about blogging. Posts are useless without some eye candy.

My dad hoards containers, I mean I like keeping jars as much as the next gal. But I opened the cupboard above the fridge and there was a plethora of jars & containers.I mean, I can’t move without hearing clinking of glass & fearing that I’ll drop them all on my head. Then forever be known as that blogger that died from an avalanche of jars falling on her noggin. Lame way to die really.

I love that a majority of the containers I buy food in can be saved. But I need some crafts to do with some of these guys. Big plastic containers store art & coloring supplies for us. Glass jars are great for saving leftover & taking tea in your lunch bag. But there are so many you can use before going “Alright, what the heck can I do with these!?!”. HELP! What can I do with these things? Arts & crafts projects for children are welcomed! Anyways…..HELP!!

a few jars

    Plant a garden and start canning your own sauces and veggies? :)

    LOVE these ideas! And the veggies idea…well the woman I nanny for will trade me a tomato plant for some jars (she wants to organize her buttons in them). SCORE!

    And has anyone seen these @ Pottery Barn?
