Mason Jar Dispensers

Good morning all,
Before I traveled to the frozen North, I had some crafting time.  I love Mason Jars.  You can do so much with them.  Well, this time around, I created a dispenser.  You can use these as soap or lotion. 

All you need is a mason jar (you can purchase at Hobby Lobby), a dispenser (I got mine from my favorite store, Lowe's), and a drill.

Drill a hole that is the same size as the dispenser right in center of lid.
I use epoxy to glue the dispenser in place.

Ta-Da! It's done.  What a simple, yet fun project! I love it.  I gave one to my mother-in-law who loves gardening and canning.  She also loves birds, so I added something special.  Wire bird nests hanging from it with twine.  It is so cute in her kitchen.

I can make these for you as well, if you are interested! Price is $15 and I do accept paypal. 

Much love,
Brie

She always has and always will be my inspiration

Greetings everyone from the frozen tundra.

I first wanted to apologize for my slow blog.  The past two weeks have been, well, tough.  On Friday January 6th, I lost the greatest inspiration of my life.  My grandmother, Lorraine, went to heaven.  On Saturday January 7th, my grandfather followed her in what could be taken as one of the greatest love stories ever written. 

Needless to say, I am in North Dakota now for a few more days...... So sorry no art has been done lately.

My grandma is the one who I gave me my little bit of art talent that I have.  I have decided that my next venture will be in the art of rosemaling. (google it).

I may have to paint a couple doves as well.  :)

I MISS YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.  It's just not the same.  I want to thank them for all the love and memories that I will have forever.  Thank you.
