Hi, I'm Ink and I love glass jars.
Who knew that all those glass jars Dad never threw out could be
used in like a million awesome ways other than storing manageable
portions of condiments?
And I also love chalkboard paint.
. OMG something that can allow me to write on just about anything! Beware all surfaces in my personal space! To do lists for every room, here I come!
Here are just some of the awesome ways both can be used.

From really pretty ways to serve dessert

To a very cute way to pack prezzies (or, you know, pack your own stuff, or the stuff you were supposed to buy as prezzies but decided you liked them foryourself).
And chalkboard paint!

And scrawl my to do lists and random ideas just about everywhere.
But I get ahead of myself.
My first modest experiment with chalkboard paint:
A bunch of old jam jars lying around the house.
Mac's can of chalkboard paint.
Some old newspapers.
The pesky duo: Dog and Baby running around the house.
The result:
4 glass jars with lids ready for the scrawling on; one of which had to be re-painted.
One Baby who spent a good 20 minutes having paint rubbed off her palm with baby oil. Yes, Mac, that's your baby for you.
And a curious Dog circling the lids drying on the porch.
To figure out next - how to actually write/draw anything on such a small space!
