 Busy ME.....I finished the pine cone trees the last one took forever because it was so big but I just LOVE how these turned out it was worht every minute I spent on them.
 I'm also making a few more for another place but these are made out of tissue paper rossets....super easy and adorable AND FREE :) I have not gotten very far on these but when I get bored I work on it. These might not be used till next year for decorations.
I've been wanting to make these for a while. It's baby food jars and I'm recycling them for spice jars. The labels I bought a while ago on clearance at Target for under a dollar...a whole roll of them. The tops are painted with chalkboard paint.
I'm going to store them in a drawer and because I can write on the lids I can open the drawer and see exactly what spice it is. I think though I would recommend just doing a label on the lid instead of chalkboard paint. Maybe spray paint the lids and then do a label it would look neater but the chalk is fun too!!

I also finished painting all the doors downstairs and all the trim work in the foyer and kitchen...yay me!!! Neal still has to finish up the window and molding way up high in the foyer but he may not get to it for a while. I'm again taking a little break from painting till after the new year so I'm sure I will be pretty annoyed with the messy walls until then since I did not tape when I was painting the trim work it looks a mess but I can overlook it and after all being a mom ALWAYS comes first :)

We have a busy day planed ahead hope everyone is having a good week so far!
