Christmas MasonJar Candles

Happy Day before Friday! I am so glad you stopped in to visit me today! How has your week been going? Ours has been busy, busy, busy, with Thanksgiving coming, getting five families organized, who's cooking what and when, is always fun! Then Saturday, it started with only the Rose convention, and then we were invited to go see 'The Peanuts' movie, and my daughter's class is going to Disneyland in March, so early in the morning they are having a rummage sale to raise money, and she can bring baked goods! So guess who is baking for that. Luckily, my daughters said they would help me, and tonight my daughter is having a fun school event, a young entrepreneurs get together kind of like Shark Tank. Her team came up with this idea, kind of like a cozy for coffee, but this thing can be heated or cooled up to keep your drinks at the desired temperature, in cute animal shapes like a baby squid and crab. They do look really cute! I'll get a photo tonight on IG!

Today, I have a really quick and fun DIY for Christmas, since it's just around the corner, what dare I say just another 35 days until then, there is something magical about the glow of candle light, that I decided to make with Mason Jars and candles.

Right now Michael's is having another amazing sale with 60% Off Christmas decorations. I bought 3 Christmas picks, you could also use, small glass or plastic ornaments, 3 Mason Jars ($1.99 each), and Christmas ribbon. I also found these Mason Jar tea light inserts at Target, they were $4 for 3. I already have a mountain of tea lights!

First I picked the Christmas elements off the pick and filled the Mason Jar with them.

Then I hot glued the ribbon around the lids.

Before putting on the lids, I inserted the tea light insert, and candle. Followed by the lid.

And that's it. Super easy and fun! I finished it all in less than 20 minutes.

Hope you enjoy making these as much as I did!

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Until next time! xo,

Follow Friday #16: Spread the Love of Inspiring

@mscraftberrybush

Happy Friday friends! Today when Katelyn woke up, she said "I am happy it's Friday!" I don't know about you, but me too! I hope you had a great week! Today, I am so excited to see my oldest daughter who is visiting from Washington state on Spring break. Tomorrow, I am taking Katelyn and a few of her friends to a skate park, for her birthday, and tomorrow night there is a salsa festival, that we missed last year I want to go to! Should be a fun and busy weekend!

I wait all week for this day! Friday Follow's are one of my favorite post, because I hope it helps you to find new and inspiring blogs to follow! Thanks to Pinterest and Instagram their Inspiration gave me so many ideas, with too many being my favorites, that I would really love to share them all with you. I just don't want to take up all of your time, so here are a couple to spread the love and inspiration!

This week, I wanted to try something a little different, than just share, I want this to be more interactive and fun! For this week, I want to hear from you...I want to know who inspires you.
Here's the plan:
1. Post a comment, tagging an individual (or individuals) who inspired you this past week.
2. Visit and follow at least one of those mentioned. A comment is always nice...:)
3. Spread the love of inspiring others by reposting this photo and asking your friends to do the same as above (kindly provide photo credit to @mscraftberrybush).
Let's see how much love and inspiration we can spread together.

Faded Charm Cottage

It's hard to find something I like best out of this photo and the many more like this one on her blog! Her charm is anything but faded! I almost scooped up an enamel colander last week! Think I'll go back and see if it's still there!

At Home In Love

I am finding one style that makes my heart happy, is a colorful one! One DIY I want to *cough* ~~try and make~~ is a tufted headboard! The pretty bright blue one caught my eye, as did the title of her blog!

In honor of my daughter visiting from Washington, here are two of her DIY State Pride Artwork!

Follow Friday #11 : Denim and Spring

Happy Friday friends! I hope you had a great week! It's been sunny and warm here in AZ! My roses and tulips are blooming. My shrubs are coming back to life. Spring is definitely hinting, that it is on it's way! What I have been working on this week: My husband did bring me a belt sander, and I did start sanding my accent table. Let's see how much I get done this weekend! I'll have a sneak peek sometime of that project! He also is getting the top ready for Katelyn's dresser, I just need to go pick out the legs for the bottom! Who ever said some things take time wasn't kidding!
