Mason jars and Garden Markers


Happy Tuesday ! Last week my daughter and I ran into the Good Will and bought some Mason Jars..We used 2 colors of acrylic paint and 1 sample paint from Lowes to paint the inside of the jars. We added ribbon and twine to the rm of the jars .. I placed mine on a pedestal platter on my kitchen table. We put water in them for the flowers and the paint seems ok. I think they turned out really cute :)  We already stocked up on more jars for future projects !

 I also made some row markers for my garden. I got the little fences and hearts at Hobby Lobby, ( they are really cheap, and already painted:) ) , my son drilled holes in the top of the hearts for the ribbon to go through. I used a paint marker to put the different vegetable names on.

 I tied the markers to the garden fence with twine.
 I planted our garden last week , we had temperatures in the 80' s .. I had to cover everything in the garden Saturday and Sunday night because of frost. Everything seems ok and hopefully thats the last of that cold weather !! We planted potatoes, both in the ground and in 2 big pots.Spinach, Tomatoes, green beans , zucchini , cucumbers, peppers , eggplant and some herbs ( basil, parsley , cilantro ). Hope this is a good year for the garden :) The strawberries are blooming like crazy .. Can't wait for those !
Hope all you Moms were spoiled by your children on MOther's day , I sure was and am very proud and appreciative of all my Kids !

Hope you all have a great week!
