Winter In A Jar and Kitchen Update

I am back with a super fun craft for the kiddos! I have seen this mason jar craft for a while in blog land and wanted to try it myself. I had all the materials for the craft and was just waiting for an open night with the girls to put it all together. I love the way it turned out and it is so versatile that you can come up with so many ways to decorate with it.
Here is the finished project.




 Sorry for the crooked snowman. Emma just had to shake the jar! And then Asher had to!

This was so simple to assemble. All you need are jars, fake snow and trees, and Styrofoam balls for the snowman. Emma loved putting her little snowman together.


We ended up using toothpicks to hold our snowman together because the glue just wasn't working.


Next came the snow in the jar. We glued the snowman to the lid and then put the lid on.


Turn it over and this is what you get. So much fun and so cheap. We made some more winter jars with our trees. And as we were doing our craft, Allison decided that we needed to hear her rendition of what it is like being a snowman. So this is her singing at the top of her lungs! I might add that Allison had to wear a lovely evening dress for her song :)



Our kitchen is almost complete! We still have to tile the floors and back splash, install the pantry, and paint. We are so close! Dustin just installed the microwave tonight.


I am lovin' it! Feeling so blessed to be able to have an updated kitchen. Thank you Lord!
