Halloween apothecary jar

Here are my Halloween jars.

I filled these with black and orange peanut butter candy. (candy corn would be just as cute)
I got the rocks from my front yard....Don't tell my husband. he he he
Then I painted them with chalk board paint. Boo of course is in chalk.
Then covered them in spiderwebs and spiders.

This project was fun and easy!

Dollar store apothecary jars.

I have seen around blog land these cute apothecary jars and I wanted some for myself. They were so easy and very cute! So here's what I did...
  1. Pick out your candle sticks and vases.
  2. Remove stickers.
  3. Sand the bottom of your vase and the rim of the candle stick.
  4. Wipe clean. Remove dirt or sand that is left in the candle stick or on bottom of vase.
  5. glue the rim of the candle stick and place on vase. (vase is upside down at this point until dry) I used E-6000 glue that I picked up at a local craft store. Let sit overnight and ta da your done!
  6. Didn't I say easy?
  7. Now just decorate. Holloween is a fun time to get crazy with them....Spiders, eyeballs, candy, etc.... whatere you can dream up. I'll post some fun ways to decorate them in my next post.

First you pick out your vases and your candle sticks.
This is what they will look like when they are done. (minus the stickers.....)

I said queen of procrastination right?

 LOL......Ok let's try this again. What have I done? What am I working on? Who would know I have not posted a thing. At the moment I am working on filling up D.I. with the crap in my house we call clutter. I can't stand it anymore! One trip down more to go.....
 I am going to take on the world of  Board and Batten I love love love it!  I'm going to start small but I am going to start.......:)    Let's fail awsome, Kate

I have a million ideas in my head.

So I have a million ideas in my head that I never seem to do anything with. I am the queen of procrastination! So my purpose for this blog is to try and finish some projects I have started and experience some new things I have not tried (like zumba, sailing, zip line....etc). I would like to take on some projects that seem to scare me a bit and just try them. Even if I fail or they are not perfect lets give it a go (I hate to fail)..... We will see how far I really get with this. (fingers crossed)
