Mason Jar Memories

































Capturing memories in mason jars... how fun is this? Thinking my idea for photos in mason jars was just genius, I decided to Google to see if this genius idea was already thought up by someone else. It was! Okay so I may not be as original as I thought! Too funny! But as my sweet husband told me, "it was still your idea... until you found out it was someone elses." Thanks for not re-bursting my bubble honey!
I found these turquoise mason jars at an antique store and I just fell in love! I have been wanting to redo my downstairs bathroom with a mason jar theme for quite awhile now. Though the bathroom is not yet started my inspiration has my imagination soaring. I decided to go with a beachy theme to my photos, being that I am a California girl living in the mountains. Needless to say... missing the ocean. So with out much further ado enjoy!
 All prints are 4x6.
I just can't wait until I begin working on the bathroom!



I am linking up to these parties

  4. That idea is awesome! I love the way you added a "pop" of color in the black and white photos in the jars. I saw your post over at V.I.P. party.

  9. I love this idea - and even if I saw it elsewhere, I still enjoyed looking at your photo jars! I also have some blue ball jars and put one photo in a clear larger jar - but I like the black and white in the blue jars! Thanks for sharing

  39. Is there anything in the jar other than the picture and air? I have seen some people who fill the jar with vegetable or olive oil and then put the pic in, giving it a nice sepia look.

    ReplyDelete

  40. No there is nothing extra added into the Mason jar.

  43. I have made these with Baby-food jars, holding miniatures & lights. Have you ever tried cutting around the child's shape,then reinforcing it with poster board or a thin cardboard, for a 3-D effect? Then placing it inside. This would, also be cool with snow scenes, sledding, skating, etc. with snow in the jar.Great idea, Lovely job very creative.Makes a very memorable keepsake from a vacation!

  44. Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when
    opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

  46. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I
    would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

  47. I'm impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both
    educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit
    the nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough men
    and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this during my hunt for something relating
    to this.
