You Go Girl...You ROCK in a Jar! A Craft for Yourself!

So I'm feeling kind of UGGH the other day...just one of them days, you know?  And I'm checking out Pinterest and I find something from Eighteen25 called You Rock Jars.  I knew what I had to do next to get myself out of the dumps!

And there you go!  An instant pick-me-upper whenever I look over at my You Rock! Jar.  I just love, love this craft and hope you can find a use for it also.  You know as teachers, sometimes we don't get "enough" praise for all our dedication and commitment to our kids, so all teachers need a You Rock Jar!  These would be ideal for tween girls especially; you can write anything you want on the rocks.  You could use the words, "awesome", "faith", "beautiful", any word would work!

And did you notice the Bling clothespins I used?  If you can remember, I LOVE bling.  If it has bling, I love it!  So I wanted to share with you something I bought yesterday for my computer...

Isn't it just awesome?  Whoever heard of a Bling keyboard?  When I saw it, I knew it was mine.  I got it at Hobby Lobby if you have one of those stores near you.  OMGosh, I just love my new bling keyboard.  What kind of things do you do to "pick yourself up"?  What do you do to boost your self esteem when you're feeling blue?  I'd love to hear; maybe I could try your suggestions also!

Have a Wonderful Day,

Tutorial Thursday: Fireworks Jar

With the Fourth of July right around the corner, I've been waiting for my Garyn to ask the question I get every year...
"Mom, can we do fireworks this year?"  

Um, no.  I. am. scared. of. fireworks.

They just seem so darn dangerous and I really don't want my fingers blown off, or his for that matter.  We've done sparklers before, but that's about all I'll even try.

So, I'm checking out Pinterest the other day and I see this rockin' tutorial from The Gold Jellybean about the following craft.  I decided after making these, that this craft would be perfect for our "fireworks" this holiday.  Add these jars to sparklers, and we'll be all set!

I forgot to add that this is not something I'd let the kids make themselves, unless they were older, due to the chemicals involved.  But, if you hot glue the lid down, they will have a blast playing with these Fireworks in a Jar!
