Looking for a quick, inexpensive gift idea for the holidays? How about these sweet faux Mercury glass Mason jars... I've posted about the faux mercury glass technique before. I, myself, dug it up on Pinterest. Basically you need a can of Krylon's Looking Glass spray paint and a spray bottle with 50/50 water and vinegar mixture.

I popped into Ikea yesterday to scope out living room chairs. I left without the chairs, but look at all these holiday goodies I picked up. I had to stop myself from buying out the entire Christmas section of the store. Seriously, there is so much holiday cuteness there this year. I plan to use these on my dining room table.

I also picked up these peppermint candles. These will...
I'm busy working on projects for an upcoming craft fair. I don't want to bore anyone with 50,000 posts on Xmas pieces when it isn't even Halloween yet. Just letting you know, I'm still here. Creating, dreaming and prepping. Jeanine ...
