I was walking down the aisle at Michaels one day and I saw this package:
I know jars are a popular item and I immediately thought about turning it into a mini-album about cooking or family recipes. This is what I came up with:
There are pages inside so you can add pictures and special stories about those treasured family cooking memories.
I thought this sentiment worked with the theme.
I was pleased with how the embellishments came out on the front. I was even more pleased when someone bought it!
Because I liked the way it turned out, I traced the shapes on cardboard so I could make another one. It’s in my “to be made” pile. LOL
Ever been walking down the aisles of Michaels and find something you weren’t expecting? Have any special family recipes you’d like a mini-album for? Come back tomorrow for “K” and go visit the A to Z family.

Did you ever make wedding cakes out of towels in your crafting? I made them for my kids at their showers. They were fun. I made felt mice and birds dressed in wedding attire for toppers.

Sounds so cute! I have never made those. My daughter made a diaper cake for a baby shower recently and it came out really nice.

That’s a good idea. It could be made in the wedding colors. I’ll have to add that to my to be made list!

Yes it does. I really had to be careful while I was working there and I’ve made a goal for myself to use some of these things I already have before buying more. Novel concept huh?
