I mean seriously, friends, Mason jars are all the rage these days. From home decor to wedding centerpieces to light fixtures to stationery to housewares, any one of us is just one little DIY project away from a Mason jar miracle. Check it:
Oh the paper crafting possibilities! Speaking of which, here are three moxie fab examples from the column itself:
Canning Jar Recipe Book by Betsy Veldman, p. 31
Moxie Fab Alert: Betsy's project seamlessly bleands bot the shape and purpose of canning jars in this fun and cute recipe book for tasty jams and jellies.
Captured My Heart Card by Julie Campbell, p. 32
Moxie Fab Alert: Julie's approach to the canning jar trend is simple, sweet, and straight from the heart.
Shabby Chic Jar by Melissa Phillips, p. 32
Moxie Fab Alert: Leave it to Melissa Phillips to create a home decor project involving an actual jar, which is at the very heart of the trend itself.
To see two additional projects from the column, turn to pages 30 and 31.

Love the canning jars, always use mine for flower arranging, especially my peonys. Barb
Thanks for the fun challenge!!!!
Such a FUN challenge!! I used jars at my wedding for center pieces in Oct. 2005!! I filled them with lavender and cream flower popturi and then found these awesome lavender vintage glass insulators to place onto the jars upside down and added candles to the insulator centers and placed them on navy bandanas that had mirrors on them!! I LOVED the way it looked and always SMILE when I see jars!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
what a fun challenge, and as always the eye candy provided is almost *OVERWHELMINGLY* inspiring!!! ♥
Such a fun challenge! Thanks so much for all the great inspiration and motivation!
