Too Many Or Can't Get Enough?

...Mason Jars.

I love a good mason jar project. I use them all the time for their original purpose - canning or for my homemade mango/pepper jelly. Get some here. http://etsy.me/1DczsRM

I use them for my toothbrushes.

And mason jars are great to make a quick salad dressing.  Add your ingredients and shake away.

I typically have many on hand. I could use them for drinkware if I run out of Red Solo Cups at a party. Yeah, right..cause we always buy a new pack - Just in Case. 

The chandelier is creative for your country home in Red Neck Town.

Or hang them in your trees at your fabulous Back Yard Bash

There are tons of cool projects - just Google or Pinterest it if you want to make some.  

But I'm not sure I can get behind the Mason Jar for Everything craze.
