mason jars and barnwood

      A couple of months ago, my sister Elissa got their old barn pulled down. I was greedy (as I sometimes am) and asked for some pieces of barn wood. Of course I asked with good intentions of doing something wonderful with it, but instead the wood sat in our garage for quite some time. Just recently I stumbled across this picture and spontaneously decided to try something like it. It was easy to figure out, and because Dad helped me with all the manly stuff (like drilling) my lovely project was finished quickly.

      Here is the end result-- with some summery yellow flowers from our garden.
