I loved the smells and the special canning tongs, and the popping of the lids when they sealed
-WHEN SOMEONE GIVES YOU JARS TAKE THEM!!!!
Here are some reasons why-
-------------------For a Picnic--------------------------------
If you are going on a picnic, fill jars with lemonade or tea 1 inch less then jar..and add some cut lemons.
*place upright in freezer for at least an hour.
-Just as your about to leave take the jars out of the freezer , have cloth napkins ready (you should anyway --it's a picnic!--- wrap the jars with the napkins and place in picnic basket . This also keep your food cold , when you get there its perfect .

| Why not buy some beach sand, or save some from the beach, and make this swell votive | 
Try goodwill/ garage sales are usually the best/ save then up , have a party us the heck out of them if they break .....who cares you have a case more----plus drinking out of plastic is gross!!!!

| perfect for kids birthday partys | 
Perfect setting, for a wedding, kids party, anniversary 
-Romantic, lovely and fun
Another really neat thing to do is ,  every time you go on vacation, take a mason jar, unless your on an airplane a plastic bag - that can later be placed in a jar.
You can save shells , beach sand, rocks, beach glass, it will be like a time capsule from your trip.
I save all cool shaped glass jars with lids - 
They are also great for  crackers, open candy.
Its so much cooler to see jars full of pancake mix and not the boxes.
And it will stay fresh longer! !! B-O-N-U-S!!!!!!!
