The newest craft

So some of my friends got married and Delaney mentioned she didn't have any vases so I made her some decorative vases out of old mason jars. At the same time I made myself some because I liked hers. I started out with painting the inside on the jar and. Then painting the outside and sanding a little off the outside to show the inside color. I also sprayed it with a glass sealer so it would shine. They look really nice. My husbands favorite is the blue and white one.
I wouldn't suggest anyone use real flowers and water in these vases. Just decorations. Like in the blue one I'm going I find red flowers or sticks for the fourth of July. The black an orange one can be used for October and thanksgiving. The yellow and black one I'm thinking for summer.
The pics are out of order. The yellow one has black inside and the blak one has orange on the inside.

eBay

Of late I haven been busy getting things on eBay. I have been selling my stuff and my mother in laws stamps in eBay to help us both out. We've done great so far. Because of this and work, kids, and getting ready for the fourth of July camping, I have not had much time to craft. I was able to sit down yesterday and get my new stamps and cards boxes out and organized so I can start making cards. I'm going to start on wedding cards. There r a lot of weddings lately.
I have also found a fun thing guna try and if it works I could possibly sell it. Old fashion crystal suckers. It takes seven days but if they taste great at the end it's worth it.
There won't really be anything going on for the next week and weeks. It's summer and we are so busy. I hope to post back soon.
