great idea dadummy, you can put the dry ingredients in them for different baked good mixes too, just make sure that you add the directions on how to finish it, LOL.

Hey Da, without reading the second page to this yet....I sure have thought about that. in fact my mom has numerous mason jars because she cans jams and stuff and has many left over so i told her i'd like them this season. I have material that's red/cream checkered and then i have off colored muslin that i'll use to decorate and i have tons of ribbon too. I also found the joy of fabric markers and stencils, it's really a lot of fun and my sister and I can do that stuff together. it's a good way to bond!

those make great gifts good. I got a gift once i was so impressed with. It was 'gourmet' hot chocolate powder in a huge mason jar. it was decorated really nicely and all you had to do was add water or milk. I kept it at work and used to for a while til it was gone. If i do use the mixes i'll be sure to include directions Smile lol

I think that would be a great project for you and your sister, don't forget about all of us here when you do your jars, especially if you do hot chocolate, LOL.

My daughter and I did this same thing just Christmas past. We were strapped really bad for cash and could not come up with money for gifts. In the past we use to give her $50 to do her own Christmas shopping for Grandma,s and pa's aunts and uncles. We found this way of making our own was not only fun but much more appreciated than those 2 dollar trinkets. We have been collecting different types of jars since last year to use this year and even using scrap paper from cards and gifts, fancy store bags and whatever else we can use to put the directions on.
