D.I.Y. Pink Canning Jar

I am sure you have all seen and loved those canning jars with the paint inside of them.... I found a canning jar for .50¢ and thought I'd give it a try.... I am in love! *please note* It is not quite dry or I'd have some flowers in it!

 Now I know from past experience that when you paint on glass it will run down the sides until you have only a thin splotchy layer of paint on the glass. I originally was going to make some think chalk paint, but then I spied this in my garage and decided to try it.

Oh my goodness. I love Fixall even better than mixing in plaster of paris! It made the paint nice and thick, almost a thin clay like mixture that spread really well and was thick enough to stay put! I painted this last night and it still hasn't cured completely-- that is the only down side I see so far. Other than that I have no complaints.

Today I have spent all morning in my backyard and decided to share some pink that I have in my yard. If you don't know it already, I have a pirate themed backyard~ Here is a crate of pink dishes. My girlfriend is going to have a fit when she sees them in my yard as she has the same set and is wanting mine for additional pieces. *wink*

 Some pink flowers in a fabulous silver vase...
Some teeny tiny pink roses on this clock...

 Lastly, some colorful rocks in a bucket. When I see rocks at yard sales, I always buy them. I toss them around my yard and my two small grand kids "find" them... they are always so surprised at the fabulous rocks in Nana's yard. *wink*

I have joined in all the pink fun over at Beverly's Pink Saturday.
big hugs,
