Because I had nothing better to do...

Well, I have an endless list of things I want to 

get done, scrapbook, redo, clean, refinish, sew, cook, 

OH wait - I don't cook!! ha ha I just got carried away.  

Anyway, I have lots of things to do, 

but I got this crazy creative idea. 

You know like the kind of idea where 

the light bulb goes on over your head!!! 

I really mean it, if you were standing next to me 

you would have seen it for yourself!  

Okay, so I know you are dieing to know what the idea is, 

but a little back story first. he he he.  

I have been redoing the teeny tiny kitchen in my house 

for a while now (NO STILL NOT DONE).  

and I picked out these all red glass spice jars

for the glass shelf spice racks I installed a while back. 

Okay I am not a cook, so why do I care about the spices?

Well, I like things to look pretty. 

and this is what it looked like before

You can see why I felt the urge to make it better.

 but these jars were not on the need list 

or even high up on the want list

 mostly because they were gonna cost me a pretty penny 

and by that I mean like $100 for how many I needed. 

I know craaaazzzy. 

So, no I do not have them. but i do have paper........

so, this is what they look like now!!  

What do you think?

I just made labels and cut them out with a circle punch

then glued the paper and label on. 

finally, so that they don't get all nasty from cooking 

I wrapped clear contact paper around all of it.

I make the labels smaller for these little jars at the bottom

I had to buy about 12 red pepper seasonings to get all the red lids

and only 4 sheets of paper 

I used scrappy glue to make sure it stuck!

So, total cost about $16 

How awesome is that!!!

Lots of Love,
