Soooo, Pinterest.  I avoided jumping on the bandwagon for a while.  I don't know why.  It may have been because I knew I'd be completely addicted, living and breathing Pinterest.  That's how I am.  I find something new and jump all in.  It can become all consuming.  That happens a lot when I start a new book.  I do my day to day stuff, all the while thinking about the book that's beckoning me.  I'm a bit of a nerd that way.  

It all started with a sugar shaker.  I was at a friends house making coffee and asked for some sugar.  She pulled out this adorable sugar shaker made with a mason jar, salt pour spout, and some scrapbook paper.  When I asked where she got it, she said, "Pinterest!  You have to check it out!"  Later that night I received an invitation to join Pinterest... and the rest is history. 

Today I added this to my blog: 

If you haven't done this on your blog and you want to, click here for instructions.  It's EASY!  Usually I call my friend Amanda for help, but I decided to try it myself first before I bugged her.  Success!  

Here's where it all began for me:

Mason Jar Sugar Shaker

Supplies: 

• Mason Jar (either half pint or pint size)
• Empty salt container
• Utility knife
• Mason jar ring
• Optional: scrapbook paper & glue stick

Directions for making the sugar shaker: 

1. Take an empty cardboard salt container and cut off the entire round top piece, including sides (fits a wide mouth canning jar)
2. Fill the jar with sugar
3. Place cardboard lid on top of mason jar
4. Screw on mason jar ring

Viola!  

Optional: (after step #1) Cut a piece of scrapbook paper to fit on the cardboard lid.  Glue to top of cardboard lid. Allow to dry before moving on to step #3.
