"If our devotion is to the cause of humanity, we will be quickly defeated and broken-hearted, since we will often be confronted with a great deal of ingratitude from other people. But if we are motivated by our love for God, no amount of ingratitude will be able to hinder us from serving one another."

Repurposed Jars

Our family loves Classico Spaghetti sauce.  I love the jars.  After using the sauce, I soak the jars over night in soapy water.  The label peels off easily in one chunk.  To get rid of the adhesive remnants, I spray with a vinegar and water solution and by using a scouring pad, I can get it completely clean.  I use these jars for flowers and to keep sugar, dried cranberries, almonds, homemade taco mix, dog treats and even as candle holders.

I spray painted a few of the lids white and black.  I've never purchased a canning jar for decoration, why would I?  Simple and free re-purposed item.
