Spring Apothecary Jar With Lola
Meet Lola. My 3-year-old assistant. She’s by my side for almost every project I do. She doesn’t hold back the compliments when I come up with an idea she likes, and she doesn’t mind telling me about the things she doesn’t like, either. When she’s not helping me, she spends her days sculpting Play-Doh, playing Memory, watching Max & Ruby, eating peanut-butter & jelly sandwiches, hanging out with her brother & sisters, and whatever else that pops into her head. She has a super-colorful personality & would wear her cherry boots every day if I’d let her. And she loves Hobby Lobby almost as much as I do. Yes, I’m training her right.Today, she is my Guest Blogger. She’ll be showing you how to create a Spring Apothecary Jar Filler. (One more thing about Lola: she’s a talker. This might take a while.) Hi, everyone! I know many of you have those big glass jars that you can put stuff in. I like it best when my mom puts candy or cookies in ours, but she said we need to put some Spring things in there for now. The first thing you need to make this Spring jar is in the backyard. If you read my mom’s blog a lot, you know she likes to make a lot of things with sticks. You need to find a few sticks that look like they will fit into your jar.

lola, that is so beautiful. my granddaughter made one inside a bird cage, mysteriously, 2 eggs appeared in the nest. then later 2 baby birds "hatched" from the eggs! she likes to use floral garland and weave it around the outside of the birdcage. your jar is perfect for spring!
