Make Your own Snowglobe

In a recent magazine, they showed one of these and oh my goodness....well, if you saw it, you know what I'm talking about!  The Basement Babes were here in November (yeah, I'm a bit behind in my blogging) and we made our own version of snowglobes made out of baby food jars (and other jars!)  They came out wonderful!!!

It was quite a test to find things that won't dissolve in water.  This one is adorable - has more on top than inside!  But then, we tend to "break the rules" around here!

I love, love, love this one!  Sorry, but I can't remember who made which one.  If you can identify yours, just post here!

This made for a little boy and has watch parts floating in the water inside.  Who says it has to be just snowflakes???

So much creative thought went into each one of these....

I think this was a jam jar....

Can't you tell that when we get together to play, we just have a blast?

and we tend to cosume the entire length of my dining/living room/converted to studio.  It's a great place to play.  Why?  It's 2 steps from the kitchen!  LOL!

This was our annual white elephant craft gift exchange and I have to say....it was the most fun ever.  I'm still working on getting everyone to understand that "white elephant" is something that you don't want.....we had a few items that were something everyone wanted!  Which makes the stealing and taking back and forth so much fun!

We had such a good time, that we have already decided to repeat this exact same project next November.  We have a full year to find jars and things to put inside and outside.  Won't it be a blast to compare how much our styles have changed in the upcoming year?  I can hardly wait!!!
