Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #214


Messy Messy Fail - Still eating too many of those Utz Cotton Tails, perhaps I should buy stock.......

Tidy Victory - I was supposed to make this last year, but then it never occurred.  Three fresh loaves of Polish placek bread - yum to the max!  For those of you that don't know, it's a sweet bread typically made for Easter.  It's very crumby and crumbly, but oh so delicious. Here's the Pin or the link to the blog post if you'd like to try making it yourself, a little bit of work but TOTALLY worth it!

Welcome back to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party

Happy Easter to those that celebrate. And to those that don't, I wish you a stress-free Sunday. I am so excited to be picking the features for you this month. I forgot how hard it is! So many amazing posts are shared with us every week. With Earth Day coming up in a few weeks I decided to go with a reduce, reduce, recycle theme today by focusing on some creative ways to use jars and bottles, including actually using them for canning food. :) Check out our features, stop by and say hi to the hostesses and, of course, share your homemade posts with us. -Audrey from ThatRecipe

   

On with this week's features!

  

 How Not to Decoupage Plastic Bottles with Napkins from the Boondocks Blog had my nodding my head in sympathy. So many projects seem so simple in my head and then turn into a grand ordeal. They sure came out pretty though.


  




Oh yeah, the dreaded bag of rice (or popcorn) that always ends up spilling all over the counter. The Apple Street Cottage has a pretty and easy solution with this easy upcycling project.

  



These Map Mason Jar Banks from Pillar Box Blue are the perfect way to save up that loose change for travel. And I am definitely not going to toss my old rims that are getting a bit too rusty for food usage. 

 




These Buffalo Check Plaid Jars from Fresh Vintage by Lisa just scream spring to me. Yes, I know you can use any color scheme for any season. 

  




Hey crafting bloggers, did you know you mason jars were originally designed for long term storage of food? ha ha! Learn how to pressure can carrots from Powell River Books Blog.
