We actually had these on our second morning and they were great.

That’s how I managed to get my jars looking so cute, in case you were wondering.No decorating skills needed!.

These cute jar labels are included in the kits too!.Speaking of jars, here’s a close of up the jars included with the kit..I washed them and then warmed them up in the canner just like it said to in the instructions.. And speaking of the canner….

Isn’t it a beauty?I thought I was a little strange for being so in love with a big pot, but then Kennedy came home from camp and said “Oooo!

Did they really give this to you?” So the love of canning must be genetic..

I mixed up my simple recipe and got my canning complete in no time flat..It looks super simple but of course we know that there’s a little bit of DIY magic hiding hiding under that basic molding!.

At the bottom, a basic 2×2 piece of lumber allowed him to create a little “sill” for the chalk to sit on.He finished it off with some more decorative molding.

The end result looks pretty and classic, and it’s exactly what I had in mind!.When it came time to hang up our fancy new chalkboard, we couldn’t just do the basic “nail in the wall and a piece of string” method, now could we?
