Blogmas Day 3: How To-sday How to Make A Christmas Jar

I bet you're wondering what a Christmas Jar is... well you're in luck because today you're going to find out how to make one!

Here's what you'll need:

A Large Jar 
Christmasy Things to put in the jar. 

 I have a very large Apothecary Jar that I won in a "Guess The Candy Corn" Contest and I filled it with Ornaments of different sizes, "Snow" and jingle bells.

The first ornaments I got were from Target's Wondershop and I went with the Pink, Red, Silver and rose gold theme. I just got 2 of the $3 boxes... would have been enough for a regular sized apothecary jar maybe... but not enough for mine... so the next day I went to Dollar Tree and got 2 packs of large rose gold ornaments and 1 bag of jingle bells.

The snow from the stuffing of a little stuffed snowman that my dog got a hold of and put that in there too.

I arranged the ornaments so that it wasn't too much of the same type of ornament or the same color in every little thing. The jingle bells clumped together a little more but it still looked pretty good.

Overall... I'm really happy with how it turned out. I love looking at it and it's just a fun little christmasy thing to do!

Edit: I forgot to include a picture of the Christmas Jar! Lol.
I didn't fill it up to the top... I might get some more ornaments to match it and fill it up... but I'm happy with how it looks! 

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
