Well, here they are! I really like how they turned out. They are so cute! I do love them in black. These labels are just so fun and easy to use. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to prim something up these are definately the way to go! After I painted and sanded, I just brushed on a little ModPodge with a cheap little sponge brush and smoothed it out with a slightly damp cloth. I did something a little different this time, I used a satin varnish type finish on them. It seems a little shiny to me, but I had to do something knowing that I will be actually using them. Just incase something gets on them I want to be able to wipe them down. If anybody has a fav brand of finish for their projects ,please let me know what you use. I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
I want to tell you about my new friend. Her name is Nana and I found her through a forum that I belong to. She is very interested in our "prim style" and she shows her prim crafts and projects on her blog. It is so exciting to me to see the variations of prim style between our two countries. I have added her to my blog list and she joined my followers today. Please pay her blog a visit. I added a russian translator to my Google page so that I could read it, as it is all in Russian. But, it is alot of fun!
Okay, that's all I got for today. Not as short a blog as I wanted. I guess I get carried away! LOL! It's -13 outside.....yeah....this is Ohio people, not the North Pole! I just have one question.....where's your Global Warming at today? Really!
Have a great day girls! ~Beth~

Your canisters look GREAT!! Using the clear varnish was the "smart" thing to use when the piece is going to be used in daily use....I just love those labels!! I am saving ALL jars from now on...! Have a great weekend..!!
