A friend gave my daughter a very nice gift last week...so I wanted to do a little something in return. Decided to do her up a journal jar in a Victorian theme. I had found three square jars at the thrift store for 49 cents each ....so I used one of them to make this jar.
Here's a close up of those flowers so you can see the details...
A close up of that mini fan....
A close up of the flower on top...
This time I put the "recipe" on the back of the jar
I made the jar to match this notebook - turned journal (with a recycled calendar image for the front)
