Oh my goodness, this jar is AMAZING! My mind is going totally crazy with ideas for certain special folks in my life. The jar in the picture caught my eye immediately. Each jar would be so easy to unique. I can't wait to start making up several. I think the hunt for uniquely shaped jars will be fun also.
