Post image for Organizing with Glass Cracker Jars

I was over at My First Kitchen’s house the other day, yah know just hanging out eating her to die for Lemon Blueberry Scones, and I fell in love with her jars of ingredients! Well I am the first to admit that I can be the biggest copy cat out there, but I always give the rightful owner credit! Anyway, I’ve got ingredients galore so I immediately knew I could fill a few of these stylish and reasonably priced cracker jars from Walmart with out a problem.

I purchased all 12 cracker jars my Walmart had in stock in 3 different sizes. I tackled my organic section first, the ones that everything in plastic bags from the bulk bin spilling out everywhere. Goodbye bags!

Then I organized the K-cups for the “I can’t live without” Keurig! I have my tea in the bottom jar and the coffee on top!  I’m running low on K-cups, just ordered more today!

Just as I was finishing up the big jars, I wondered to myself how would I label everything. I do not have a label maker {gasp!}. But, then the man in the Big Brown Truck came today. He brought me my Slate Tags I ordered from Melissa’s {The Inspired Room} Open Sky Shop! I almost hugged him! You know seconds later I was making these cute little tags for the jars!

love these slate tags!

So now my kitchen is adorned with pretty jars of all my precious baking and cooking ingredients!  My pictures are not so good because the room is very sunny, but trust me, it is much better than it looks!

I’ve been catching up on my blog reading (can’t ya tell??) and I was wondering if you’ve seen those chalkboard markers that they have at Michaels/Hobby Lobby? It’s what places like Starbucks uses to do their boards and they show up really well. They come in lots of colors and you can buy them for about $6 when you use a 50% coupon. Miss Ruthie from SugarPieFarmhouse uses them a lot and she recommends using a Mr. Clean Eraser to get your board really clean between uses.

I’ve tried in vain to find the slate tags you reference above; is there any way to post a url so I could purchase? Love them!
