Picnics Are Fun!

I have a love-hate relationship with Pinterest. They have such wonderful ideas and people make them look so simple and cheap that I just can't resist diving in and starting a new project. (My husband does NOT like me to add new projects to my already started mound of 2739!😉)

Then, I buy all the supplies, get well under way, and then discover that I have bitten off more than I can chew!

Not this time! I had the exciting privilege of planning lunch for some friends, but, for various reasons, it couldn't be held at my home. We could have gone out to lunch, but that seemed so cold and impersonal.

Pinterest to the rescue! I looked up picnic ideas and found the cutest food items using mason jars! So, we had soup, salad, cheesecake and lemonade all served in mason jars at the park! It was so much fun!

I probably went overboard on the mason jars because, although I have about 3 dozen empty ones at home that I could have used, when I went to Target they had such an assortment of various sizes and shapes that I just couldn't resist buying some. And I think I need to go back for the purple ones....

Anyway, here are some very amateur pictures of how it turned out!

What a cute idea! That would be so relaxing for me, usually a Nervous Nelly Hostess, it's all in the jars.
