So excited to let everyone know that a happy and healthy new baby boy was born to the Jirovsky family on December 9th at 12:19 a.m. He was 9 lbs. 13 oz! And 22.75 inches long! Mom and baby are doing well. And she will be finishing her Christmas tour posts soon as she spends time with baby.

And here is a bell jar I painted in a ruby red color. I also painted several pickle jars. Yes, pickle jars. And while they may only make it one season, I love them. Great upcycling idea!
