But it could also be a great idea for a birthday party or special celebration -- filling jars with different toppings for ice cream sundaes, and letting kids top their own. I'll try to keep posting a few times per week, in the next month. Another wrench was thrown in my way again today. I hope that your year is off to a fabulous beginning!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-10677695608378048492018-01-08T13:43:31.183-08:002018-01-08T13:43:31.183-08:00Thank you, Carol!

Rainbow sprinkles on oatmeal, "party oatmeal." It's like having a bundle of helium balloons in my hand!

Oh yes, chocolate chips would be my downfall, if that is what I had chosen. So far, we're doing okay without gobbling the toppings by the handful. Most of what is in the containers is semi-ordinary stuff from the pantry, like the coconut, chopped peanuts, and broken candy canes, which haven't been eaten unusually fast when in the pantry. So, I think we're good on our selection. Have a wonderful day, LP!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-26494193904576071112018-01-08T07:05:05.413-08:002018-01-08T07:05:05.413-08:00Hi Sue,

It's working without needing to be refilled too often, so far.<br /><br />I have one of those marinara jars. I think it was Classico brand, from many years ago. I use it for canning salsa and it survives the home-canning process. It also makes a great measuring cup for liquids, in a pinch.<br /><br />have a great day, Alice!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-43418905042063532012018-01-08T06:41:15.929-08:002018-01-08T06:41:15.929-08:00Oh so pretty!

I can see someone grabbing a handful of peanuts or candy canes as they walk by. <br /><br />I used a jar of marinara sauce this weekend and the jar had measurements on the side--1/4, 1/3, 1/2 cup, 1 cup, etc. That jar is now a keeper and I found myself explaining why I needed another jar. <br /><br />AliceAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024364480893258511noreply@blogger.com
