HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN VACATION KEEPSAKE MASON JAR

If your family is like mine, we tend to collect little treasures on our trips.  This year we collected sea shells at the beach and more than our fair share of interesting rocks.  Today we are sharing an easy way to store you trip treasures with these easy DIY Vacation Keepsake Mason Jars.
 
These keepsake jars are labeled with the place and year and are perfect for storing our collected treasures.
