Wooden Shim Interchangeable Picture Frame {custom family silhouette printable} I have had some wooden shims left over from the custom natural wall art piece I did awhile ago and thought I would put them to good use.

Mason's developments made preserving food at home much easier and made the jars reusable. Despite the fact that Mason sold five of his glass canning jar patents in 1859, his name had staying power. The mason jar is the common name for glass home canning jars to this day (source). In the spirit of optimism let's start with the good news...
