DIY Solar Mason Jar Lantern

Monday, May 20, 2013

Well, the local school had graduation this week and since it has been in the 80's down here for the last few days, I've been dreaming about summer. Part of my summer plans include sprucing up our outdoor living space, and in addition to putting out our hummingbird feeders a little early, I wanted to add some night-friendly ambiance to the deck.

If you attended our wedding (or saw photos) then you know that I'm a little obsessed with lanterns! I wanted solar-powered lighting and I just couldn't justify the price of solar lanterns, so I turned to Pinterest for some ideas. I also cased the local Dollar General and remembered that I live in the South where mason jars are sold year-round and for cheap! So, I came up with a do-it-yourself mason jar lantern using solar garden lights!

Jamaica? No problem, mon!

In honor of my wonderful mother's big 5-0 birthday this year, the Murphlanaroulx girls, Mom, Grammie and a group of friends flew down to the island of Jamaica for a week of fun at the pool bar in the sun!

Of course, it took Karagh two extra days to get there because Laramie was having a blizzard. Typical. She caught up on her drinking tanning pretty quickly though.
