I've been busy preparing neighbor & teacher gifts. I made these mini cookies out of Spritz cookie dough & put them in some mason jars that I had. Recycle, reuse right? The cookies are so yummy! So much so that out of the 8 jars I made, I only have 5 left. Hmm...I've got to get them delivered before hubby cracks open another one.
Tomorrow is the last day of school for a few weeks. Yay! I just about finished my shopping today. And thank goodness because it is crazy out there!
What ideas did you come up with for your teachers & neighbors this year?

I love the picture of the mountain..what a wonderful view to have every day! Your cookies in a jar are adorable...we did a handpainted ornament with a letter of gratitude for each teacher. Our neighbors (all 2 of them!) always get a platter of baked goodies..which I have yet to bake..hehe...I am a bit behind to say the least! Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your break kiddos!
So adorable!! I used recycled jars, and put Poppycock in them, spray painted the lids white, and wrapped the jar in pretty wrapping paper strips.
But I LOVE the way yours turned out!
I love your jar idea; will have to copy it. I just bought Spritz muffin. Hopefully it will be as yummy as you think the cookies are.
A box of see's candy HA HA HA
Wish I was as crafty as you. The cookie jars to too cute! My girls teachers each got pizza gift cards. I was hoping to give them an easy meal during this crazy time of year.
Hi Jamie!
I came over here somehow (now I forget how) and I am glad I did! It's been fun looking through your blog! I love the cookie jars! I will definitely be back to visit! :)

What a view! Can't imagine being able to see that everyday:) Love how you put the cookies in the jars! We make the spritz cookies every year as well. So yummy!! So are you ready for Christmas?! Would you believe that we have not wrapped ONE gift yet?! Crazy!
Those mountains remind me of the San Bernardino mountains where I'd lived in So. Cal. It'd be great if you'd be willing to share your cookie recipe. They look delish. The mason jars a creative change from the traditional box or bag.

P.S. I guess I'm not sure what a Spritz muffin mix is? That you used to create the cookies.
Sweet Wishes,
