Black Friday

Many southern belles are going Black Friday shopping as a tradition to get good deals for Christmas and presents, but every southern belle has to remember her southern charm and hospitality. Don't knock over anybody to get to the good deals and be mindful. I know I don't have to remind y'all though. Happy holidays!

Good Southern Friends

Everyone has em'. We all need em'. And we all want to be one. They are good southern friends. These are the friends we can pour our deepest secrets out to, go shopping with, and who are the bridesmaids at our weddings. We all have our friends who get us. We all know they were sent from the Lord almighty just for us, but it's really important that we return the kindness. They do so much for us and the favor is hardly returned. We can be like out good southern friends by:

• Listening to their problems-they would do it for us.
• Hanging out with them-we all love shopping, right?
• Sticking up for them-If someone is talking about them behind their back, defend them. You know they would do it foe you.
• Be their shoulder to cry on-if they are having  bad day or a recent breakup, comfort them. It's what a true southern friend would do.
• Anything they would do-If you know that they would do it for you, do it for them.

Every southern belle knows her true friends, but to keep them she has to be one herself. A friendship will only grow if both friends are contributing to the friendship equally. Do whats right, be the good southern friend that you would really on.

Mason Jars

So recently I've been really into Mason Jars, mostly because of all the really cute and neat things you can do with them. I figure the best way to share my love of these jars it by blogging it. You can find so many more fun and creative ideas at  http://beautyandbedlam.com/ideas-for-mason-jars/

So the first thing I discovered you could do with them is make a match holder. I think they would be great for decoration. All you have to do is replace the top with sandpaper and fill the jar with matches. It's pretty simple.

Second, I saw this idea for light holders. I guess if you were having an outdoor party or southern wedding it would be really cute. The only thing you have to do is wrap and secure some twine around the top. Than fill it a quarter way full with sand and put a little candle in it.

Another cute idea would be to use a Mason jar for an organizer. Yes you heard me right. If you glued them together they could be used to organize thinks like office materials. So cute right?
