Painted mason jars in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White.
I had every intention of calling in sick today.
But it wasn’t going to be a real sick day. Because I’m not sick. I was going to give you the fake sick call-in …
* Cough *
Hellooooo ….
That was going to be my opening. The fake cough followed by the gravely, drawn out hello. Spoken softly. Almost a whisper …
* Cough *
Another cough for good measure. Followed up with …
I’m not feeling so good today ….
* Cough *
*Cough *
* Sniffle *
And then I would give you my litany of fake ills: My head hurts. My stomach is queasy. I feel weak. I’m burning up. I was up all night ….
* Cough *
But somewhere between my viewing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 on ABC Family and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 on my Amazon Video Library, panic set in …
… my cursed, ingrained goody two shoes nature kicked in …
And I realized I just couldn’t do that to you.
Fake coughs and fake illnesses couldn’t be used to mask the fact that I have no new projects to share. That nothing was worked on over the weekend…
I mean, really? How could I find the time with all that Harry Potter viewing going on … 
So instead, I show up here first thing all bright-eyed-and bushy-tailed …
… to give you yet another shameless plug for my Etsy shop!
The Annie Sloan Chalk Paint mason jar collection. Painted in Old White. And distressed. Of course.
You can find them by clicking here …
Shameless, I tell you …
You know what? It probably would’ve been better if I had just called in fake sick after all …

Don’t you know that when you’re blogging you don’t have to call in sick? You’re the decider. If you post you post. That’s it. But I do really like these white jars.
i’m glad that (1) you aren’t/weren’t sick and (2) that you did post the shameless etsy shop plug. the last time i looked at your etsy shop, you had mason jars but no drop cloth items. while i like mason jars, i’m not “into” them, i’m sure you get the difference there! but drop cloth items, now that’s a different story. so yay! and definitely agree with karen, if you don’t feel like posting, that’s the benefit of being a blogger and not a factory worker.
Those are so darn cute. Oh how I know this story. The internal drive deep within me doesn’t always reconcile with the need for just shirking all self imposed responsibilities. There comes a point where you cross the line from occasional blogger to blogger with some responsibility to others. Usually I am happy to show up here and share something, but there are days when I would just like to pretend I don’t know anything about the blogosphere. So looking forward to Haven, hoping my blogging batteries will get a be recharging!
These look like perfection! Love the color!
Have a wonderful day rock star!

Those are adorable! And I hear you on the sick day! I really want to call in tomorrow…
You know I will always have a soft spot for your mason jars. And the chalk paint ones are just as fabulous as the others you’ve posted.
I feel like I’ve had a sick week! I’ve been so caught up in my hectic little life that I haven’t had a chance to write anything down! (Still – don’t be afraid to take a day (or days) off. Sometimes it’s liberating!)
I can get a tutorial for the mason jar on the wood that says HOME? I’d like to know how to distress the wood like that and where I can get the Letters. I’m just a newbee. Thanks in advance for your help.
Here’s the link to the tutorial on how to paint and distress mason jars: http://www.itallstartedwithpaint.com/paint-distress-mason-jars/
Also, here’s a link to a wood sign that I created (painted & lightly distressed) that might be helpful too: http://www.itallstartedwithpaint.com/vintage-look-grocery-sign-diy/
Hi! Do you think same brand version of the spray paint instead of the paint would work?
Absolutely!
