Collection Jars & Map Updated

I (finally) updated my collection jars and license plate map. I'm so excited! While traveling we collect  items and I put them in jars where we relive our travels every day.  Annelies has gathered dirt from the Churchill Downs racetrack (Kentucky Derby), and Scott has (illegally) grabbed ash from Mount St. Helen's Volcano. 

Here are my collection jars. I use IKEA RAJTAN jars. Scott recently hung six (6) RIBBA Picture Ledges since my fireplace mantel was getting too small, and I just love it! I should have enough room to hold items from our two remaining trips.




We also collect license plates while traveling. The girls love stopping at junk yards (here we are in North Dakota). We meet some very nice people along our journeys as well (Chris from Mt. Hood, and Haddy at the Licensing Bureau). I display them in front of my home on a large board (you can see how I created it here). Scott and I just got it updated. Only seven (7) states missing!
