Maya Angelou Mason Jar Quotes Craft

A Gift Mason Jar of Inspirational Maya Angelou Quotes

Includes:  Top 20 Inspirational Maya Angelou Quotes

We can all use a little inspiration!  Maya Angelou was the queen of motivation, so we thought she would be a great subject for our Quafts series (Quotable Crafts):

Maya Angelous quotes - mason jar crafts
Maya Angelou Quotes In Mason Jar

You will need:
*mason jar (any size)
*card stock
*hot glue or you can use sticker paper
*gray string
*any kind of print software program
*pic of Maya Angelou

For the outside of the quote card: On white card stock--I used a print program’s mailing label template and added a black rectangle border around it.  The label was 3.69” x 1.19” in size.

I put my pic of Maya Angelou in the left corner.  Then added the words, "Inspiration with Maya Angelou" in black and highlighted the words in a gray rectangle box.

Inside quote card:  I used gray paper and a blank page from a print program.  I made a smaller black rectangle border:  3.5” x 1”.

I typed the quote inside the box.  Glue or use sticker paper to combine front and back of the two labels into one. Fold in fourths.

Crafts Maya Angelou Quotes Page for Mason Jar


To decorate the jar:  I made a black rectangle in a blank page of a print program.  I sized it to the flat part of the front of the jar.  I added the same pic, but a bigger size of it.  And added white text: "Inspiration with Maya Angelou".

Lastly, I made four black circles.  Inside each black circle was a smaller gray circle.  Two  of the circles I added the text: "Maya Angelou quotes".  The other two circles the text: :"Take as needed:".  I cut out the four circles.  I glued the two circles together (to make them sturdier) adding gray ornament string between the two glued circles.

Maya Angelou quotes
Open Heart Maya Angelou Quote 



I've learned that whenever 
I decide something with an open heart, 
I usually make the right decision. 
I've learned that even when I have pains, 
I don't have to be one. 
I've learned that every day you should 
reach out and touch someone.
People love a warm hug, 
or just a friendly pat on the back. 
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. 
I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, 
but people will never forget 
how you made them feel. 
-Maya Angelou



Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art. -Maya Angelou

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within. -Maya Angelou

Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant.  -Maya Angelou 

Be present in all things and thankful for all things.  -Maya Angelou

When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed. -Maya Angelou

How important it is to celebrate our heroes and she-roes! -Maya Angelou

I am a Woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman,
that's me.
-Maya Angelou 

It’s the fire in my eyes, 
And the flash of my teeth, 
The swing in my waist, 
And the joy in my feet. 
I’m a woman. Phenomenally

Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you've got. Love it with a passion! -Maya Angelou

Life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.  -Maya Angelou 

Poetry puts starch in your backbone so you can stand, so you can compose your life.
-Maya Angelou

This is a wonderful day, I have never seen this one before.  -Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou quotes

If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be! 
-Maya Angelou

You can't use up creativity 
The more you use
The more you have
-Maya Angelou

Christmas in July Santa Letter
Christmas Santa Letter Game

*Give a Santa Letter to each guest to fill out in secret.

*Please note: You are not signing your name at the end, you are putting a nickname.  Examples: Santa’s favorite,  Your #1 fan,  Your snow angel, etc.

*Collect all the letters and shuffle them up.  Give each person a letter to read out loud so one person doesn't have to read all the letters.  Randomly pick someone to read first. The letter they read is now referred to as letter #1.

*After the first letter is read, have each guest write  #1 on a blank sheet of paper and put who they thought wrote the letter.  Then continue clockwise for the next person to read letter #2.

*After all letters are read and secretly guessed, the person who read letter #1 will read again the letter to refresh everyone’s memory.  Then the 1st letter reader will say who they thought wrote it. Then clockwise again, the next person will say who they thought wrote letter #1.   The author will be revealed as you go around the room and someone says that they thought they wrote it because, well, they did.  

*If you guessed correctly on who wrote letter #1, then you give yourself a point.

*Continue until all the authors have been revealed and points scored.

*Give out small prizes to anyone who guessed all authors correctly. Prize suggestion-bag of Christmas candy.

*Give out a bigger prize to the funniest letter to Santa. Prize suggestion: A frame for the letter and a bag of candy.

Sample Santa Christmas Letter:

Dear Santa,
How are things at the North Pole. I bet Mrs. Claus has been busy making eggnog. I have been very okay to rotten this year. Well, except for the one time when I was actually good.

Top 5 Ways on How to Celebrate Halloween Throughout the Year  

“It was always said of Scrooge that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us!" - Charles Dickens.

Many try to keep the Christmas spirit throughout the year, but what about those whose favorite holiday is Halloween??? What are we to do???

5 Ways To Celebrate Halloween and Famous Quotes

1. Celebrate Halloween by using Halloweenean language on an ongoing basis:

*When life gives you lemons don’t spin it, admit it!  Wrong order at the drive-thru and  you didn't notice till you got home?   Expecting flowers and dinner for Valentine’s Day and you got an electric mixer.  Well….

Charlie Brown Halloween Quote
Charlie Brown Halloween Quote Top 5 Reasons

Yup, you got a rock!

*New nick-name for friends, acquaintances and those briefly encountered - call them “pumpkin“.

* Don’t cuss!  If you must, try using "son of a witch" or go "Zombie off"!
And don't forget this classic put-down: "Your mummy wears army boots!"

*But if you really need to let off steam, try howling at the moon. I always feel better after a good howl :)

2. Eat Halloween Treats (Food & Drink) All Year Long!

*Oh yes, they sell candy corn all year long!  
Candy Corn + Peanuts = Pay Day Candy Bar

*Treat yourself to a fun size candy bar once a day.

*Monster Mash once a week!

Halloween Quotes Top 5 Food & Drinks



Cocktail - The Monster Mash

1. large size green slushy
2. 1 shot of sour mash whiskey
3. 2 red eyes (freeze cherry Kool-Aid) in round ice cube trays.  

Make many and put them in a punch bowls.  Feel free to change the color of the eyes with different flavors of Kool-Aid.

Serve with ghoulash...








3. Dress Up at least once a month in Halloween Costume!

If you are not daring enough to dress up as a pirate for no reason at all, then find or makeup reasons to do so.

*Dress up as a Pilgrim or Santa to help out an organization during the Holidays.

*Join the local theatre.  Who knows maybe the will do "Pirates of  Penzance"

*Do plays at home with the kids-endless costume dress-up.

*Have themed days at work: beach day, favorite football, etc.

*Go to the supermarket or bar as the opposite sex or a famous person.

4. Watch Old Scary Movies or Read Horror Books

Vincent Price, Alfred Hitchcock, Bella Lugosi, Stephen King, Poe, H P Lovecraft, Mary Shelley, Lon Chaney, Ed Wood, Boris Karloff, Bram Stoker, just to name a few! 

"It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open."

"I am alone and miserable; man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create."
 -Mary Shelley (Frankenstein)

Oh My!

5. Year Round Halloween Decor for your House

*Although a black cat is not decor but a pet, when you have one you tend to buy black cat knickknacks.  Your friends buy you black cat trinkets as well.  Your house soon becomes a domicile dedicated to the witch's favorite sidekick. If you love Halloween, a black cat is a purrr-fect year round reminder.

Halloween quote spider web poster
Halloween Decoration Decor for your House

*Castles do not require dusting:
The cobwebs in my house just became decorations! Thanks Halloween!

*Stock up on pumpkin scented candles and light them throughout the year - they smell so good.

*Decorate with the candy corn that is found later in the couch cushions.  Go batty...one day your candy corn art may be famous.



Happy Halloween quote, witch poster

Brew up a little Halloween every day of the year!

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.”
― William Shakespeare

This is a great quote by Maya Angelou:
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

If you have a painting in you, paint.
If you have a song to sing, sing.
Don't judge your creation.
Just create it.

Banish doubt & fear and
step out of your own way

Write if you're a writer &
invent if you're an inventor.

Do what you were born to do.
Only then you will know
a remarkable life.
-Toni Sorenson

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly Poetry Day 

Attention-Attention: Exercise your freedom of bad rhyming speech -- August 18th is Bad Poetry Day! Maybe you are a poet? Maybe you just don’t know it? Oh my!

Bad poetry day
Bad Poetry Day August 18th Bad Poems

Bad Poetry Day is August 18th 

Origins: A group of old high school chums decided to write bad poetry to send to an ex-teacher. Awesome! 

I thought I would share with you my bad poetry since I have a challenge for you later on. So here is my poetry writing history:

Rare Gold Star Poetry 

I retired from poetry writing at my zenith. I was in elementary school and got a rare gold star for my poem, "A Skinny Black Cat."  Always stop while your on top, especially if you really do not have any talent for poetry writing.

A Skinny Black Cat

I once had a skinny black cat
And all it did was sit on a mat
It broke in the house
And ate a five foot mouse
Now that cat is fat, fat, fat!


Night Time Cold Medicine, Sylvia Plath and Bad Poetry

Coming out of retirement - The back story:

I was researching with a terrible cold (I'm a little wired on the nighttime cold medicine--sometimes that happens) quotes and poems for my Facebook page.  That when I discovered Sylvia Plath.  I was hooked from the first quote.

The combination of Sylvia swirling in my head, nighttime cherry cough syrup and the fact that my parents moved from the buffer zone of over a 100 miles away to 2.3 miles down the road a year ago March 17th, culminated in the following poems that I bravely submitted to Poetry Magazines.

Yup, this is what happened:

Sylvia Plath poetry writing quote
Sylvia Plath Bad Poetry Day Poems Poster

These are the best and tamest of the group of eight poems that wrote that night:

Sylvia Rose And So Did I 

I try to write but nigh
My voice gets stifled in your lies
Until one night I got a visit from Ms Plath
And she sent you to the grave before my eyes
Sylvia rose and so did I
Now you will have to endure both our wrath


Original Poem - Poetry 
You deemed everything manual labor
Making your coffee-manual labor
Getting the mail-manual labor
Throwing away your trash-manual labor
Doing the dishes-manual labor
Even clearing your dirty dishes from
your nightstand-manual labor

Seeing what’s on tv-manual labor
Fetching your shoes-manual labor
Finding your lost stuff-manual labor
Doing anything you don’t want to do
-manual labor

And you told me you were retiring
from manual labor
You deemed everything manual labor
Doing anything you don’t want to do
-manual labor
You loving me-manual labor


Princess 
You think you are cool
Having everyone waiting on you
But we think you are cruel
And are waiting on you
to die

Poetry - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good:

So what happens if you are celebrating bad poetry day and the unthinkable happens?  That’s right a good poem accidentally gets written. Yikes.  Well I suggests, sending it to our website for possible publication
