Roundup: preserving food and memories, back to school shopping and affordable skin care

Allow me to share a few interesting links I accidentally stumbled on while working this week. No, really, I was working, for reals.

• The BBB Craft Sisters have a new Hunt, Gather and Host post on Design Sponge…. Quick Jams and Preserves Party. I so want to do this and I have my recent Ball Jar obsession to thank. The post is much more quick and crafty than  tutorial.
• I love back to school shopping, even though I have not been a student for many, many years. I love Etsy, just cause. Fresh Home blog put the two together and now I love Fresh Home. Does that make me blog whore?
•  Jezebel.com introduced a new feature called Worth It. This week, who needs expensive and fancy when you can have “cheap green goo.”
