Right Now ...

I'm sitting down to the computer with my favorite lunch ...

Homemade sandwich with all the fixings, chips (baked Kettle Chips), cookie (Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip) and a coke with a straw :).

Love it.

Here's one of things I've been up to these past few weeks:

Peach Jam ... Canned by me!

So last year, Kelly bit me with the canning bug. Still a bit intimidated last year I simply did freezer jams and butters ... and was not too happy with the results. But this year, I decided I could do this ( and it didn't hurt that Kelly practically held my hand and told me I could do this too!). Well I did it and I loved it (after the initial fear of major burns subsided) ... I canned 15 jars of peach jam and my, oh my, is it tasty. And how cute does it look all dolled up with a fabric scrap (and you know I have a few of these laying around) and some twine!?!?

Next canning adventure, applesauce and apple pie filling.

Yep, I love it. I love that I did it, that it looks cute, tastes delicious and will make sweet little handmade gifts.

Happy Thursday!

Your lunch was way better than my lunch. I'm comin' to your house for lunch.
I'm so glad you got through the canning experience and loved it! Don't forget I have berries heading my way this weekend. :)
