Welcome to the New Year! I know I have not posted in ages, and I am so sorry. I hope to be much better at posting this year. Life became so busy at th end of last year with my brother's accident, then the Holidays came, and well I just now feel like I am caught back up.

Some new and exciting things also happend last year. I now have my new website up and running. Sales are going very well and I thank all of you for that. Look for some new great products that will be offered this year. We are still selling on Etsy too.

May God Bless you all this new year and may all your dreams come true!

Summertime Berries!

Hello All!

WOW! It has been a busy day at my house today. This morning at the crack of dawn my husband and I headed out to pick strawberries. Best to get their early before the sun roasts you and the swarm of people arrive. We picked 19 Quarts of berries in about 45 minutes. Came home and started the process of cleaning, slicing and making homemade strawberry jam. Oh, my goodness it is the best stuff ever! I made 40 jars of jam (so far) and still have 13 quarts of berries left-AUGH!!!!!!!

I have cut some for shortcake, cuz really now it is not summer without a fresh made strawberry shortcake :)

I sent some home with some frineds that stopped by today, and I now have 10 quarts left to make up tomarrow for more jam.

As all of my berries were sitting on the table I was inspired. The little green vintage baskets would make the great holders for some bits and bobs for ATC's!

So after the day was finished I went to the craft room, took a few baskets and strated creating.

I have enclosed a picture of "the fruits of my labor" and my inspirations!

Have a Great Day!

You can find them on ETsy in my store
