Strawberry Jam Anyone?

Last year I spent a couple of days with two fav aunties (you know who you are) pickling baby carrots on the farm. Not only were they absolutely delish, but I took home some fantastic memories of days well spent. I usually get a jar or two from one of them, so I decided that I should really learn about this process and what better way than hands on. The only thing I didn't do was actually dig the carrots out of the earth, my Uncle did that (thanks Uncle).

As a thank you to my Aunties I made them each a card and some Jar tags. They loved them so much that I thought I should make some for my shop this year. This time for Strawberry Jam too!

Mother's Day Shadow Box Gifts

Grandma always loves photos of her grandsons. I had this shadow box frame in a stash of supplies I need to use up.... Then added a bit of detail with a wire word hanger and button covered thumbtack. I wasn't sure what to do with the frame as far as painting it or covering it with paper.... once I added the layout inside of the frame I decided it looked fine in it's natural wood state. A few buttons to tie in with the tack added just the right finishing touch.

Sweet little birthday
