Memories in the making!

    Happy Saturday!  Today I want to share with you the Cut Above Calendar kit we have for our September Promotion at Close to my Heart.   This kit is so fun and easy to put together.  Best of all, at the end of the year or as the months go by, you can rip off the pages and put them in an album.

https://paperdivas.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/campaigns/1809-nsm-memories-in-the-making.aspx.  Just click here to see all of the options that are available.     You can get the kit with or without the stamp sets.  But the best deal is with the stamp sets.

This is the cover page!

This is the entire kit!  So much fun stuff and all you need is a tape runner and your versa mat or a ruler to put this all together!  Click here to see the versa mat and tape runner and all of our other tools you might like to have.  https://paperdivas.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=240

Now I am going to show you all of the other pages completed.  I used foam pop up dots to raise up some of the pieces!

Aren't they so cute!!!!!

Well that's all for today!   I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Hugs,  Ronda

Where does your food come from?

Happy Labor Day!  I hope you enjoyed your weekend!  I did but not at a fun camp ground or a lake!  My vacation comes in a couple weeks.  But first I have to get all my canning done.  Why do I do this all summer, every summer?  Yes, I grow several gardens of flowers, herbs and vegetables!  And then after all the hard work of getting them planted I get a bit of a break.  We took a vacation up to Munising MI to see the Pictured Rocks and explored lots of water falls.

Yesterday I used up the rest of the cucumbers.  I had quite a few, but they get kind of bitter at the end of the season.  So I peeled them, chopped them and made some dill relish.  I have made it before just winging it but this time I went to Pinterest a got a recipe to follow.  So I have to give credit here.

This is how it looks, along with a few jars of tomato juice I canned too.  I just used up what was in the house.

I hope it taste good.  There wasn't any left to taste.

I love to dry herbs too, so at any giving time, you will find this in my kitchen.  I dry them and the put them in jars.  Some times I crush them and others I just leave hole.  I store them in the basement and I give them away too.

Here is another picture of some tomato juice I canned.  I think it is so pretty!

I rescued this beauty!  It had tipped over by the wind so I had to bring it in.

That its for today!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Happy Healthy Life,

Ronda
