Today is THE Day!

Today, my first baby

is getting married!

I know....

What am I doing here???

Had a little time...

waiting...

for the cake...

for the bride and her attendants to arrive...

So I figured I'd take the opportunity

to finally post a couple pictures 

from her shower.

Sorry it took so long!

The set-up

My Baby!

 

My & my girl!

Both my babies! Aren't they beautiful!

I will post some pictures of the wedding after things calm down.

Time to go get dressed!

Have a blessed day!

Hugs!

Why Did I Wait So Long???

I have always wanted to make

my own jam

but I've been too afraid...

of what?

Messing up, I guess.

So yesterday, my friend, Suzanne,

sent me a link to a blog called

The Hip Girls Guide to Homemaking

A very inspiring site for us Happy Homemaker wanna-be's!

With lots of recipes and helpful hints!

That blog led me to another blog:

Food in Jars

which has all kinds of recipes and helps

for canning and preserving all kinds of stuff.

This is where I found the recipe for

Blueberry Cinnamon Freezer Jam!

She made it sound sooo easy,

so I thought I'd give it a try!

Washed my jars

Mashed my blueberries - the most tedious and time consuming part of the whole thing!

Mixed berries with no-cook pectin and sugar for 3 minutes!

And it was done!!!

Mmmmmmmmm!

Couldn't be much easier than that!

I really have no idea why I waited so long to try this!

But you can bet that I will be making

my own freezer jam more often now!

Do you can???

Do you have any simple recipes to share

with this canning newbie???

Hope you are having a great weekend!
Hugs!
