Freezer Jam/Salsa and @StickerYou! #printing

Have I ever mentioned that I really dislike cooking?  Yes, it's true.  Unfortunately, my sister convinced me to go over to her house to make jam and salsa for the freezer.  Super fun?  No, not really.  Super yummy?  Totally!  I'm the cooking party pooper I suppose.  We did try out some stickers you print yourself at home , though, and stickers are super fun to use as labels for your canning jars! More on StickerYou later on in the post... We certainly had plenty of peaches to use in our jam as our peach tree is overloaded.  The tree even had a large branch break a few weeks ago from the weight of the peaches.  And they are tasty!  Fresh peaches just picked from the tree are very yummy.

Mid-Week Peek...Salty or Sweet?

It's Wednesday and that means time for a new "peek" into your fellow readers!   This week's question: When it's time for snacking, do you prefer a salty snack or a sweet snack?

Endless Summer with Kara Rane on #Etsy {#Giveaway}

This post is part of Endless Summer at Artsy Chaos , happening only during September! "Hope Full"  9" x 12" For some, summer goes much further and deeper than just a season.  Summer is a theme, a feeling or mantra by which one lives their life to the fullest and brightest.  Since most of us live in a world where the seasons change and the world around us bends and wanes with the weather, there is just one way to "see" summer all year round and that is through art. "El Fortin" 9" x 12" "Luke"  12" x 9" Let me introduce you to Kara Rane.  Kara has created a collection of art which begs you to sit down and enjoy its vibrant colors and playful summer tickle.  In her words, "discover your paradise".  Kara's Made in Vieques art collection is a Limited Edition Collection of Fine Art Giclee Prints. Only 20 reproductions are created for each image selected and each is signed and numbered by the artist. ...
