Label Making...

A simple project today - but one I've been tryin' to get around to since Christmas.  My grandmother gave me some jars as a gift...
 
 
They were simple but that is what I wanted - they just needed some labels...
 
 
Some spray on Chalkboard paint and some mailing/shipping labels...
 
 
A couple of quick coats...
 
 
I added some lil' dashes around the edge with paint just to dress them up a bit...
 
 
 And they worked out perfect.  Now, I'll be honest - I was really trying to help out my hubby (wink) - see, he doesn't cook very often - AT ALL - but every once in a blue moon - he takes a notion.  Not so long ago he was gonna fry some squash - man, were they sweet!  After a little investigation - he said he mistakenly used powdered sugar instead of flour.  Oh well, better luck next time.  I should give him a lil' more credit - when he does cook - it is always good.  Thanks for trying Shaun!
 
 
And here they are - all lined up in the pantry and easy to tell the difference ;-)
 
 
All you  need are some labels and chalkboard paint - so go label something!

Beans in the Pantry...

I recently was able to can my first batch of green beans in our new kitchen.  We've had such a busy summer that it was real nice to be at home and do something we'll enjoy all winter long.  I might add I had lots of good help from the hubby, my son and my mother-n-law. We really enjoyed our day - but I might also add that we put up 34 quarts of beans - from picking to breaking to canning - nearly 12 hours - whewww.  They better be good - that's all I'm saying!

Clean Jars...
 Lots of breaking going on...
 A nice hot bath...
 Canning...
