Busy Busy...

We've spent what seems like the entire fall picking and cooking with fruits and vegetables. I have like 6 apple pies in the freezer at this point, jars of apple cider, applesauce, sliced apples, and 3 kinds of apple jam. Then, we have pickled green beans, carrots, and cucumbers, made tomato sauce, and put corn, green beans and more in the freezer as well. Here's a picture just of what we made today....it looked like so much more when piled up on the counter as fresh produce, but 8 half pint jars of apple cinnamon jam, 5 pints of tomato sauce and 6 pints of pickled carrots. Our freezers are full, our basement shelves are full....We still have to do a whole bunch more apples somehow though.

 Saw the flowers and vase on Pinterest and made this little craft project for a coworker's birthday...It only took about half an hour, but it's a fun idea for a teacher. I still have to figure out my designs for the next card challenge too...
