It's a Canning Party ~

~ and you're invited!

I had the chance to host a Ball Canning Party to celebrate their 125th Anniversary.  Of course I jumped at the chance and if you are local, I would love to have you join me.  We will be canning Salsa and Jelly. Of course there will be freebies, samples and goodies to take home.  This will be a great way to learn canning if you are a newbie canner, or a good refresher if you are a canning pro.  So if you would like to join us on June 5th at 2 pm. Leave me a comment, or email me to get on the list.

Digital Layout Day ~

In the midst of switching computers and software, it has been awhile since I've done any digital layouts, so here is my jump back into the digital world. There is so much to learn and you really have to keep at it, or you forget everything you've learned. It is so much more fun too, if you have sweet little pictures like this to work with.  I love this little girl! She is so busy and so much fun when she comes to visit.

Time to get Creative ~

In case any of you get a sudden urge to get crafty today, here are a few sample cards to get you going.
