Okay, just call me Martha...lol

This last week I have been busy doing housewifey type things. My friend Clarissa and I canned some strawberry jam yesterday. It was fun to actually do something like that although it was quite the production.
Here I am stirring the pectin and strawberries together before canning them (p.s. I pretty much hate how I look in this picture but oh well I wanted to capture the moment)
All of the goods to can the jam. We canned like 30 jars. Sweet!

The lovely Clarissa stirring away. She is such a fun girl and we are having alot of fun getting to know each other and learning how to do
different things together.


Oh strawberries! We had lots and lots. Aren't Clarissa's jars beautiful?

I have found a ton of fun treasures at Goodwill and have been waiting to spray paint them before I put them out. I finally got around to it and Ilove how they turned out. Yay!
The site of the painting. Don't worry the table is covered with painter's plastic. It was all going well until the wind started to blow. Annoying, yes...
Just another picture of my lovely decor...don't look to close at the
paint job okay. Thanks!

I found this awesome set of coasters at Kirklands. They are b-e-a-utiful!
I loves them!
That's all folks!
