I Made It! Well, Actually, My Husband Did!

He made me the under-the-cabinet jar rack thingy (sorry, I know that's probably not the technical term for it) that I posted a link to a while back!  Here it is!

I know you can't see all of the labels, but we made a handy map (which I forgot to take a picture of) and taped it to the inside of the cabinet, in case we forget what's what and try to put cumin in the oatmeal instead of cinnamon!  I actually did that once, even before we made this!

My handy husband also made this...
It's a chalk-pan... pan-board... chalk-board-that-was-once-a-rusty-pan... oh well, you get the idea.  I'm not particularly clever with the names today!  Anyway, an old pan, a couple layers of chalk board spray paint and there you go.  It is supposed to say what is for dinner tonight, but I haven't gotten that far yet!  Oh, by the way, the smiley face was drawn by my daughter and that isn't a strange sea-monster trying to attack the board, it is my aloe plant!

Useful Stuff, Funny Stuff And A Big Thank You!

So, I will stop complaining about waking up at 5 A.M.  I think I complain too much anyway.  So, today I will try to focus on some things I actually like (you know like NOT waking up at 5 A.M.  Oops, sorry). 

So you don't know this about me (considering I just started this blog, you don't really know anything about me yet), but I love to can food.  That's right, old school, Mason Jars, rows and rows of green beans in the pantry, the whole bit.  When I see something using Mason Jars, it always grabs my attention.  So, When I saw this   http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1214820/list/Get-Organized--Easy-DIY-Mason-Jar-Storage, I knew it was something I had to check out!


They found it on a blog that I just happen to follow called http://postroadvintage.com/.  She is a fellow Etsy seller and does some pretty awesome things with Mason Jars.  Go, check it out!

I also found this bit of humor on Etsy last night... http://www.etsy.com/listing/55599416/unattended-children-will-be-given


This is also from another Etsy seller, Got Mojo?  http://www.etsy.com/shop/gotmojo?ref=seller_info


Ok, I'm almost done, I just wanted to say thank you to Heather at http://www.etsy.com/shop/EverythingPrecious

She featured my "I Heart Valentine's Day Coffee Cup Cozy" in this Treasury on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTY4ODU5OTB8MTc5MTMyNzUwNw/i-heart-valentines-day?index=0 . 

So, I think that is all for today!  Go check out these great links!
