A LITTLE BIT OF THIS AND A LITTLE BIT OF THAT!!!!

Time has flown by so fast. Few more weeks and it will be September. Lots has happened since my last post. My family and I went on vacation to Montana... We had a fabulous time...The pictures above are of Montana, what a beautiful state.... Below are some goodies I found in Montana at a antique store.... That dough bowl is from the 1800, I just love it :)
Last weekend I started my canning. Below is some pictures of that... I made some peach jam, peach butter, hot pepper jelly and apple and maple spread.... Yum, Yum... our rule at our house is we can't open any canned item until Thanksgiving... Have lots more canning to do, its a lot of work but well worth it. Haven't been crafting much lately, but after looking at all the blogs with fall items on there is getting me inspired to start on some fall items... It's been really hot here in the Pacific Northwest lately, but it is starting to cool off....Love the sunshine....
blessings to all
Jeannette
Praise the Lord!
yes, give praise. O servants of the Lord
Praise the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name of the Lord now and forever.
everywhere- from the east to west
Praise the name of the Lord.
For the Lord is high above the nations
His glory is higher than the heavens..........
psalm 113 : 1-4
