A new Year.

I need to get here more often. I'm not really sure what is keeping me from writing more.

I got a new Stampington magazine, Artful Blogging. Love to read it and the pictures are great. Reading the magazine always makes me want to do more of my own. They have numerous magazines I love. I can't bear to part with them, either.

One of the others I got was the "Green" magazine. There are so many neat ideas in there. Tomorrow is going to be my day to work on some of my own projects.

Fall colors.

Late to my own party.

Who knows what has kept me away from here so long.

I am going to try to post more often.

Adding some fall pictures.

My Christmas tree is up. Seems like a tradition now for my granddaughter and I to put the tree up on Black Friday. She was such a big help this year. I have so many decorations I've collected over the years. It is such a treat to see the things that only come out once a year.

Freezer Jam.

I like to make jams and jellies. The freezer jam is so easy to make.

I made strawberry bread, too.

Tennessee Strawberries

More Iris.

Spring comes early here. My iris are blooming.
