Deb I can only draw stick figures. Got a call from my DD and she said the 2 blankets that went to her house were a hit. And WBF the no sew are the way to go. Didn't mean to rhyme that at all.;) I did get the final one all finished up on Christmas Eve for delivery to DH's mom and her husband...

Exactly Deb!

Welcome kittiekat!

3 blankets dropped off at UPS, 3 more being delivered by my sister and the rest will get opened Christmas day. 1 left to finish but there's still time.;) I just got the tree decorated all 30 inches of it. Couldn't bring myself to put up the big 9ft monster and I like the small one. This year...

Pasta making party sounded fun. :D The Kroger here donates tons to the state for the county food banks and the local business always have a food drive as well as the Boy Scouts and many church groups. Every wednesday Loaves and Fishes soup kitchen serves free lunch to anyone in the community...

Funny you mention that WBF this year I decided to make the No-Sew-Blankets 12 of them to be exact with 7 down and 5 to go. Polar fleece was 75% off on black friday so thats the only purchase I made after Thanksgiving (love Thanksgiving) Rubs and spice mixes are a great idea. Gifts in a jar...

Sorry the food bank is lacking Pink. The one in our town is fantastic and although times are still hard the choices are wonderful. I haven't had the need to use it but I have friends that only get by with the help of the food bank. I have seen the boxes that come from the one here and they do...

Christmas is not my favorite holiday, it's just too commercial. I'm trying to make more of my gifts and this years list includes blankets, pajamas, aprons and canned goodies. What homemade gifts do you love to give and receive?

Your Lab should start to mellow about 3 years and that's being hopeful on my part. We have been getting the deep freeze in my area of the country as well and it's record breaking. -19*F at the worst and still not above freezing for the last 2 weeks. Pipes froze and broke at my place. Today was a...

www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/19/china-corn-gmo-idUSL2N0J31QG20131119 I find this very interesting. Personally I choose to not purchase GMO products and don't be fooled by the organic label. It's far too easy to have GMO pollen drift in crops that are grown organically. Every harvest would...

Yummy Thank You. I have Granny Smiths, Cameos and Fuji apples that should make a nice mix.

I love the idea and making memories is much better. I would love a planter box from an old pallet hmmm must give a hint to DH.

My vote is "Me & My Self Sufficient Family"

You are truly lucky with that renter Britesea. I am not wanting to be a landlord but I do want to have enough income from the property to pay the taxes every year. With good planning I should be able to do that at the seasonal Farmers Market . If I put enough into the house to have a...

Do you have a recipe for the apple pie jam? It sounds wonderful Emerald, what a nice gift for me to add to my holiday giving.

Applesauce, lots of applesauce and the house smells wonderful.

Well I actually spent money but the savings are huge. I went to a storage unit sale and the unit was 20x40 totally packed with food storage. I'm talking beans, millet, wheat, rye, whole corn, lentils, split peas ect. This was a giant hoard of nitrogen packed commercially canned everything known...

Same here hard boil.

Yum I want pizza now. What a great idea to freeze the crust ahead of time and save myself some money at the take and bake place. Although I get their cheesy bread for $4 and dress it up with whatever topping we like for our budget pizza night.
