I thought i would share some things I didn't submit to the magazine challenge. I decided to keep and give as heart felt gifts this year. This is a pouch to put items in, I am including a few family favorite recipes and a gift card to a restaurant or bakery, or maybe both. I thought the personal touch would mean more. I also made a memo frame.
This is a frame with removable corners, you could change the background if you wished. I added cloth covered elastics to hold memos, lists, and/or small notes. It will set up like a normal 8x10 photo.
I enjoyed creating for the challenge, but with the holidays coming, I couldn't part with these. I hope I made the right decision.
I listed some vintage finds in my ETSY store today. Another formula to figure out, what sells, how to brand one's self, etc. I know it is hard work, but filled with heart! I think you are fortunate, if you can do what you love and be successful, even if it is just a toe in the doorway of your dreams! It is a soul filled gift~
Tomorrow, I will be passing on some Pick me Up's(awards I have hoarded and need to pass on)

I created the fuzzy boa type scarves for the little girls who really loved them. I've never been a fancy knitter or in my crocheting, but I make fun and also useful items that are as much fun for me as I hope it is for them to receive as well. In my opinion homemade means someone really cared!
Wanda-It is true, but not always an easy path to follow. Or perhaps I should say it is easy to get sidetracked, sometimes~
Fill a medium kettle 3/4 full of green tomatoes sliced,a small bag of onions,about 10 small in size, 1 cabbage, 6 green bell peppers and 2 red bell peppers. You will have to place all of this in large pot(recipe did say kettle).
Cut the green tomatoes in small 1 inch pieces, add pickling salt between the layers, there will be 4 layers(tomatoes, then salt, cabbage some more salt, peppers, salt and then onions salt) Cover let this set over night on a kitchen table(no heat). In the morning drain the excess liquid. Cover with 3-4 quarts of vinegar, 5 lbs of sugar, l tbsp of pickling spice. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Then ladle into sterilized jars. When tepid, put in fridge.
