Another year behind us…
It’s been a busy one. So many projects using a wide variety of media. These are a few of my favorites.
Have a happy and safe New Year! Best to you in 2015.

This is definitely not a new craft…but it was a new one for me. I hang on to all our old cards. They are so pretty I can’t bear throwing them in the recycle bin.
Of course, Pinterest played a big part in me actually creating one of these. Ah, Pinterest… How much time I spend with you… The thousands of pins we share… Time organizing and reorganizing when I should be organizing the real things in my life.
Maybe this is a better clue to the size.
It was created with a 1.25″ punch.
The green one on the left. My neighbor borrowed the blue 2″ punch. I’m curious how much exponentially bigger another one will be with that punch. Yes I’m aware I could do the math…but I’ll just give it a whirl in the physical dimension and compare. Results to follow…soon.
Unless I’m crushed under all the Christmas goodies I’ve been making…
These are just from this morning. I’m getting a sugar rush just smelling them.
I’m getting to the point that just thinking about eating any of it just doesn’t sounds appealing. Just like when I worked at Baker’s Square when I was a teen…when you are around pies, cookies and muffins all day long…you have desire to eat any.

Hey it’s Tuesday already….seems all I’m doing with my blog is T stands for Tuesday. I’ve got to do something about that! Although I did finally finish and post my 2014 Summer Scavenger Hunt wrap-up…so I haven’t been completely lackadaisical with my blog.
By the way, did anyone notice I changed the background of my blog? I’m thinking that a little more change is due but haven’t given it any brain cells yet.
See now I’m trying to justify things for you and me…silly girl. Anyway…on to the jam!
A while back I mentioned that I’d be making some Yellow Pear Tomato Jam with these babies… I’ve only made jam once before.
I was skeptical at this stage as to whether the jam would ever turn out. It seemed so juicy and not thick. It definitely cooked down though.
Ta-da…the finished product. It’s a cross between a jam and a sauce in my opinion but that works just fine for pouring over Brie for a yummy appetizer.
This is the recipe I used: spicy yellow tomato jam. I think I’d back off on the sugar a bit or add more jalapenos and maybe add pectin to thicken it a bit.
Just got back from a 3.5 mile walk with my friend….lost my favorite stocking hat with tassels. I’m going to have to retrace my steps.
What are you doing today?
