1st Birthday Bash Party!!

In a of couple weeks I will be traveling to Kentucky to celebrate my nephew's first birthday! To help out I have been making some decorations using my cricut mini and the birthday bash cricut cartridge. Here are some pictures of the decorations at my house. More pictures to follow of the actual party!

Tarnish Removal worked!- doesn't work on my blog though!!

I'm starting to become a slacker again! I am determined to over come this though! We are still renovating our camper. Yesterday I bought some rubber roof coating to fix the motorhome roof with but go figure we are expected to have rain for a week straight! But I figured this would be a good time to remove all of the hardware and start degreasing the cabinet doors. I will blog about that once I start/ finish it :-) pinkie promise!

In the meantime, I thought I'd try and clean up one of my favorite necklaces that became tarnish from my lack of life. I only had one necklace to clean so I took a tablespoon of salt (regular table salt) and a tablespoon of baking soda and put it in a small bowl lined with tin foil and filled it with hot water. I put the necklace in for about 30 mins and was impressed with the end result. 

Cheers!

Farmer's wife wannabe

My boyfriend's grandparents were farmers and I always test myself to see if I could have been one too. It's funny to think that but I still don't know the answer. However my latest test was my first attempt at canning!! Our garden produced a plethora of tomatoes and onions so I decided to make salsa and can it. First time for both things.

It turned out well but my canning abilities were a little shaky at best! My worry was that my cans were not going to seal however eventually they all did! 

We have eaten three jars already with one of them as a dish to pass at our friend's house. They all seemed to enjoy it!

Here are my homegrown ingredients with exception of the store bought green peppers.

And here are my canned salsa afterwards! Yummy!

Next thing I want to make is some soft warm pita bread to dip it in!! Yummy!
