Here a bean, there a bean, everywhere a bean bean!



Here are just a few things I've done lately. The first pictures are from my first time making funnel cakes =)







Over the last month or so we've received bags and bags of green beans. All this on top of the ones growing in our own garden. Now, I like beans, but you can only eat them so many times in a row! So I decided to freeze a bunch for the winter =)



With fall right around the corner, I have had canning on my mind! My mom baught me a canning recipe book and there are some really good looking recipes in there! Our pears should be ready in the next couple weeks, so I would like to make and can some pear chutney and pear butter.
I would also like to make peach salsa. We baught a jar at the farmers market and it was amazing, so it inspired me to make my own!

Outdoor adventures

I was watching my niece Patience earlier this week and decided we could both use some fresh air. With the weather finally getting warmer, what better time to try out the new swing we scored at a garage sale?!












You're never too young to enjoy God's beautiful creation! =)

I'm done!!






The day has finally come, after twelve long years of strenuous work and studies, I'm done with school! Now on to the next chapter of my life, which I know is written, I just haven't read it yet, because I have no idea whats next for me. There is one verse that constantly comes to mind as of late. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."






Alright, on to the projects. I haven't done too much lately due to exams, but I did do a little work in my bedroom. My mirror wasn't in the best shape, and had scratches and such around the edges. So I was trying to think of something creative to do with it. I ended up framing the mirror with black and white pictures, and I think it looks pretty sweet.

Cards








These are some cards I've made recently. The first one was a project for my grandma. She wanted a card with some of the verbs from Psalm 37, and thats what I came up with =)




I'm kind of new to the card making thing, so they're not the best, but it's a start.

Here we go

I don't know how often I'll update this, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to make one =)

I love cooking and baking, and I've recently developed a like for card making. So I'll post those things and other random happenings of my life!
