Hope you’re ready for more Christmas because I’ve got a few projects up my sleeve that I’m trying to get done in between karate chops to my pancreas.If you have some sweet (or not so sweet) feline friends living under your roof, there’s a good chance that you’ve had to deal with them getting into house plants or flowers, or really any kind of greenery that you might have around.

No decorating skills needed!.These cute jar labels are included in the kits too!.

Speaking of jars, here’s a close of up the jars included with the kit..I washed them and then warmed them up in the canner just like it said to in the instructions.. And speaking of the canner….Isn’t it a beauty?

I thought I was a little strange for being so in love with a big pot, but then Kennedy came home from camp and said “Oooo!Did they really give this to you?” So the love of canning must be genetic..

I mixed up my simple recipe and got my canning complete in no time flat..

I may have stolen a candy or two along the way….So here’s what he used!.

He got these little inter-locking hanging things from the hardware store.. To make sure the chalkboard would sit flush on the wall, he routed out a section of the frame and put one piece in on each side..The matching pieces got mounted directly on the wall.. Ta-da!.

The finest chalkboard that ever lived!.It looks great in her room with the blue frame and we love knowing that we know that Kennedy and her friends will have years of fun ahead of them leaving messages for each other and writing “so and so wuz here” over and over again..
