Silk Screen Glass Jar Gift & Poem ~ Perfect Neighbor Gift!

Happy Monday, friends! It’s the 10th of the month and you know what that means, right?!? It’s our 10th blog hop! The theme for this month was SNOWFLAKES. I admit, it was a tricky one for me. I put it off as long as possible, called everyone I knew for ideas, and ended up deciding that the best thing to do is just take a trip to Michael’s and wander the aisles for inspiration. It worked.

This would be so fun to do with the kids! Plus, it makes a great gift... making beeswax candles.

Killer Spaghetti Sauce Recipe (Make a Lot, Freeze the Rest) (she: Jamie)

It’s one of the reasons I added this spaghetti sauce to my Food Storage Plan first, because if I had live on it for a year that wouldn’t bother me one bit!

The best part is this recipe makes a ton – so you can freeze the extra, can it for storage, give some to neighbors, or eat spaghetti sauce for a straight week (or a year, depending on how much you make)!
