challenge success

SO, do you all remember the {challenge} i gave myself last year?  yeah, well i can't believe that the year has come and gone.  it turned out to not be as much of a challenge as i thought. and for that i'm slightly disappointed.  (only slightly) seems that removing any canned items in my house didn't traumatize anyone and i really enjoyed the process of learning to can my own food.  there's something so rewarding about going into the storage "pantry" and pulling out a jar of something you spent your time and love doing.  i'm grateful that i decided to take this challenge head on and come out the other side healthier and happier.  now on to another year of canning!

                              just look at this yummy goodness.
                                       

                    so very very beautiful.
