Print the banner page multiple times to determine the length you want.  Hope your Memorial Days are filled with relaxation and family time.  Enjoy.

{recipe & free printable} Blueberry Blackberry Lime Jam

WOW! I'm not usually a lover of jam, but this jam gave me jelly legs!

Blueberry Blackberry Lime Jam

Yields: about 6 half-pints

• 3 Cups blueberries
• 1.5 Cups blackberries
• 1 Tablespoon grated lime peel
• 1/3 Cup lime juice
• 5 Cups sugar
• 1 package powdered pectin

Crush the blueberries and blackberries one layer at a time. Combine crushed berries and powdered pectin in a large sauce pot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Stir in grated lime peel and lime juice. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner.

Here's the gist of canning--

Of course I can't leave you without a FREE PRINTABLE.  If you plan on making this jam you may download specific jam labels HERE.  Or you can download generic jam labels HERE.

{free printable} New Bachelorette Bingo Cards

For whatever reason some of you have been having difficulties downloading and printing the bachelorette bingo cards.  I hope this new download helps.  There are a couple of ways to go about downloading and printing the cards.  First is to download from HERE.  Second is to right click the image below and print.  These new cards are actually better, and allow for infinite players.  Hand your guests their bingo cards with a pair of scissors and a glue stick and they each make their own unique bingo cards.  Guests can omit certain sayings/actions and add in their own as well. 

 

Hope this helps ladies.  Sorry it's taken awhile to get this done.  We were out camping with the family and I'm sure you can all agree family takes precedence :)  For those of you having a big hoopla bachelorette party, I would love love LOVE to see your pictures.  Happy bachelorette partying tonight-- it looks like it's going to be a good season.

You can download your new bingo cards HERE.

{free printables} ABC Bachelorette Premiere Party Printables

Do you watch ABC's Bachelor/Bachelorette? I do. Although, I would have never thought about throwing a party with printables until I received an email requesting it.  It's the silliest printable I've ever made, but it was FUN!

 Printable package includes:

• 25 Cupcake Toppers/Party Circles (with each guy's face and name on it)
• Welcome sign (with picture of Chris Harrison)
• Banner with words, "who will she pick?"
• Picture of bachelorette herself with the words, "will Ashley find love?"
• 10 unique BINGO cards (with common phrases and actions to identify)

**Please keep in mind the actual pictures of the guys and Ashley were taken from the ABC website so the quality is not the greatest, but I think it will print up alright.  Sorry ladies.  I wish I had their photos in high resolution, but alas I'm not sure ABC network would give those out. ;)

Hope you enjoy these fun printables!  Download HERE.

{tutorial} Super Hero Shirts with Velcro Capes

 

Well, that's the cutest superhero I've ever seen if I do say so myself!  These superhero shirts with velcro capes are the simplest sewing project-- even the most beginner sewer can manage these. Promise.  The only sewing required is to attach four pieces of velcro and you could even do that by hand stitching if you don't have a machine.

Coming soon...

My son's first birthday is just around the corner and I've been creating an entire BUG/INSECT party printable.  I plan to make it available to all who want it over on my Etsy site.  Stay tuned as I add more bug party printables and party details.

{free printable} "Hello New Neighbor" Tags

Besides the packing and unpacking aspect of moving I HATE not knowing my neighbors. I shouldn't complain too much-- my husband's company moved us entirely and I practically sat back picking at my split ends. Anywho, I grew up in a town where you knew EVERYONE on your street and I LOVED it! So when we moved to New Mexico from Utah and into our new house I was eager to get out and meet everyone.
