Giveaway! Give away? One word? Two? Ack!



Well hi there! Thought I could interest you in a free drawing for a vintage glass beaded necklace?It is a beauty, but unfortunately not my size or color or style. I'm a tree trunk-neck-not yellow-tee shirt wearing kind of girl...this is far too glamous for me! If you're interested in receiving a restrung vintage necklace leave a comment and I'll pick from the huge amounts of people that visit my blog next Sunday 7-13-08. The necklace measures 23" long. ***Make sure you leave your email address so I can let you know you're the winner!***
In other news: I'm a huge copycat! I too made freezer jam this year... I went strawberry picking with a friend last weekend and worked on freezer jam twice this week. I picked 10 quarts of berries and didn't mean to make it all into jam. But I got carried away with the food processor and before I knew it! Ops! I processed it ALL! All 10 quarts! I did manage to put some plain and slightly sugared berries in the freezer so as well as having fresh jam we also can have some yummy strawberry shortcake anytime we want...as long as you don't mind it chewed up by the food processor! I also didn't get a single good picture, I was playing

with the functions on my camera I have no idea what c1 and c2 mean...but they don't take good pictures that's for sure! So admire the colors, and ignore the lack of focusing.

Hey, I live in Maine too! In Waterville-I gotta agree those strawberries looked good. We bought some last week from a vendor and boy did they go fast in this house! Thanks for having the giveaway! Nice meeting another Mainer!

Wow ... thanks for sharing this necklace!

That necklace is gorgeous, and unlike you, it is just my style! Lol. Sounds like you had quite the jam-making adventure. At least you'll have enough to last you awhile. The problem I have when I make jam, is that it usually doesn't last out the week!
