Projects

Since moving in Colby and I have had fun with a few projects together.

Our new place has a bar instead of a kitchen table, so we needed to get BAR STOOLS. Instead of taking the easy way and just buying some good stools, we decided to save a little money and have some fun by buying unfinished bar stools at IKEA and finishing them ourselves. I ahd helped my Dad do ours a few years ago so felt confident to take on this project. We headed to Home depot and got our materials only to have them sit until we had bits and pieces of time. Slowly, but surely, our barstools are reaching the finishing stages. Hopefully they are done by the time Mom and Dad are here!!

Before we were married Colby found a GREAT deal on strawberries at Sam's so bought them to make FREEZER JAM. He cored them and froze them so we could make the jam together. This past weekend we made 9 jars of amazing freezer jam. Half was strawberry and the other half was a fresh raspberry and strawberry mix. YUM...
