Christmas In July Package Train!!! Read Post 3242!!! (pg 217)

[gwennad]

Junior buddies gifts are wrapped. I didn't run out of tape or wrapping paper! But I have to say, my mother would be disappointed lol, I know she taught me how to wrap better.

Off to Shoppers this morning for the 20x the points, I need to get my points build back up! Might stop at metro as well. I need more fruits and veggies. The 5-year-old next door asked me if I have a baby in my tummy... guess I really better do something about that extra belly. Once I put down the chocolate I ate to make myself feel better of course The weather looks pretty nice today so we'll hopefully get out for a nice long walk too.

Happy weekend!

I see a couple of people asked about the tomato jam, I had also never heard of it until my mom made it (trust me, it is better that way, canning and boiling jars scares me). Most people use it in place ketchup and when it is cooking it smells a lot like ketchup. I guess the best way to describe it is a ketchup but made into a jam you don't use a lot of it but everyone seems to love it, my mom has gotten quite a few people hooked on it.

Good morning all! Conked out early last night....ahh don't you love the weekends? Just thought I would say a quick good morning before I head off to shoppers to get me some 20x the points.

So I would be interested in the habanero jam, bacon jam and tomato sauce. I am hoping to start canning this summer but something is nibbling on my tomato plants already. Gotta go get something to spray on sprinkle on them for whatever bugs are enjoying them.

I'm so mad, I planted some swiss chard as I use that in my nutribullet and something is eating that too!! Anyone with a green thumb with any advice, please let me know how to salvage them. My garden is in peril this year it seems. Thanks ladies!!

Yes! We look forward to them every year when they come out, they smell AMAZING. It's not a strong coconut flavour, I like to use hazelnut creamer with mine and it's just a yummy smelling creamy cup of goodness. It's a light roast, but I find that the Green Mountain light roast flavored coffees are good and have enough flavour whereas I find the Van Houtte light roast flavored coffees are too weak for us. I ordered the Green Mountain English Toffee too that just showed up on the website, so we'll see how that one goes...

I baked it and left for a meeting this morning and came home to this beauty

Well buddy, I accept hugs and kisses! Why am I telling you this?!?! Well, because you are going to want to do both to me when you open your prezzies from me. I found your 2 most wanted wishes and a wish that said you would love me forever if I found it.... Yup, that's the kind of day I have had.

On another note, I picked Cherie up another surprise boarding pass today too (HINT: someone should host another small & simple train) HAHAHAHA!

Buddy I think I am done your package, just waiting for my online order to come in.

Now to work on the homemade item, I know what I want to do and it seems like something I can do but last time I used the skills needed to complete was 6 or 7 years ago. Any craft skill is like riding a bike right? you never forget?
