That headline was for all you Beastie Boys fans out there. Shout out.
But that's not what I'm talking about. I really am CRAFTY after all! I said last week how I'm in crafty mode, but not really doing anything about it... well I did something about it! Check out this cute little Halloween countdown thingie I made with some friends this week (thanks for hosting Rochelle!).
And I canned pears ALL BY MYSELF! Julie, I broke in your pressure canner very nicely. You can now tell your mom it's been put to good use. I didn't even need Wyndi to help. OK I actually DID need Wyndi, but I struggled through with a couple of phone consulations, the Internet and only ended up with one second-degree burn on my left arm. Five hours yielded only 14 quarts of pears. Worth it? Yes. I bet my mom is so proud of me.

It turned out great. I love the Halloween version of the craft. I'm planning on making the Christmas version next month, but now I'm sad we don't have the option for this one!
Very Cute!!! You know your always welcome to come along on our Crafting Retreats. I wish we weren't all so far away. :( Thanks for the ideas. Have a great week!
They look great....good for you. We'll be over to check out the results in another two months. Don't eat them all before then. Dad LOVES canned fruit.
