I even went back to bed this afternoon, that is not like me. I'm sure that by tomorrow I will feel better . . . I think that my problems are related to pushing myself too much. I am older now and need to learn to balance my life a bit better. My body tells me I'm ageing, but my brain still thinks I'm a young woman, LOL.

That will be so cozy this winter. The jam looks so yummy. I love raspberry anything! It is pretty to look at as well. Good deals on the Goodwill finds and they look perfect in your kitchen. I haven't been thrifting in a while! Enjoy your Sunday evening my friend.

It's my space, so I do not have to consider the tastes and comforts of other family members. I just use lots of color and lots of mixed matched stuff and try to bring it all together in a fun way that makes me happy when I walk through the door :) I wouldn't want my house to look like this, but out there, I'm in my own little world, LOL Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-72772953733489102092016-06-26T07:58:11.354-07:002016-06-26T07:58:11.354-07:00Hi Nancy, regular sure-jell that's the way I w...Hi Nancy, regular sure-jell that's the way I went. It's the only thing that I had ever tried and it always works, so why change. I've been keeping my eyes open for an old sled for years, so I was excited to find this one. I've seen them priced as high as $75, but I knew if I kept looking that one would come along that was more in a price I was willing to pay. I'll be decorating it for Christmas, for sure :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-60970896023961659642016-06-26T07:50:31.760-07:002016-06-26T07:50:31.760-07:00I don't rearrange the way I did when I was you...I don't rearrange the way I did when I was young, but I still do it a lot out in the barn. It is amazing how much more storage and space you can come up with, by moving things around. The only thing out there is that I move things so much, that I forget where I've stored some items, LOL.

Did you use sure-jell? The sugarless or regular? I will be watching to see what you do with that sled as I have one downstairs and plan to take it with me when we move.
