Strawberry season is starting here and that means a lot of work but lots of treats at the end of it! I gave up picking our own berries quite a few years back because we need so many, so now I just pre-order a couple of flats from a local farm and go from there. I usually make about 4 or 5 batches of freezer jam, 2 or 3 batches of cooked jam, a fresh berry pie (sooo good: fresh berries piled up in a baked homemade crust, then covered with a homemade strawberry glaze), a cooked pie, plus lots of leftover berries to eat & freeze.
In anticipation of all that berry hoopla I made this 12x12 scrapbook layout in advance. There's room for a nice 5x7 photo of the berries, plus three 3x3 photos of the end results - jam, pie, maybe a kid eating a berry! I have been scrapbooking for almost 10 years so the things we do every year get more challenging to scrap in a new way. This page is a cute reminder of the process of strawberrying in our home without having to do much journaling.
The Bachelorette: I am so excited and surprised that Ed came back! He was my favourite from the beginning and I was really disappointed when he left...maybe this will work out after all!?
