Blogidays December 16- pecans, treats and funnies

Hello everyone 

My husband has spent a lot of his recent free time picking out pecans,  He harvested 2 1/2 five gallon buckets full from trees in son Clint’s pastures.  

Most years, those native trees don’t produce much but this year they produced lots. 

 

So far,  we’ve put 4 containers in the freezer.
The container with an aqua lid is big,  it will easily hold 5 pounds of flour.  

I guess I can make about all the pecan treats we want. 

Above are some treat boxes my daughter made for coworkers.  They look yummy, don’t they? 

I started a new jigsaw puzzle.  I made sure to get the border done before grandchildren arrived yesterday.  

This is not a hard puzzle but I get annoyed by puzzles with pieces that have straight sides that aren’t part of the border 😳

  

Don’t those look like they should be in the border? 

I won a Facebook giveaway but I can’t show it yet. 

I also read on Facebook that my cousin in West Texas won this chair.  

It’s a fun looking chair but I’m glad I didn’t win it.  

What would you do with it when it’s not Christmas? 

Just a very funny joke 

And a very appropriate mug for 2020 - I don’t own it,  I just saw it for sale on Mercari 

Hope you are all well

Blogidays - December 15- YouTube channels I like to watch

I like to watch homemaking videos on YouTube.  There are so many channels to choose from and these are a few I have watched for awhile and most of these always have good videos.  

I like homemakers who show real things they are doing - not made up situations just to have something to film.  I also like calm YouTubers,  there is so much drama in the world and I prefer to watch peaceful videos.  

All of these women are homemakers but they have different style homes, different size families,  different cooking styles and live in different parts of the world.  I don’t agree with everything they say but I do learn from and am entertained by all of them.  

But they all seem “real” 

Hillary of Old World Home - she lives in New Jersey and has a beautiful home all done on a budget

Kate lives in California and would be described as a Hippie if  this was a different decade - she can go off on long winded tangents so she’s good watch when you want some thing long to play. 

She’s a vegan married to a man from India.  She gardens a lot! 

This is Lilliana, she is Portuguese and lives on a military base with her British husband and 2 sons.  I first watched her do a British grocery haul and I found it so interesting.

She does thrifting and cooking videos too.

Erika lives in Virginia and does all kind of videos from traveling to decorating to cooking.  They have done many remodeling projects too, all on a low budget.  

I subscribe to a lot of channels but these are the ones I most always watch when they have a new one. 

If you watch Youtube, please tell me who your favorite channels are.  

Merry Christmas 🎄
