Hey, Ya'll,

Ahhh...yeah...so last month I completely dropped the ball and didn't get an e-zine put together. I am a 1 woman show and I just can't do everything. I've been doing LOTS of painting and decluttering around here and it has been taking up all my spare time which is usually what I use for scrapbooking.

Sauerkraut Making

Well, I asked for votes in one of my recent YouTube videos and I got a vote for a layout about sauerkraut making. So, here we go...I grew up eating kraut that my Grandparents made. They are from Germany/Latvia so they've made it for years. I became more interested in it in the last year for health reasons...you know, all those good probiotics...so I got out my Nourishing Traditions book and gave it a try. I've made 3 different batches in the last year and talked with my Grandmother about it a lot and the journaling for this layout talks a lot about all these things. I wish I had a good photo of my Grandparents making it old style with their shredder and stone crocs...I used my food processor and glass jars which worked just fine but it would have been cool to have the 2 photos side by side...but I just did the best I could. At least I have the story recorded. : )

Supplies:

The paper is from a paper pack I got at Michaels called Mosaic Memories by Recollections.

I used foam alphabet stamps for the title and the flourish stamp is a clear cling stamp from a sheet I got at Michaels (also the Recollections brand I thing?)
