Merry Christmas In July~

Im just getting around to posting. I have been enjoying Christmas in July this month. Ive been trying to do something Christmassy everyday (even if its only a little something.... :o)
Ive watched lots of Christmas movies this month. Worked on a few crafts and tried a few Christmas recipes that Im considering using for holiday get togethers this year.

Ive been working a lot on my Holiday Notebook ( I would be lost without it)

A recipe Im going to try out this week is a gift in a jar recipe. Its one Im considering giving to family and friends if I like the way it turns out. I will be sure to let you know what I think of them.... Heres the recipe...

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
