It's National Honey Month!

September is a month that generally haunts me. I want it to be wonderful - enjoy the perks of college football and school in session - but generally it seems the same as August: hot, bland, and disappointing.

But here's something to look forward to - September is National Honey Month! I love honey and use it in all sorts of ways.

Make sure to visit the honey locator to see what honey is available near you. When I was living in Nashville I had really bad allergies every year, but when I ate honey from my area, I promise it helped.

Ooooh - Fun with Modge Podge

I want to do this:

but with other items cut out from magazines. I think it would look neat. Check out how to do it here.
I would put it in our living room, perhaps with big letters to spell out JOINER.

Also, check these rope walls out. Rope Walls? Yes!
