<b>How:</b> I met Jessica when she bought items at a craft fair from me, she then had me make a custom shirt for one of her friends. She is a Wildcat, but her husband is a Cowboy (which I identify with a house divided) They currently live in OK which makes me a tad jealous. Jessica is super sweet and has great ideas on decorating.Home on the Range Exchangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02857899400895866277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497604638484731273.post-67363747708177425582017-11-30T08:22:00.000-06:002017-12-04T11:45:46.820-06:00Jingle Bells: TammyToday's JINGLE BELLS, MY FRIEND SELLS is ...........<br />

My afghans usually are crocheted quilt patterns so the size varies from one design to the next because part of my process is that I plot the quilt pattern on graph paper before completing a single stitch.

<br />
Who: Me, yes I am self promoting :) I was wanting to mix it up a bit and have had a few people say they aren't able to participate in my #JingleBellsMyFriendSells this year, so I am "scrambling" for a few more features.<br />
<br />
What: Handmade jewelry, custom sewing, homemade signs, etc<br />
<br />
Where: Laurel Hill connect <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gypsygewelz/">here.</a><br />
<br />
How: My family is pretty talented and has always been "crafty" so I started making items as gift, which lead to custom orders, which had me set up a Facebook page. So here we are!<br />

While it may be just for the Holidays, but I am at least back. My enthusiasm for blogging had faded and a full time job consumed my time. Then the holidays hit, I wanted to shop local, I wanted to spread goodness, happiness, and hope. This idea came to me. It had been on my heart and mind for years. Well I decided to quit waiting and make that leap.<div>

<div>
This year, starting on Black Friday, I am kicking off Jingle Bells, My Friend Sells . #JingleBellsMyFriendSells It will be a shop local promotion. I have awesome friends and quality connections I want to share with you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Each day there will be a new business, many offering a special promotion. To claim that special, tell them you saw it here on the blog. The offers expire on December 15th 2017 so don't wait to claim these great deals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is what you can expect.</div>
<div>
Who: This will be my friend</div>
<div>
What: The item(s) they sell</div>
<div>
Where: Link to their business page</div>
<div>
How: We met....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

AND its Haying Season, brome, alfalfa, prairie and more.<br />
<br />
What better way to see a glimpse of haying than that which is taking place in "The Hay Capital of the World!" Yes, that is a place and no its not a made up title. Learn a little more about The Hay Capital from my previous blog post <a href="http://homeontherangeexchange.blogspot.com/2012/02/scenic-sunday-hay-capital-of-world.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
To learn more about native/prairie hay and its nutritional value, check out <a href="http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G4575">this</a> handy publication from University of Missouri Extension. While the publication can be a little technical at times it is great at describing how to make great hay!<br />
<br />
Mowing the last 80 acres of the year. Hay shown in this video is Prairie.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The solid wooden walnut stand is perfect for perfumes and body sprays. The vintage relish tray works for pendants, rings, and pins. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was all done in an evening and cost about $1.35! I guessed on the amount for the stand and tray ( $0.25 is too much, but guess that covers the cost of my purple paint) These were in a box I bought at an auction for $1...yep, you heard me right. A whole box for $1 !!!</span><br />

I especially, love history and travel. The other day while hauling cattle to grass, CP took me to Nickeltown, he had told me about this town for years, but never had we, "made the trip"<br />
<br />
This is the only remaining building in Nickletown, The Nickeltown School.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When you google Nickeltown, KS the search comes back with usually two topics: Nickeltown School or Nickeltown Cemetery.<br />
<br />
Nickeltown is in Woodson County, KS. Through a little research I found this fun article called <a href="https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rklIAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4UgDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4596%2C5405991">Every Man To Get Office</a> in an old newspaper called the Stanstead Journal.<br />

The locals say that the school was the building that had a phone so if people broke down or needed something they would make their way to this building to make a call. Also, the oil industy and dericks around it are called, "The Nickeltown Development."</div>

<span style="background-color: #efefef; color: #1d1d1d; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">A story in the K. C. Star of recent date recalled , old memories in Woodson county. The Star said: "The glory of Nickletown, Kas., is now like the glory that was Rome's gone. Time . was when Nickletown aspired to be the county seat pi Woodson county and 'to be rated .among the flourishing country towns of Kansas. But those aspirations, along with nearly all of Nickletown's population, have departed. Nickletown, however, refuses to relinquish its identity as a real town. It: is going to .hold a town election next spring and elect regular officers. There is one cheerful feature in it for the male residents of Nickletown all of them will get offices. There are now only four families left in the town. T. Q. Allen, Frank Willis, George Cowles and Oscar Mulsow are the men flow remaining. Cowles is at present police judge. He says that office suits him and he wants to keep it. The other three have agreed to let him have his little whim gratified. So the trio all plan to run for mayor and the two losers will constitute the town council. It's up to the women to cast the deciding vote as all three men say they will vote for themselves. Jt is considered likely that the man who treats his wife best in the time between now and election will stand the rosiest chance of getting to sign Mayor after his name. Nickletown is in the northeast part of Woodson county." Commenting on this the Neosho Fajls Post says: "It was probably thirty years ago that the. northwest corner of Woodson county was settled by a colon- of Menonites from Russia. As we remember it they had a town by the name of Nikkle- town. They built sod houses and livel in them until they were able to build more substantial ones.</span></div>

I had been pinning recipes but had avoided making them thinking I might not like them and then I would have wasted all that time, effort, and ingredients</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well good new, I like them and they are EASY to make AND you probably have the ingredients on hand, I did!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 1.</b> Locate jars. I used canning jars and recycled sauce jars I had been saving. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Tip:</i></b> I have found prepping for a week makes things so much easier</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 2.</b> Gather ingredients. I had all of these ingredients, but the Chia/Flax Seed mix, which I happened to find on sale for $4/bag</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Tip: </i></b>I created a " Overnight Oats Shelf" This is where I keep all the dry, non-perishable items. Its handy to have it in one place . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The perishable/refrigerated items are again something you will probably have on hand. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> While I love real cow's milk, most Overnight Oat recipes call for Almond milk. There are less calories and I like the vanilla flavor :) Most recipes call for yogurt & a milk of some sort </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Step 3: </b>Mix. I usually mix all the dry ingredients for the recipe and then add the wet ingredients the night before. However, you can mix both and they will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this handy dandy spatula like tool a year ago and bought it because it was cool and different. Incase you didn't know. I am slightly obsessed with kitchen gadgets. Its the handiest thing for mixing in the jars. Its my Overnight Oats Tool!</span><br />
