Check our Facebook page in June for another giveaway of canning tags &#038; labels.  Thanks so much for entering!<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI am very excited to host this giveaway of canning goodies!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/rdpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/canning-mosaic1.jpg\" alt=\"canning-mosaic\" title=\"canning-mosaic\" width=\"610\" height=\"488\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2180\" \/><br \/>\nOne of the best instructional books I&#8217;ve read in awhile is <em>Canning and Preserving with Ashley English:  All you Need to Know to Make Jams, Jellies, Pickles, Chutneys &#038; More<\/em>.  Ashley is the blog author of <a href=\"http:\/\/small-measure.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Small Measure<\/a>, one of my favorite reads and a great tribute to homemade living.  <em>Canning &#038; Preserving<\/em> is one of her first books in a series called <strong>Homemade Living<\/strong> and it&#8217;s a terrific guide for anyone who wants to start canning.  I&#8217;ve read it cover to cover and am SO ready to begin making my own homemade goodies.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI first met Ashley through her blog, where she was having a monthly giveaway of one of the canned creations from her book.  I was the lucky winner of the September giveaway of Fig &#038; Thyme Jam.  It was so delicious that I had to send her a special thank you and I created tags for her canning jars.  That sparked the creation of my own line of canning tags &#038; labels.  I asked for Ashley&#8217;s input on what she would look for and she graciously gave me her advice in the middle of a book deadline.  I can&#8217;t thank her enough for taking the time and for sharing her expert opinion.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe giveaway includes one copy of <em>Canning and Preserving with Ashley English:  All you Need to Know to Make Jams, Jellies, Pickles, Chutneys &#038; More<\/em>, one set of 12 canning tags and one set of canning labels in the winner&#8217;s choice of design.  The giveaway will run from today until next Monday, May 10 at noon.  A winner will be selected and announced Monday afternoon.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nYou can enter the giveaway in a few different ways, but your main entry should be this:  please go to the Canning section of RiverDog Prints <a href=\"http:\/\/www.riverdogprints.com\/store\/canning-labels-and-tags\/cat_54.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and enter a comment below about the design you like the most.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFor extra entries, you may do any of the following one time and then leave a comment below:<br \/>\n:: Become a Fan\/Liker of the RDP Facebook page <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RiverDogPrints\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> (if you&#8217;re already a fan, just let me know below [and thanks!])<br \/>\n:: Subscribe to the RiverDog Prints Newsletter <a href=\"http:\/\/riverdogprints.com\/photocardblog\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><br \/>\n:: Tweet about the giveaway with this phrase &#8220;Enter the Canning giveaway from @RiverDogPrints that includes a beautiful how-to book &#038; #canning tags &#038; labels :: http:\/\/bit.ly\/anxhSa&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGood luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**Update** The giveaway has ended.
