Fun Purse Idea

I stumbled across this little project last night and I thought it was something fun the everyone can help pitch in. With summer fast approaching, I know that my family is out having picnics as much as possible...even if it's on our back porch...and on just about every one of those outings, we have "juiceboxes" as our refresher drink (I also carry H2O with us to stay hydrated in our Texas heat). This little tutorial is not only fun for the kids to watch as you create something they used, but it will also show them how recycling can be fun and useful. For instructions on how to make this, click here.

Spring Flowers brings Bright Colors!

If I could change my girls room up monthly I would love too...but time and children won't allow it. Right now my girls bunk together and for the last 3 years they have had the same theme going...even with all our many moves. You would think I would just change a few things here and there but nope, not me. Here is my motivational theme for the girls for this summer. I found everything here . The inspiration for this came from the Girls Room Key West collection and the Island Surf collection. I plan to mimic the look myself...everything but the paintings because I can NOT paint worth a penny. There is no room for creativity in that department.

Crockpot Recipe

I really enjoy cooking but this last week has been so busy that I've had to pull out my trusty crockpot to help me out. I know some people think that crockpot cooking is limited to a few basic meals but that is so wrong. Tonight we are having roast and to be honest...I prefer the taste and tenderness that the slow cooker offers. So for those of you who want to try out my version of this recipe...here it is.

Ingredients:

Any cut of roast that you prefer

Potatoes, celery, onion and carrots-cut up

1 can of cream of celery or mushroom

1 pkg Lipton onion soup

1/2 cup water

Cook on low heat for 10-12 hours. Enjoy! YUMMY!

Working...Working...Working

I have been super busy this past week...hence the lack of posting. This past week has been filled with restocking the stores that showcase my items, finishing up all my orders and getting prepared for Kindergarten graduation. That is all done in what little "extra" time I have left at the end of the day. LOL! With only 3 orders left to complete...I will start working on all the new items for my upcoming festival. I've tapered down on all my custom order so that I can relax and let the creative side of my brain work because I was having the hardest time deciding something unique, yet affordable, to make and what not to make. But...I've gotten ALOT of wonderful feedback from some awesome people. Here is an adorable twirl skirt that was recreated for a customer in a different color pink. As always, I love custom orders so if you ever need anything, just let me know! XOXO
