Wedding Gift... Personalized Decorations!

 My friend Missy, pictured here, is painting the R that she traced from the Wooden Name she is making.  Our Friends Mandy and Matt just got married last Saturday. congrats!

 Here's the bag.  Turned out so cute~!

 Next we painted the edges of the letters with acrylic black paint.

 Then we Mod Podged the Scrapbook paper, that we cut out, to the letters. ....

I had a little time, so I did these two letters as well.  I liked them both!

 Close up of the red texture.

 I love how this turned out. It matches their living room. The black is a velour and the red has a nice design to it. Not overbearing. Awesome! Missy packed it in her bag with the personalized R on it.
Sweet!

Congrats Matt and Mandy Reynolds on your Marriage!  As soon as the pictures are up of their wedding on Amy and Jeremiah Photography, I'll let you know!

Ahh...I finally made a Quiche. It's been awhile since I whipped up some eggs and tossed them in the oven.

 She is at this bookcase several times a day talking to the books. Hopefully she'll be as excited to read them when she gets older!  If they were plants, they'd probably get bigger. ;)  
Now Claire, find me my recipe book?

Helful Tip

Renew your lips using your chapstick and toothbrush.  

Put on chapstick and use your toothbrush to scrub your lips. Repeat until all dry skin is off. Rinse your lips and dry with a wash cloth. Add more  chapstick.  Its not Mary Kay's Stuff, but it's pretty amazing. Enjoy!

For the Little Ones...Homemade Baby food

yum

Just when I thought $0.59 for a jar of Baby food wasn't bad, I saw a whole jar of natural applesauce for $1.29!

This ice tray is ready for the freezer. I did fresh pineapple, applesauce, peas, and mango. I didn't have my carrots cooked, or I would have put those in the mix too.  My "little Oscar" pureed this up real nice.

Once frozen, I can put them in a Ziploc freezer bag and take out what I need. They also won't stick together, being already individually frozen.  I'll just add some meat and pasta, potato, or cereal to this.

I also filled some cleaned baby jars with a banana, apple, mango mixture for the refrigerator. Ready to go!

Homemade Sloppy Joes

So, normally, I'm not a Sloppy Joes fan.  Anyone mentions them, and all I can think is, what's on the side??...please say pasta! 

However, this recipe makes me want to eat them every week.

Ingredients:

1 1/2lbs Ground beef

1/4 Onion, diced

2 Cloves Garlic, minced 

3/4 Cup Ketchup

3/4 Cup Water

1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

1 Tsp. Chili Powder

1 Tsp. Dijon Mustard

1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

2 Dashes of Worcestershire Sauce

2 Tbsp. Tomato Paste

4 Dashes Tabasco Sauce

Salt and Pepper to taste

Butter

Rolls

Prep:

Brown ground beef till no longer pink. Drain most of fat and add onions and garlic. Cook for a few minutes.  Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir and cover. Simmer for 10-15 Minutes. 

In the meantime, butter rolls and toast on a frying pan. 

Spoon Joes onto the rolls. This recipe is great, 'cause you most likely will have all the ingredients on hand. Enjoy!
