Homemade Girl Scout Samoas

Good morning! How is everyone today?

It's Girl Scout Cookie time again! Don't you hate when you can't get them again until next year? Well, here's your solution. In my world wide web travels I managed to  stumble upon a wonderful blog with some pretty fantastic recipes (Shannon at sorumblyinmytumbly.blogspot.com). Best of all, she has given us the opportunity to enjoy homemade Girl Scout cookies all year long.  Her homemade versions of Thin Mints, Do-Si-Dos, Tagalongs and my hubby's favorites Samoas.  Check it out here:

A big thank you to Shannon for sharing all of your recipes with us! (I've already tried her strawberry cream cheese croissants and they were awesome!)

Hope your Wednesday is wonderful. See ya soon!

The Bachelor and Redneck Wine Glasses

Good morning!  Hope everyone is well. I wish that I could say that I am. I've been fighting a terrible cough and cold - the darn thing just wants to hang on forever! So I haven't been feeling the best and many of my projects have fallen behind as a result.....

My hubby and I have been watching The Bachelor this season. We really liked Ben from the Bachelorette and felt bad for him when Ashley turned his proposal down. So we were happy to hear that he was going to be the next Bachelor. I don't know how many of you watch, but what about that Courtney?  Do you love her or hate her?  For us, she's in the hate category. I really do not want him to end up with her, but I've got this bad feeling that it will go that way!!!!!  I think he and Lindzi are a so much better suited couple.

And speaking of Lindzi, did any of you catch that they were drinking their wine in Redneck Wine Glasses? I thought that was awesome! So in honor of Lindzi and Ben and their hometown date, I thought I'd give you the heads up on making your very own redneck wine glasses - super easy, super inexpensive, and in my opinion super cute!  You know what to do - follow my link here:

To all of you......

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope your day is sweet!

See ya soon.

Happy T.G.I.F. to everyone!

I was browsing on pinterest a couple of days ago and I came across this recipe.  It looks so yummy and seems simple to make - I knew immediately I had to pass it along to you.  Couldn't you just grab a spoon and dig right in? I know my family would love this - wouldn't yours?

A quick thank you to Mandy at mandysrecipebox.blogspot.com for sharing this recipe with us.  Want the 'scoop'?  You know how - follow my link!

Dig Drop Done - A Must for Spring

Good morning!

Here in NC we are having a very mild winter.  We recently enjoyed temperatures in the low 70's.  It is evident that the temps are warm since I noticed that my daffodils have come up and are starting to bud. Even for North Carolina, I think it's a little early for that!

All of this brings me to today's post.  I happened across a terrific site for planting and caring for bulbs.  With spring right around the corner, the timing couldn't have been more perfect.  So I knew I had to pass it along to all of you!  Go here to see what it's all about:

Dig Drop Done

I promise you won't be disappointed that you took the time to go! Wonderfully informative, fantastic inspiration as you can see above and even videos! Check it out!

Have a great day and we'll chat soon.

Awesome DIY Flip Flop Hangers

Good morning!

Another month almost under our belts - WOW - doesn't it seem like January is just flying by?  Before we know it summer will be here! And speaking of summer, today's 'how-to' will be much needed when summer comes.

For all of you who don't use pinterest or haven't been invited yet, I am sharing a post from there that I think is just brilliant!  This is just the ticket if you have a BUNCH of flip flops like me.  It appears easy to do and certainly keeps them better organized than being all over the house! Love this idea, don't you?  

Well, if you love it as much as I do then follow my link to see how it's done! Big thanks to Jen at epbot.com for giving us the tutorial!

So what are you waiting for - summer will be here before you know it!

Have a wonderful Wednesday - see ya soon!

Valentine's Day Sour Cream Container Treat

Good morning!  It's Friday - Hurray!!!!!!


Today is again geared toward Valentine's Day.  These sour cream containers are so easy to make and very cute when done!  I did them last year for my son's class at school.  I just happened upon this tutorial the other day and thought I'd pass it on to you.  Sarah even did a video!  You'll be surprised how simple these little treats are to make!  Follow my link to Sarah's blog to see how it's done.

T-Shirt Shag Rug

Hi!  I hope your day is going well so far.

I totally love this project.  If you have t-shirts that have seen better days this is the prefect way to upcycle them!  I think this would be awesome as a bathmat - soft jersey material under your feet!  I was going to use my son's old T's to make t-shirt yarn, but I just might have to take a few and make this rug for in my bathroom!

Thanks to Ginny over at ragsbysockmonkey.blogspot.com for sharing this tutorial!

Cute, huh? I hope you enjoy making your very own.

Have a great day!  See ya soon.

Love Juice Valentines - CUTE

Good Afternoon! A big birthday goes out to my friend Michele and her husband Rich.  Today is their birthday - and yes you read that right - husband and wife with the same birthday! And they are only a year apart in age! So big wishes go out to them today.

February is right around the corner and I've begun thinking of Valentine's Day. So today's post is an idea for your kiddos classmates.  I have done this in the past and they turned out very nice and were relatively inexpensive to do even for a larger class of children.  Wanna know how - go here:

Love Juice Valentines

Are they sweet?  Thanks to Kalleen of atsecondstreet.blogspot.com for the printable as well as for showing us how!!


Have a super day and I'll see ya soon!

Crocheted Yo Yo Easter Bunny

Good Morning!  I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

My last post was for Easter and so is today! I wanted to get it posted so you would have time to complete it without being rushed.


So without further ado - if you're looking for a cute crochet project for Easter, this is the one!  I've made this bunny and it is very easy and quite cute when done.  When I made it I used different colors than the pattern calls for - I liked pastels - but as with any pattern you can use whatever color combination you like!

The pattern is a free download at free-crochet.com. Just follow my link to get there!  Crocheted Yo Yo Bunny

Don't you know someone who would love to have this in their Easter basket?

Hope you day is terrific.  See ya soon!
