Crock pot buffalo chicken lettuce wraps

I love buffalo sauce and I love crock pot recipes so this was right up my alley!!

I used Frank's red hot buffalo sauce which is a bit different then the recipe but was great!

Here is the recipe I followed

Cupcake crayons

For this post I had a little bit of help from my friends Stephanie and Sophie. Who am I kidding I had a lot of help they did the whole thing! ;D

They took old broken up crayons that were doomed for the trash and turned them into new ones!

I thought this was a great idea and will do this someday when I have children of my own.

Here is the how to guide.

Turkey Herb Meatballs

I was getting bored with the standard ground turkey recipes so this one caught my eye and turned out great!

This is the recipe I followed

I just used the only green leafy stuff I had which was baby spinach and I spiced it up with Italian seasoning, oregano, and dried bay leaves. I also used two cloves of garlic which gave the meatballs a great flavor kick!

I served the meatballs over spaghetti and also over sautéed red skin potatoes and steamed broccoli. So yummy!

I will be making these more! Enjoy!!

Retro picture upcycle

This is not my best Pin but it's not awful so we won't call it a complete fail.

First thing I would do differently is not make the coat of paint so thick. I would keep it light so the picture shows through a little bit.

The second thing I would do differently would be to peel the letters a bit slower because a few that I peeled off ripped the painting beneath.

And the third and final thing would be to draw a straight line across the painting where I want the letters to make sure they are all straight. The letters are a bit crooked but oh well!

I followed this link and took the authors advice and used spray paint and none of the paint bled into my letters. One thing I did right :)

Here is the finished product, doesn't look to bad once it is placed in my bedroom.

Sam thought this project was a bit boring...

This is when I should have stopped painting but instead I put another coat.

Bleach stain T-Shirt

This was a great project for an old shirt with a stain on it.

I don't have a cricket cutter so I just printed the design out on regular computer paper and cut it out with a box cutter. I'm could have also used contact paper but I didn't have any on hand but I was still happy with the end result.

This is the site I followed for guidance and I printed the design out from.

Homemade dotting tool

This one is self explanatory and works just as good as those $8 dotting tools you can find at Sally's. Just find a pin and stick it into a pencil eraser. You can even vary the needle heads to vary the size dot it creates


Then I used this dotting tool to create the heart on my nail. Turned out pretty nice and was easy to do!

This is the tutorial I used for the heart

Easy eggs!

I love this recipe! It is great to make ahead of time and just grab in the morning before work.

These are the ingredients I choose to use but really you could use anything you want.

I used six eggs because I had a muffin tin that made six muffins, I did not measure any thing that I added. easy enough right?

I sprayed the muffin tin with olive oil spray so the mixture would not stick, then I just poured the mixture into the muffin tin.

Then baked it in the oven for 30 minutes at 375 degrees,  they really popped up!

Topsy tail with a messy bun!

Pinterest strikes again!

This is a great hairstyle, and super easy to do which isn't normally the case with Pinterest hairstyles.

I do not have cute bangs like the original poster so I started with my hair curly so I had something to frame my face, I must say it worked pretty good for me :) of course with any up-do it always works better with dirty hair.

Silk Dyed Eggs

Easter has past but this is a great project for next year. I think it is a ibit more work then your normal egg dying steps but it is different and unique. 

These are the instructions I followed.

Step one:  Wrap the eggs in silk.

Step two: Wrap the eggs in light cloth, just like you did the silk.

Step three: Boil for twenty minutes, I put the eggs in cold water and brought them to a boil to keep the eggs from cracking just like I would any other time i am hard boiling eggs.

Step four: Let eggs cool and unwrap, then snap lots of photos!!

This egg was my favorite, and it was actually created by being wrapped in the lining of one of the ties :)

Upcycled T-shirt Necklace

Yay! To my first post!!

This was super easy to do, I plan on doing it again maybe with multiple colored T-Shirts or add some beads to give it some extra pop!

Here is the link to the instructions I followed
