That is why Mom's like me search for cheaper way to entertain our children during the summer. Helen Fang compiled an awesome list of "DIY tips and tricks".

Carmel Pop Corn!!!

So after having just pain carmel, and then making the fudge with marshmallows and carmel in it and then the carmel apples I decided that Carmel Pop Corn would be so good!!
This one is an easy one. I popped a bag of microwave pop corn and then warmed up about 1/2 cup of the carmel that I had left over from making Carmel Apples and just mixed it in really good! Oh man was it good!!!!

Puppies

 Our little puppies are now 4 weeks and 7 days old. And they are developing the very one playful personalities! What fun it is to watch them grow.

This is the little boy.

Carmel Apples YUMMY!!

 So we used the amazing Carmel recipe that Chirssy and Kevin gave us. Follow the directions but let it heated it to 239 degrees and pulled it off the heat and let it cool 10 mins and then started dipping and place on a piece buttered wax paper. Let the Carmel set/ cool and the dipped ad drizzled chocolate and sprinkled candy pieces on them.

This where so good!!!! I hope you all try them :)

It's done!

My 4 ft round poke a dot rug is finished I am so excited to get up in the morning and package this beautiful rug to send it off to it's purchaser!

Just over 5 weeks ago this rug was not a rug. It was many different t shirts hanging in a thrift store longing for someone to buy them. After a great deal of time and hard work the shirts have been cut and re-purposed into this beautiful rug. I can't wait for this rug to make it to it's new home.

More Rug Creations!

This Little Beauty was a custom order it was 1 1/2 foot by 1 1/2 foot for a smaller bathroom. It also had a not slip backing put on the back. I loved how simple a small yet beautiful it was.

The above rug was just a fun idea I had in my head that just would go away so I made it :)

These heart and guitar rugs where a rush order I made for twins! We loved the rugs so much I might have to make one like them for my kids.
