Jewelry Organization

I was tired of my jewelry getting all tangled together, not being able to find what I was looking for, and forgetting what jewelry I had, so I made this with some of my good friends. It was super easy to make. I just used an old picture frame that I already had and spray painted it white and sanded it down a little. Then got the board and hooks from Home Depot and hot glue gunned it all together. You can spray paint it any fun color for you or it would be cute in a bright color for a little girls room!

Raspberry Jalapeno Jelly

Last year, I made jalapeno jelly for my neighbor Christmas gifts. We decided to try the raspberry flavor this time around and it turned out great. You just serve it over cream cheese on top of ritz crackers. This is a great appetizer for a party or pot luck. You can also give them aways as gifts! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

1c. fresh or frozen raspberries                                  3/4 c apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. chopped green bell pepper                              1/3 (6 fluid oz) container liquid pectin
1/2 c. chopped jalapeno pepper                               
3 cups white sugar

1. sterilize jars and lids
2. In a sauce pan, bring to boil  over medium heat raspberries, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, sugar and vinegar. Boil rapidly for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 min.
3. Stir in the pectin. Pour into the sterilized jars and seal. Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.

Fall Specimen Art

I fell in love with specimen art the first time I saw it on Tatertots & Jello and I decided to make my own for Fall.  I got a set of shadow boxes from Michaels, cut out some leaves on my cricut, and used foam dots to give them a bit of dimension. I love the way they turned out and I can change them out for each season.  :)

Printable Lunch Box Jokes

A few weeks ago I found some cute printable Halloween jokes online that you can put in your kids' lunch boxes.  So I printed them off for Cailyn and she absolutely LOVED them!  When Halloween was over she asked if I could make some more because apparently all her friends wanted more, too.  So of course, I obliged.  I made these ones for Thanksgiving and I will probably end up  making them for each holiday.  :)  If you want to be the coolest mom ever, just print some up and stick 'em in your kids lunches.  An easy way to bring a smile to their cute little faces.  Click HERE to download.

Navy Blue...My New Favorite Color!

This Season I have been seeing a lot of Navy blue and I am in love! It has fast become my favorite color!  Grey has always been one of my favorite colors and now I think it will have a best friend. I found this Jessica Simpson purse at TJ Maxx for $50 and I couldnt resist! I just recently bought a pair of navy blue wedges that will go great with this bag and I will have to post a picture of them later.

Christmas Candles

This was such an easy and inexpensive project (my favorite kind!).  I picked up some glass candle holders and candles at Dollar Tree, cut a few things out on vinyl using my Cricut, and voilà!  These make cute decorations or would even make great gifts for friends, neighbors, teachers, etc.
