DIY Framed Fabric Corkboard

2015-07-25T19:07:00.002-07:00

This was an EASY craft that took me about 30 minutes to do. And the best part IT COST ME NOTHING! I either had everything or got everything FREE from my Buy Nothing group on Facebook.

What you will need:

Old Frame, glass not needed (if it doesn't have a cardboard back, you will need cardboard the size of the frame)

Corkboard (I used a roll I got free on buy nothing)

Fabric (large enough for frame)

hot glue gun

Iron

Scissors

knife

Staple gun

(optional spray paint)

Step-by-step directions:

First, pick out a frame that you want (see frame above). If you want a large pin board then get a large frame, if you want medium, etc. Remember you can spray paint your frame any color you want so if shopping at the thrift store, craigslist, or have an old one lying around you can make it new again!

I found a frame I liked and did not need to spray paint.

Second, if you are spray painting do this step first. No need to take out glass since going to discard. Spray paint, dry and go to next step.

If not spray painting, take out old picture from your frame. If have backing rip off and discard. (This photo was $50, I got it free!)

May need to use a butter knife to pry open fasteners on back. No need to be careful about glass, you will throw it away anyway:)

Remove picture from frame. My picture had layers so I took off all the layers and just kept the flat backing.

Next, put into a trash bag and hit the glass hard with hard object (this was the fun part!) I used the butter knife:) Throw in garbage can right away to prevent injury.

Next, measure your cork board by placing your frame backing on top of it. Cut around with a sharp knife.

Next, hot glue the cork board to backing by lifting small sections at a time so the glue does not dry. Push firmly to seal, go around whole square.

Next, measure your fabric about 2 inches longer on all sides. Cut. I used a table cloth I bought on clearance years ago and never used.

Iron the fabric, if needed.

Ironed!

Staple the fabric ALONG THE EDGES ONLY AND TIGHT! Can cut off extra fabric so can fit properly back into frame.

Next. my frame came with a border, so I attached it to the back for extra support, this is optional.

Fasten down the metal fasteners to hold in cork board.

And there you go! I am going to put this in my teenagers skateboard theme room. I will post pics when it goes up.

Happy crafting!!

Let me know how yours tuned out!

Did you like this recipe? If so let me know!

Try more recipes HERE!

This was the first time I have ever tried something like this, and it turned out GREAT! It was a hit for the whole family! It is quite simple to make. These make great appetizers for a football party, birthday, or just a treat! If you have a bit of left over filling you can use as a dip!

(If doubling, 1 1/2 the filling (not double), had a bit left over, unless want to use for dip)

Ingredients:

1 sheet puff pastry dough, thawed (found in frozen isles, takes 40 minutes to thaw)

4 ounce cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons mayo

12 ounces crab meat (fresh or fake)

2 green onions, chopped

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1-egg (for egg wash)

Directions:

(1) Preheat oven to 400'

(2) Cut pastry dough into 16 squares

(3) In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in crab meat.

(4) Add a spoonful of filling DIAGONALLY into center of puff pastry square.

(5) fold opposite corners together and tuck under sealing TIGHTLY (it looks like a hot dog roll up only folded and not rolled)

(6) Beat 1 egg in a small bowl, brush over the tops of puffs.

Bake on a piece of parchment paper for easy clean up, or use foil and spray with cooking spray at 400' for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

(I doubled the recipe and it took 20 minutes)

ENJOY!

Crab and Corn Chowder Recipe

2015-07-20T14:16:00.002-07:00

Did you like this recipe? If so please let me know!

For more recipes click HERE!

This recipe is a combination of a few recipes that I put together...and I am so glad I did! This was sooooo good!

Our family LOVES to go crabbing in the summer time so I am always looking for recipes to use crab.

I used fresh crab for this recipe, but you can always use fake crab...or use clams instead of crab...or take out the corn....you can tweak it to your liking:)

(I doubled this recipe for our family and friends...use an extra large pot if going to do so!)

Ingredients:

1/3 cup diced celery

3 1/2 cups peeled, diced potatoes 1/2"cubes

1/3 cup onion

3/4 cup crab meat (about 12 ounces)

1 cup corn (I used canned, can use frozen, or from cob)

3 1/4 cups water

2 tablespoons chicken bouillon (or 6 cubes, use 9 if doubling)

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. thyme

1 tsp. sage

5 tbls, butter

5 tbls. flour

2 cups milk

Directions:

If you are using fresh crab meat, crack all the crab ahead of time...get your family to help! It took me alone 2 hours and 40 minutes for 7 crab (3 Dungeness Crab and 4 Rock Crab. i am not a fan of Rock Crab, but the meat is GREAT in this soup!).

(1) First, in a large pot add potatoes, celery, onion, corn (if frozen), sage, thyme, and water to pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cook 10-15 minutes until potatoes are tender.

(2) Add bouillon cubes, crab, salt and pepper (corn if fresh), And stir.

(3) (PICTURE NOT SHOWN) In a separate sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat, whisk in flour until thick. Slowly add milk stirring continuously to avoid lumps for 3-5 minutes until hot.

(4) Add milk mixture to large pot. Bring back to boil, and turn off heat.

Can serve in a bowl and add crackers or serve in a bread bowl.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Birthday Party Ideas

2015-03-07T17:55:00.000-08:00

Click HERE for more Birthday Ideas.

Like it? Pin it to Pinterest!

This was a fun Birthday. My sons birthday is in January, so before Christmas I always know what theme the party will be so I can shop for ideas during the Christmas clearance...for me I try to use red and green, but depending when your child's birthday is, you can use the colors from the previous holiday and find ideas on clearance!

THE FOOD

NINJA TURTLE APPLES

Purchase enough green apples for your guests. Buy Fruit By the Foot in either red, orange, purple, or blue (or a mixture of all). I bought mine at Target and there was only red. You may have to go to a few stores to find different colors or order online. I also bought the candy eyes at Target, located in the cake decoration section. (I also used the same eyes for the cupcakes). The mouth is black gel frosting (that I had bought clearance after Halloween:)

Wash and dry the apples, remove any stickers. Wrap the fruit roll up around the top of the apple and

cut off the rest. (I used 1 fruit roll up for about 3 medium apples). With a dab of frosting stick the eyes on. Make a face with the gel.

Optional - you can add a wooden stick through the top for kids to grab and eat easier:)

I made 16. The kids loved them and it is a healthier treat:)

NINJA TURTLE PIZZA

For the party I ordered 5 cheese pizzas. I bought pepperoni and olives and made a face...it could have been cuter but this was rushed and the last thing I did:)

WATER BOTTLES

I took a case of water and removed the labels. First I opened the water bottles and added 2 drops of green food coloring, put cap back on and shook well.

Next, I placed 3 pieces of double sided tape around the water bottle where the label was, then I used orange, red, purple, and blue streamers to wrap around the water bottles.

SEWER LIDS

I bought 2 bags of oreo like cookies, placed then on a plate, and labeled them sewer lids:)

CUPCAKES

I bought 2 boxes of chocolate cupcake mix, and multicolored liners (with red, blue, purple, and orange), I baked according to package, and let cool completely. TO FROST: I used 2 cans of vanilla frosting (I used green food coloring to make it green), and spread over the top of all cupcakes. I used 2 more cans of vanilla frosting and scooped it into 4 bowls. I added to each bowl; blue, red, orange, and purple food coloring for the color of the masks. I put my own decorating tool inside a cut corner of a sandwich ziplock baggie to make the lines of the mask. I then stuck on candy eyes (bought at Target in cake decoration isle, also used for ninja turtle apples). Finally I made mouths with black gel frosting (I bought clearance from Halloween:)

M&Ms

I had purchased clear plastic cups clearance from Christmas, as well as the M&Ms. I bought 10 red and green bags from Target Christmas clearance at 70% off and separated them. I stored them in gallon zip lock baggies. I put them in the cups for decorations and snack. I put the left overs back in the baggies and used the red ones for Valentines, and the Green ones for Saint Patrick's Day:)

DECORATIONS

I bought the hanging decorations, table cloth, plates, and napkins at Target. I also ended up adding my sons ninja turtle figurines around the table and present area (after I took the pic:( Since the food was themed it made nice decorations too!

Giveaways

I bought 16 mini Ninja Turtle buckets in the Target dollar section for $1 each.

I bought 2 boxes of Ninja Turtle tattoos in the party section and cut them up, each child got 6. Since my sons birthday is January 23rd, I was able to get some packaged valentines toys such as bouncy balls, bubbles, and erasers in a large quantity for $3-$5! I also found ninja turtle valentines you make into a mask, I premade each mask and put it in each give away bucket! I also added a ninja turtle fruit snack:)

Gak:

I made this ahead of time and put into zip lock sandwich baggies. I gave it to the kids separately so they would not mistake is as food:) Perfect for Ninja turtle theme and easy to make! You can also have it as a craft for the kids to make:)

HOW TO MAKE:

Each batch below made enough for 2 individual sandwich baggies.

Ingredients:

4 ounce bottle of glue

1 teaspoon Borax (found in laundry detergent isles in stores:)

green food coloring

warm water

Directions:

Take off lid to glue and add all to bowl. Fill entire glue bottle with warm water and dump into bowl. Mix well. Next add food coloring and mix. Then use a 1/2 cup of warm water and add 1 tsp. of Borax and mix....then add to the glue mixture. Use hands to mix until completely formed (about 2 minutes).

Bacon and Egg Muffin Cups

2015-03-01T14:47:00.001-08:00

I have finally figured out how to make these perfectly for less grease and crispier bacon. I have tried different methods such as cooking the bacon in the microwave or oven for a few minutes then lining the tins, but this method is truly the best!

When cooked, they are EASY to put into a zip lock bag to freeze or put into the fridge for reheating later. You can personalize each tin with different ingredients such as green pepper, cheese, spinach, mushroom, etc. for the different tastes of your family. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS: ( 1 muffin tin makes 12, double if making 2 tins)

12 pieces of bacon
12 eggs
(optional: cheese, green pepper, onion, mushroom, spinach, jalapenos, etc)

DIRECTIONS:

1.) Preheat the oven to 375'. Line each tin with bacon pressing along the rims of each hole. (They will overlap but the bacon shrinks so keep it overlapped). Bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven. Take the bacon out of the tin and lay flat on a plate and dab with paper towels. Pour out grease from tins into the sink. (notice the grease? This is why I do it this way...yuck!)

2.) Reline the tins with the bacon in the opposite direction (it stays better this way). And crack an egg into each tin. (It doesnt look as pretty this way, but better than soggy bacon and grease!)

3.)With a fork, poke the yolk twice making an X shape. Add your toppings to each tin and stir gently with fork. If using cheese, top with cheese. (Note you can also just cook an egg without the bacon as seen in the bottom left corner. If you do not want to use the bacon, start with this step).

4.) Cook at 375' for 20 minutes.With a fork gently go around the tin to pop out the bacon and egg muffin. Enjoy!

My IPSY August 2014 Glam Bag - Nice!

2014-08-21T12:01:00.000-07:00

I received my August Glam Bag! Another good bag. I really like the bag because it is all plastic and can be used for traveling to hold items that may leak! Some items were unique and nice to try since I would never think of trying them otherwise! You can get your own glam bag HERE for $10 each month, I love getting a gift every month for me:)

Coastal Scents - Shadow Palette sample - I like the colors. Green is one of my favorite colors, and I am going to wear it on Fridays and Sundays for Seahawk colors. I like this sample a lot!

Bee All Natural - Organic Lip Balm - This has a very refreshing smell and goes on nicely, and stays on! I really like this sample a lot!

Klorane - Dry Shampoo with oat milk - I tried using this the morning before my shower. It actually worked! I would carry this in my purse for a long outing where sweat is involved and your hair can easily get that greesy look. It smells nice and is a great quick fix!

Manna Kadar Cosmetics - Sheer Glo - This sample is ok. It works great after you wash your face or shower right before you put on your make-up. But with my make-up on I could not tell much of a difference. It did make my skin feel more refreshed though. Overall it was a good product.

Urban Decay - 24/7 Velvet Glide-on eye pencil - I was not too thrilled about this product only because of the color alone. Purple is my least favorite color. I may be giving this one away:)

Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

2014-08-15T16:48:00.003-07:00

Like it? Pin it to Pinterest!

For more recipes click HERE!

This was such a warm and comforting meal on a gloomy rainy night.

Most chicken and dumpling recipes want cut up boneless chicken breasts, but I did not have any so I created this! You can use about 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken breasts cut up if you want. Just add after you add the broth and omit the browning of the chicken part. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

3 tablespoons butter

10-12 chicken thighs or legs

1 medium onion, diced

4 medium carrots (or 28 baby carrots), cut into 1/2 inch chunks

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 cup flour

1 can (14.5 ounces) chicken broth OR 14.5 ounces of water and 2 chicken bouillon cubes

1 - (10 ounce) package peas

salt and pepper

DUMPLINGS:

3/4 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk (maybe a few tablespoons more)

DIRECTIONS:

First melt the butter over medium high heat and cook onion, carrots, and thyme for about 5 minutes.

Add chicken pieces and salt and pepper them. Cook chicken for about 5 minutes.

Remove chicken from the pot onto large plate

Add 1/4 cup flour to the pot of veggies and stir with for about 15 seconds.

Add the chicken broth (or the water and bouillon) and stir

Then add the chicken back to the pot, bring to a boil, simmer 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl...add 3/4 cup flour, dill, salt, and stir. Add 1/2 cup milk and stir with a fork. Add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time until batter slides off a spoon easily (not as runny as pancake batter!) After the chicken cooks for 10 minutes ADD PEAS FIRST AND STIR, then, spoon batter in heaping tablespoons into areas with no chicken. Cook 15 - 20 minutes.

Serve into a bowl!

Why wait for the fair! Make elephant ears all year round!

My kids helped me with this recipe, it was fun!

INGREDIENTS:

6 tablespoons shortening

1-1/2 cups milk

2 tablespoons sugar

2 - 1/4 ounce packets yeast (or 2 tablespoons)

4 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

3/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons cinnamon (can add more cinnamon for liking, but I like a bit less)

1 gallon zip lock bag

DIRECTIONS:

First over medium heat in small pan, melt shortening, salt, milk and 2 tablespoons sugar. When shortening starts to melt, stir continuously until all mixed and melted.

Remove from burner and LET SIT FOR 10 MINUTES! Add yeast, mix, and let sit for 3 minutes

In a large mixing bowl add the 4 cups of flour. Then pour the yeast mixture over the flour and mix until combined.

Knead until well combined and can transform into a smooth elastic ball.

Put back into large bowl and cover for 30 minutes.

Next heat 2 cups of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Take your dough and roll out 3 inch balls into a circle (try to get large enough for the size of your frying pan)

Mix the 3/4 cups of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon into a zip lock bag and shake to mix.

Fry each side of the elephant ear for 1-2 minutes. If too brown too fast, turn down your heat!

Drain onto paper towels for 2 minutes. (If kids help, you get lots of cool shapes:)

Then add to ziplock bag, shake, and place on a plate.

Enjoy!

How to cut a watermelon EASY in under 5 minutes!

2014-07-26T14:18:00.000-07:00

This is the most EXTREMELY EASY way to cut a watermelon...and it takes under 5 minutes!

Plus there is minimal mess!

First pick out the perfect watermelon. (Click HERE how to choose the perfect watermelon.)

Set it on a cutting board. (I had bought a meat cutting board because it is supposed to hold the meat juices, but I use it just for fruit. It holds all the juices from the watermelon nicely:)

Next, choose a sharp knife and cut the watermelon in half. (See how red and juicy it is!)

Then with a sharp knife, cut 3-4 lines on one side of the watermelon. Cut all the way through to the middle.

Then do the other side. Leave about an inch or two gap between the two sides.

Next, with the knife, begin cutting the watermelon around the rind.

Cut around the whole rind pushing all the way through the watermelon until you feel your knife hit the bottom of the rind.

Next cut horizontal and vertical lines from the top of the watermelon, push downward until you hit the rind and swipe one big cut, this assures you are cutting all the way down to the bottom. Repeat cuts until it looks like this:

Finally, get a large bowl, or a gallon zip lock bag, and turn over the watermelon. It will literally dump right out.

And clean up is easy! Just through away! (You can use a spoon if some pieces are stuck to push out)

A quick and easy snack:)

He can't stop!

Enjoy!

How to Choose the 'Perfect Watermelon'

2014-07-25T18:40:00.001-07:00

PICK A PERFECT WATERMELON IN 5 EASY STEPS!

(Click HERE to see how to cut it under 5 minutes EASY with little mess)

(1) Make sure it is symmetrical. It can be circular or oval as long as it has the same shape, no flat sides. If it is not symmetrical, this means areas received an inconsistent amount of water or sunlight.

(2) Choose a dull colored watermelon. A shiny green watermelon indicates it is underripe.

(3) Find the field mark. This is the large creamy yellow spot on one area of the watermelon. It does not matter where this spot is, as long is there is only one and NOT WHITE. This is where the watermelon was sitting on the vine laying in the field getting right. If it is white it is underripe.

(4) Look for webbing and black spots. This indicates sweetness. Back when your watermelon was a itty bitty flower, webbing indicates where the bee pollinated it! The more webbing, indicates multiple bees pollinated your watermelon!

(5) The black crusty spots people think is dirt, is sugar from your watermelon seeping out which indicates sweetness!

Have fun enjoying your sweet watermelon!

Oven Baked Crispy Chicken Recipe

2014-07-23T14:36:00.000-07:00

See more recipes HERE!

Like it? Pin it to Pinterest!

This recipe is pretty simple. You most likely have all the ingredients at home.

I made 2 pans of this, 16 pieces of chicken. If you want 1 pan then half the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

16 pieces of chicken (I cut up leg quarters, you can use any parts of chicken)

1 cup flour (bisquick makes it a bit crispier, but if you do not have it flour is fine)

*2 tbls. Johnnys seasoning (if do not have Johnnys seasoning, see below)

1 tsp. cayenne pepper (can use less or more for heat)

1 tsp. garlic powder

4tbls. butter or margarine

1 gallon zip lock bag

*Johnnys seasoning is a combination of spices. You can just add some salt, pepper, and paprika but you will have to do your own measurements)

DIRECTIONS:

First, preheat Oven to 425'.

Combine the flour, Johnnys seasoning, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder in ziplock bag, seal, and shake to mix. Add 2 -3 pieces of chicken to the zip lock bag.

Seal bag tightly and shake the chicken pieces until evenly coated. Set on a large serving plate while waiting for oven to preheat. Repeat steps until all the chicken is coated. Throw out any remaining mixture with bag.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine to two 9X13 baking dishes. When the oven is preheated add baking dishes. When butter is melted and bubbly, add chicken skin side down. (You can pack the chicken tightly, chicken begins to shrink once it cooks).Cook 35 minutes. Flip then cook 15 minutes more.

Remove from oven and let cook 5 minutes.

Serve with your favorite sides!

Enjoy!
