Now, I know once you see the ingredients of this baby you will feel like you gained a few LB’S! Just don’t read to much into the it! I swear! It’s one of those things you have to try (every other week)…haha

Plus that is why the SOUTH has the BEST food in the WORLD! Here is proof #1.

Ingredients:

If you want to do a bigger batch use 3pounds of chicken and two cans of cream of mushroom. That's it.

RECIPE:

Set oven to 350˙now

2 lbs of boneless chicken breasts
1 bag of Doritos
1 can of cream of mushroom
1 can of corn
1 can of Rotel
1 16 Velveeta cheese block
1 onion
1 bellpepper
1 block of butter

1.  Boil your chicken. When it’s done shred each piece using two forks
2.  While your chicken is boiling saute your onion and bell pepper with your block of butter
3. When your veggies are soft add in your can of cream of mushroom, cook for about 10 min
4.  Once that has cooked add your can of corn and rotel, cook on low for about 10-15 min
5. While your corn and rotel are simmering cut up your cheese into cubes then slowly add them to your mixture! You want to stir the entire time you are adding them until they are fully melted.
6.  Once your cheese is melted add in your shredded chicken. MIX

Get your baking pan out, I use my lasagna dish. Spray pam on it. Coat the bottom of the pan with a little bit of the food you just cooked. Grab a handful of Dorito’s and crumble them good over this mixture. You will continue this process until the pan is full, or you run out of food (heeehehe)

It’s sorta like a lasagna if you think about it! Make sure your LAST step is adding a Dorito layer on top! Like this.

This is what it will look like in it’s LAST step. Cover with aluminum foil and pop it in the oven for 25 minutes. You will be delighted when the aroma of this starts smelling your house!

Make sure you get one of these to "snack" on while your food is cooking!

 Ready to see the finale of this baby!

Yep. That's all there is to it!

I hope all of you have a SAFE and wonderful weekend!

WE all need to know things that could make us happier, improve our outlook on life, feel all warm and mushy inside and just make us a better person in general. That is my goal! Some days I will have information that comes strait from the good ole “noggin” but other days (((like today))) I will find things that catch my attention and share them with you. That is, because part of me might think you NEED to know! Wadduyuh say!

Plus, it’s always better to “FACE” the music, or “Face” forward…or have a “FACE” off!

Sending you big hugs from my computer to yours,

There ya have it! Incase you ever wondered what goes through the mind of an A.D.D. person in the matter of 4 seconds, this should enlighten you .

I was in my back yard picking hydrangeas over the weekend and saw this small pile of bricks. There was ONE particular one that caught my eyeball! I really had NO idea what I was going to do with it {compulsive order too, haha} but I “needed” it.   I started thinking it would look really cool if I glittered it up (yes. I am addicted to glitter too), then I thought GOLD SPRAY PAINT!

I figured since I didn’t own my own gold brick I would make my own! Then through the process I realized it was strong enough to hold books up. That’s it! Let’s check it out!

I bought this spray paint at FRED'S! It was .99!!!! So you don't need the "most expensive" gold spraypaint.

Lay the brick down on a surface your not scared to mess up and spray the entire brick!

It's simple. It's cute. It's GOLD

You can’t tell me your not like.. O.M.Geeee! I know I am! Just think, you could glitter it in gold too! Can’t wait to see you in the next post!

Make it a DIY kinda day,

The Martha Stewart Show on Hallmark Channel

How cute are these babies!

INGREDIENTS
8-by-10-inch frame
Lightweight card stock
Paper trimmer
5-by-7-inch photo

Ombre Photo Mat How-To

Choose six pieces of card stock in a color gradient and trim each to 8 by 10 inches.

Arrange the card stock in the order you would like the colors to appear. Begin with the color chosen for the widest mat (the innermost mat, closest to the photo). Using the paper trimmer, measure and cut lines 1 3/4 inches in from each edge, creating a rectangular window in the center of the card stock.

Measure and cut the rest of the mats, decreasing the distance from the edge by 1/4 inch as you work your way to the outermost mat. The outermost mat will be 1/2 inch wide. Tip: When cutting the first line of a 1 3/4-inch mat, start the cutter exactly at the 1 3/4 mark on the ruler of the paper trimmer, and stop 1 3/4 inches before the other edge of the card stock. (The magnifier on the blade shuttle is useful for this.) Turn the paper 90 degrees to make each adjacent cut, stopping 1 3/4 inches before each edge. As you progress, adjust where you start and stop based on the width of the mat you are cutting.

Once all the mats are cut, stack them in order and insert into the frame. Center and secure photo behind mats; secure back of frame in place.

I hope everyone out there had a great day SUN-day. A friend of mine sent me a HUGE box of “blue” bottles because she knows I collect them. They are SOOO PRETTY! I can’t wait to do fun crafts with them. They were SKYY Vodka bottles. I said “WOW, that was prolly lot’s of “FUN” nights”.

I told you it was ALOT

Let’s get started on the craft we are working on today!

INGREDIENTS

You can get these magnet sheets at Wal-Mart in the craft section. They are maybe 2 bucks! Of course I used Martha Stewart scissors and glitter. It is the BEST!

Start cutting out triangles. You can cut one and make a template if you want. I just eyeballed it because I wanted them to be different sizes!

SEE! Triangles!

After you cut out all of your triangles, peel the paper off of the sticky side and sprinkle glitter all over it!

Who woulda ever "thunk" to decorate a lil ole coffee pot!

Sorry if my "stainless" steel looks a little discolored, this sucker is worked to the BONE!

I think this is the cutest thing ever! Not sure many MEN will love this (haha) good luck ladies!!!!
I hope you enjoyed this craft and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for another fun craft! I will give you a hint {{gold}}!!!

Close your eyes and pretend we are sitting on a porch drinking glittered coffee,

 If you have not heard, Martha’s last taping just took place. Yep. You heard right. Her show will not be on anymore but don’t you worry about my friend Martha, she is preparing for a show as we speak and it will be on PBS!  Click HERE to read more about her final taping! Click HERE to read about her new show on PBS.

I will ALWAYS be grateful for everyone on the show! They opened up doors and gave me memories to last a LIFETIME. I have met so many awesome people through them and I have a good feeling this is only the beginning! I love how happy everyone looks in the picture! My friend’s Lenore ( pink shirt) and Noel ( black and white shirt) will be GREATLY missed!  I will never forget the first time I met them. They opened their arms to me and took me in. So glad they are still in my life.

Martha, thank you for everything you have given me throughout my life. You showed me how to be dedicated, classy and funny since day one. I will always be your NUMBER ONE fan! Don’t forget to check her new show out! You just never know who you might see!

HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS!!!

I know this picture is HUGE but how can you minimize something as pretty as this!!! “winking”

Do you ever run across things in your house that you just “can’t” get rid of. You don’t really want it, but you just don’t know what to do with it! Well that is what happened to me the other day! I have these wonderful rod iron sconces (that I used to LOVE) but I just don’t “LOVE” them as much as I used to. They were stuck in another room in our house that holds all the great things we just can’t get rid of!

Would that be considered HOARDING? {{insert big laugh}}

I love love love woking with tissue paper! One reason is it’s super affordable! You can do SO much with it and you can practically get it in every shade of color ever made!

Ingredients:

Yep. This is all you will need! I got my tissue paper squares at Michael's Art's and Craft's but you could get them at any craft store. I wanna say they were almost 3 bucks!

Get your Mod Podge and your brush out! Go to town applying the tissue paper all over the glass! If you did NOT purchase pre cut squares you can cut them yourself, or just tear pieces and keep the rugged edge on them. I bought my Mod Podge and Martha Stewart brushes at Michael's also!

Pay attention to colors. You can achieve a wider variety of colors if you over lap colors. I have attached a color wheel at the bottom of this post so you can "know" what colors to overlap!

It's coming along!!! I put the final product at the top of this post. I hope you really have fun with this and you can do this over ANYTHING you want. It's super pretty when in sunlight!

I have come to realize I love color. The brighter the better. Here are some curtains in my house that I made and I will attach a link below!

Here is the link to my curtains! Check out my craft booth here, I used my curtains in my booth!!!

I hope you all have a GREAT day!!!!!

Well, Well, Well.
I know this is NOT a craft tutorial but I couldn’t help it! I just had to share this picture with you. Incase you ever wonder what goes into a craft, here it is. Yes, I have an AMAZING studio but for some strange reason I am MOST productive outside and squeezing everything I am using onto one chair. I could seriously buy 10 tables but will use the same old chair that’s been around forever!!!

I guess this old chair is like your your old pair of jeans that are completely broken in! RIGHT! I mean you can buy ten new pairs of jeans but you will always get that old pair out instead! Or you can buy a brand NEW pair that were completely over priced and squat down the wrong way then KAPOOSH!!!! Split strait in the crotch! Yep happened to me the other day during a photo shoot!!!!! {{rolling eyes}}.

This chair in the picture {{with all of my things on it}} has been around forever! It’s crazy how a piece of wood can inspire you!

The reason why I am posting this picture is because I thought it was really funny! I guess I do so many crafts that I never realized how many crafts are in one spot in my house! Who woulda thunk it! I love each of the crafts in the picture below and wanted to share them with all of my Jaderbugs!

1.  Tissue Paper Garland
2.   Paint Can Cross
3.  Redneck Night Light
4.  Glitter Wall Art
5.  Fabric Covered Flower Pot
6.  My recent Self- Portrait

I hope you have fun checking out a corner in my homey home! Stay tuned for a new tutorial tomorrow!
