My Mom Has Been Getting Together With The Girls She Grew Up With. Every Other Month They Take Turns Hosting A Lunch In Their Home. This Past Month Was My Mom's Turn & I Wanted To Share With You How Cute It Turned Out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She Wanted To Do A Picnic Theme, So She Turned To The Internet & Found Some Cute Baskets At <a href="http://www.save-on-crafts.com/" target="_blank">Save On Crafts.com</a> To Put The Lunch In.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She Served Smoked Turkey Sandwiches with Blue Cheese and Red Onions Which She Found On <a href="http://www.bonappetit.com/" target="_blank">BonAppetit.com</a>, Pasta, Which She Served In Green Solo Cups She Found At Target, Chips, Which She Served In A Brown bag She Found On <a href="http://www.thinkgarnish.com/store/store" target="_blank">Think Garnish.com</a> & Coke In A Bottle, Which She Found At Target. </div>

For The Past 7 Years, My Husband And I Have Guessed On Weather Or Not Our Dishwasher Had Clean Or Dirty Dishes In It & Luckily We Have Only Made A Few Wrong Guesses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, While Thumbing Through My Favorite Site, Pinterest, I Found This Clever Idea On <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/99826537/scrabble-tile-clean-dirty-dishwasher" target="_blank">Etsy</a>....</div>

I Then Took Some Magnet Strip That I Had & Lined Them Up Along The Sticky Part Of The Strip.</div>

I Was Thumbing Around On Pinterest & Saw This Fabulous Idea!! If You Have Little Ones In Diapers, You Know That Your Diapers Are Just Floating All Around Your Diaper Bag & The Wipes Are Somewhere Deep Inside As Well, So Why Not Sew A Strap To Hold Them Both Together?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Is Such An Easy Project! I think It Took Me About 1 Hour To Bust Out 4 Straps! If You Can Sew A Straight Line, You Can Create These Straps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Disclaimer: I Know This Post Would Have Been Handy To Send Out Prior To Mother's Day, But This Was The Gift I Gave This Year & I Needed To Wait Until Both Mom's Received The Gift. So, If Your Mom Has A Birthday Coming Up....This Would Be A Great Gift!<br />
<br />
Every Year I Contemplate On What To Do For My Mother & Mother-In-Law For Mother's Day. And Now That I Have Become 'Creative' I Want To Make Them Something. So, Off To Michael's I Went For Inspiration....And I Found These Cute Trays</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In Order To Match The Decor Of Each Mother, I Spray Painted One White & The Other Black</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since My Mother's Decor Is A Little Shabby Chic (depending on the room or even decor item), I Distressed Hers Using A Rag & Distress Ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I Found These Cute Mother's Day Free Printables At <a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/" target="_blank">http://www.livinglocurto.com/.</a> They Offer Them In Black & White As Well As Pink & White, Which Is Perfect For The Decor Of Each Mom!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I Printed Them Out On Cardstock & Mod Podged Them Onto The Tray. I Did A Light Coat To Adhere The Paper To The Tray & A Light Coat On Top (letting it completely dry in between coats).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I Sprayed A Layer Of Shellac On Top So That If Something Wet Was Set On The Tray It Wouldn't Ruin It.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Drying Time On The Spray Paint, Mod Podge & Shellac Are Quick, So If You Need To Create Something Fast, Simple & Usable, This Would Be A Perfect Idea!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Everywhere You Look There Are New And Creative Things To Do With Pallets And I Saw One I Would Like To Share With You. I Copied It & Elaborated On It (of course)...</div>

I Had A Ton Of Black & White Photos On My Hallway Wall Of My & My Husband's Grandparents From Years Ago And I Thought It Would Work Wonderfully In The Living Room On This Pallet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, Fortunately, I Have A Friend Who Was Able To Get His Hands On A Free Pallet (here in So. Cal they don't come easy) & I Had My Husband Move The Slats Around To Look Like The One Above.</div>

I Had My Husband Chop Off The End Of The Board I Chose From All The Scraps In Our Garage To Make It Look Like Driftwood. Then Using A Color I Already Had, I Grabbed A 'Throw-Away' Paint Brush & Slopped It On...Literally, Slopped It On. In Order To Make It Look Distressed, I Didn't Prep The Wood Nor Care To Paint On A Nice Coat (which is why I used the 'throw-away' paint brush).</div>

I Pinned It A While Ago And Decided To Make It For Our Easter Dessert (yes, I realize it's been a while since I made it)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here Is The Link To My <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/247909154460304332/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> Page Where I Pinned It & Here Is The Link To The Recipie On <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/butter-brickle-frozen-delight/detail.aspx" target="_blank">All Recipies.Com.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Beauty Of This Recipie Is The Only Baking You Do Is To Prepare The Crust & Even Better, You Can Keep It In Your Frezer Until You Are Ready To Serve It....Which Means You Can Make It A Head!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

You Will Need A Spring Form Pan. If You Don't Have One, Invest! They Are Not Expensive And They Are Wonderful To Have Around If You Bake. </div>

I Thought I Would Make This In A Pie Tin, But I Went With What The Recipie Said And I'm Glad I Did Because There Is No Way It Would Have Stayed Formed In A Pie Tin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I Will Make This Again For Sure And I Encourage All Of You Carmel Lovers To Make It As Well...</div>

<br />
<br />
There Is A Bit Of Process Required In Making It, But Overall, It's Easy & The Payoff Is Delicious!<br />
<br />
Here Is The Link I Pinned This Recipe From: <a href="http://www.chef-in-training.com/2012/01/mexican-corn-cake/" target="_blank">Chef In Training</a>. She Took The Recipe From AllRecipes.com!<br />
<br />
The Ingredients Are:<br />
<br />
1/2 cup butter, softened<br />
1/3 cup masa harina (found near the cornmeal)<br />
1/4 cup water<br />
1-1/2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed<br />
1/4 cup cornmeal<br />
1/3 cup white sugar<br />
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon baking powder<br />
<br />
Instructions Are As Follows:<br />
(I Added Pictures So You Have An Idea Of The Constancy For Each Step)<br />
<br />
1. In a medium bowl beat butter until it is creamy. If you have a KitchenAid mixer, use it!<br />
<br />
2. Add the Mexican corn flour (masa harina) and water and beat until well mixed.<br />
<br />
3. Using a food processor, process thawed corn, but leave chunky. Stir into the butter mixture.<br />
<br />

<br />
5. Pour batter into an ungreased 8×8 inch baking pan. Smooth batter and cover with aluminum foil. Place pan into a 9×13 inch baking dish that is filled a third of the way with water.<br />

<br />
6. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 50 to 60 minutes. <br />
Allow to cool for 10 minutes. <br />
<br />
Use an ice cream scoop for easy removal from pan & enjoy!<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I Trimmed Up The Photos Using My Scrap Booking Paper Cutter</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0To-cfE2gqUoo0C54-xL0Pi5Md3P-dweNtBz3uJQnrPnM5VQ0jHVhBfkeVtivJ7ujJbI5rLQhuhwsFpledNfNs50FkpFAcLjUGVffIiHMHYhnDPMOxI56nMrYDX5-2zaM_H4Rbhld-_X/s1600/DSC_0052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV0To-cfE2gqUoo0C54-xL0Pi5Md3P-dweNtBz3uJQnrPnM5VQ0jHVhBfkeVtivJ7ujJbI5rLQhuhwsFpledNfNs50FkpFAcLjUGVffIiHMHYhnDPMOxI56nMrYDX5-2zaM_H4Rbhld-_X/s320/DSC_0052.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I Applied A Coat Of Mod Podge On The Coasters & Laid The Photos On Top </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I Had To Lay Them Upside Down To Dry So They Would Stick Better</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After They Dried, I Took My Rotary Cutter & Trimmed Up The Edges</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When They Were All Trimmed Up, I Took Them Outside To Lightly Sand The Edges Of Each Coaster. This Adds A Little Texture To Them</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPeWwEzsi0EgFyRL_jEeaTov3pE6Y60ad_u8tmdsc6Tw0Y5wwxsVD_iirJHDGbQRvoQniJC65i2NNFxePp3uIrxjvuvlKWaWrz2c1kJlT2sJvEcbamw-dvxP2aThxEePDfETuan8d4tLma/s1600/DSC_0042.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPeWwEzsi0EgFyRL_jEeaTov3pE6Y60ad_u8tmdsc6Tw0Y5wwxsVD_iirJHDGbQRvoQniJC65i2NNFxePp3uIrxjvuvlKWaWrz2c1kJlT2sJvEcbamw-dvxP2aThxEePDfETuan8d4tLma/s320/DSC_0042.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I Applied 3 Coats Of Mod Podge, Letting Them Completely Dry Between Each Coat</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After Each Coaster Was Completely Dry, I Took Them Back Outside & Sprayed A Coat Of Clear Acrylic Spray Paint On Them & Let Them Dry For At Least An Hour. The Acrylic Seals In Everything & Allows Them To Be Usable As Coasters! Very Important!</div>
<br />

It's Truly Simple. I Bought The Piece Of Wood At Michael's & Had My Husband Drill Holes On Each Side At The Top. Then I Painted It & When It Dried, We Put The Vinyl My Mother Had Cut For Me On It & Painted Some Mod Podge Over It To Seal It In. Then We Tied The Twine On & Hung It! How Simple Is That?! It's A Wonderful Idea & It Works 80% Of The Time (sometimes solicitors just don't pay attention!)</div>

Over The Holidays, My Husband, Daughter & I Went Up To The San Fransisco Bay Area To Spend Christmas With My Family & One Afternoon My Husband & I Got Away For An Afternoon Date! We Went To A Movie & To Lunch At The Restaurant Across From The Theatre Called <a href="http://www.buffalobillsbrewery.com/" target="_blank">Buffalo Bills Brewery.</a> That Is Where We Discovered A Wonderful Sandwich Called The "Brie And Cranberry Turkey." It Was Delicious, But Even Better, It's Something You Can Re-Create At Home. So, I Did Just That & Here It Is To Share With You....<br />

Since I Have Tapped Into My Creative Side This Year, I Decided To Make All The Christmas Gifts I Was Giving to The Adults (kids don't know what to do with the things I create). Although I Would Like to Take Credit For Them As My Original Idea, I Can't. I Borrowed Each Idea, But They Turned Out Great, Not To Mention They Were Greatly Appreciated. </div>

This Is An Easy Picture Frame Idea. I Combined 2 Different Ideas From Shanty-2-Chic To Create It. All I Did Was Take A Piece Of 2x6 I Had From The Previous Project & Glued A Wooden Knob I Bought From Michael's On Top. I Then Spray Painted It And The Clothes Pin, Black. When It Was Dry, I Distressed It With My Mouse Sander. Then I Cut A Piece Of Burlap, Sprayed It With Spray Adhesive & Centered It On The Piece Of Wood. Then I Made My Rosettes & Hot Glued Them And The Clothes Pin Onto The Wood. Finally, I Added Our Newest Family Picture & It Was Complete! Easy As Pie!!</div>

My EXTREMELY Creative Sister-In-Law, Julie, Had Pinned it And It Seemed Pretty Easy To Do. The Pin Originally Came From <a href="http://stubbornlycrafty.blogspot.ca/2011/12/joy.html" target="_blank">This Blog.</a></div>

Cute, Right? I Bought The Pre-Painted Letters & Some Martha Stewart Glitter Acrylic Paint (color is Aquamarine Crystal), and With A Circle Sponge Paint Brush, Painted on The Dots. The Bell I Bought From Joann's Fabric, Cut The Jute Hook Off, Spray Painted It With Spray Snow & Set It On The Piano! Simple as Pie!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, This Leads Me To The Rest of My Decor. I Have To Preface The Rest Of This Post By Saying, I Stole (or borrowed with permission) The Decor Colors & The Idea for My Tree From My Sister-In-Law Julie...Thanks Julie For Inspiring Me!!! </div>

This Is The Decor On Top Of The Piano. I Found Blue Ornaments & Tucked Them Into The Garland. The Vase I Had & Just Poured Epsom Salt In (for the snow effect), Added Some Snow Covered Twigs I Bought at Michael's & Threw In Some Snow Covered Pine Cones I Found at Big Lots for $5!!!!</div>

My Mother-In-Law Gave Me a Bunch of Blue Ball & Kerr Jars a While Ago, Which Have Been Great For My Everyday Decor, But I Saw <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/247909154459632892/" target="_blank">This Idea</a> On Pinterest & Elaborated It. Since My Colors Are Blue & White, the Blue Ball Jars Worked Perfectly! Thanks Mom!</div>

I Bought These Blue (plastic, which is good since my 2-year-old loves to play with them) Ornaments From Hobby Lobby & Put Them In The Glass Jar I Had From My Daughter's Birthday Party ($8 at Target!!!). I Used My Wonderful Cricut & Cut Out The "White Christmas & Stars"! I'm Pretty Proud Of This One Because The Whole Things Came From My Creative Side!!!</div>

Here Is Another Ball Jar. I Used Flameless Candles So The Pine Cones Wouldn't Catch Fire (and for the safety of my daughter). I Bought A 16 Pack of Flameless Candles (tea light & small votive size) for $10 at Big Lots!!! They Even Came With Extra Batteries!</div>

I Have This Hanging Jar That I Filled With Ornaments. This Idea Was Based Loosely On <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/255157135109712514/" target="_blank">This Pin</a> That I Saw On Julie's Pinterest. I Used White Ball Ornaments, Blue Jungle Bell Ornaments & White Glitter Balls I Cut From Garland Decor I Bought At Home Goods.</div>

This Is My Favorite Piece!!! I Had A Lot Of Burlap Left Over From My Daughter's Birthday Party & I Wanted to Use It, So, What Better Use For It Than A Wreath!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using A Glue Gun & Random Strips of Burlap That I Had, I Wrapped A Hay Wreath. I Then Took The White Glitter Balls & Blue Jungle Bell Ornaments & Thread Florist Wire Through Them & Then Twisted Them Until I Found The Look I Wanted & Tied It To The Wreath. I Topped It Off With A White Bow To Keep It Simple! </div>

I Noticed On Julie's Tree That She Used Large Ornaments, Which Allowed For Less Ornaments...More Simple & Less Expensive (especially if you are changing up your decor from last year!) I Bought Most Of These At Hobby Lobby, But I Did Make The Wreath One. I Just Wrapped Ribbon Around It So It Matched The Blue & White Color Scheme.</div>

And Finally, The Tree Skirt. I Thought I Was Going To Have To Buy A White And/Or Blue Tree Skirt, Since The One I Had From Last Year Is Red, But I Remembered All The Burlap I Had From My Daughter's Party & Ta-Da!!! Plus, It's The Same Thing Julie Did, So There It Is!!!</div>

My Daughter Turned 2!!! I Can't Believe She is Already 2!!! Last Year, I Did a Ladybug Themed Party, so This Year, I Went For The Garden Themed Party. It Was More Difficult Because There Are A Lot Of Ways You Can Go With A Garden Theme, but With the Help of My Sister-in-Law, Mom & Sister, it Turned Out Wonderful!! We Had It At A Local Park, Which Was Great, Except it Was 60 Degrees Out with 20 MPH Winds! We Had To Change A Lot At The Last Minute to Accommodate The Weather, But It Still Turned Out Great!</div>
