I promise....

I promise not all my posts will be about my Pinterest projects ;)

But I do have a couple to share...

It's pretty darn good. I will give it a 8.5/10, it would be especially great as an apetizer (for example for the Super Bowl etc)

next I did a small, key word: small, Valentines Craft today:

Buy cheap, plain candles at WalMart, some cute paper at the scrapbook store and a little twine and  a hot glue gun and you done!

That was easy :)

Pinterest obsessed!

If you haven't checked out Pinterest yet, I urge you to take a look! You can get lost in a world of projects, fashion, decorating, recipes and many, many more various helpful tips and future projects and purchases!

That being said, I took inspiration from Shannon in that I cannot justify spending hours looking and never doing....

So I decided to try a couple of recipes and here they are:

First up:

Chocolate Chip Cookie/Oreo/Brownie dessert

I will admit, when I tried it warm, out of the oven, I wasn't super impressed. In fact, I was a little disappointed. After it cooled however, it got better, really good actually! I would suggest serving it with  scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle a little hot fudge over the top! hmmmm

(you will find the complete recipe on my "yummy" board on my Pinterest)

Next up:

Lasagna Soup

This soup was completely, 100% delicious! I am in love with it I think! :)

It tastes similar to the sausage/tortellini soup mom makes but a little different. I would HIGHLY recommend it. Again, you will find the recipe on my pinterest, Food board this time.

I already have my next project picked out, it will probably take a bit of time but in the meantime I will keep looking and "pinning"

hello, it's me again....

You know I am still alive because there is evidence to prove it! I have taken a very long break from blogging. Not sure why. I have some excuses but I will just skip those and say

"it's a new year so I am going to begin again"....or something like that. Part of me feels I don't have much to blog about but I guess that just means I will have to start appreciating the smaller moments/events.

SOOOOO,

what have I been up to you wonder?

(I am skipping right over the holidays, family visits, parties, birthdays, daughter going to college, blah blah blah) and get onto the good stuff....

haha ;)

This week I decided to get out and dust off the Valentine decorations and put them up....

 I should probably add at least one more decoration, frankly what I have looks a little blah (I need my crafty sis-in-law to help me with a project perhaps!!)

Secondly,

I have been organizing drawers, cupboards and closets. It's amazing how much crap we save....

Below is an after picture of my organized "junk drawer". It does look much better. I kinda came to a conclusion as I have been organizing, it seems that all I am really doing is moving things from one spot to another...sigh. :D

So that about does it for now.
