Popsicle Sticks Puzzle

I have a bad addiction to Pinterest followed closely by the dollar store. If only I could get fabric there, I might never leave.

Luckily Pinterest and the dollar store go together. Especially when it comes to the kids section. There are so many creative ideas for toys and activities. One really quick and inexpensive craft is popsicle stick puzzles. I found a set of alphabet cards (of course, dollar store) that would make great puzzles.

Glitter Jars

I was really inspired by the glitter mason jars all over Pinterest, specifically this one. Seems easy, it's just glue and glitter. Right? Well....

Peach Cobbler

We moved into a house last year with a peach tree in the yard. I was so excited to taste my first fresh peach and EW they were dry and tasteless. It could be because I didn't water the tree (disclaimer: you will never see a post about what a great gardener I am). This year is different, mostly because my husband took over watering, but the peaches are great! With more fruit then one family can eat, I decided to make peach cobbler.

4th of July Wreath

This is a little late but I made a wreath for our 4th of BBQ. I wanted something festive (and cheap) so after looking around on pintrest I knew I was going with some kind of fabric wrapped wreath. A quick trip to the dollar store with some strips of fabric I had on hand, the wreath was done.

Festive White Chocolate Tart

I was at Ikea and came across a tart pan. Picking it up in my hands I immediately had Martha Stewart-like visions of fresh tomato tarts. I had to have that dish since the tomatoes in my mom's garden were coming in. It has sat in my kitchen cabinet collecting dust ever since.

Fast forward 5 years and I decided to use it for a Forth of July BBQ at my house. I loved the flag cakes on Pintrest but couldn't quite find the exact recipe to use. I finally settled on a modified white chocolate pie from Pillsbury. It was AMAZING!
