Quick Cookie Cover Your Eyes


The Worlds BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE RECIPE

BUDGET AND BE A STAR!



Kelley shared this recipe with me the other day
I had to hurry and get something pulled together for the house showing
And we are told COOKIES help sell the house!



The Aroma, The Lure, The Capture & The Closing!

This is a recipe found all over the internet!
I can't believe I missed it!
But that's what this blog is all about
Finding those easy peesy and sometimes cheesy ideas and keeping them going.

3 INGREDIENTS!


I did not think they would ever work!
But I am Sometimes
(Sometimes, hardly ever, but sometimes ummmm Not so Correct)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup Sugar
1 Egg
~~~~~~
Mix them together 
~ Roll into Balls
~ Set on cookie sheet (ungreased)
~ Bake 350 for approx 10 mins
~ Let sit for a few minutes


Put them on a Lace Doilies on one of your
Fabulously created display dishes
AND WAL LA!



No flour mess to clean up!
No mixing dishes
And they actually taste Better than the 20 Ingredient ~ Back breaking ~ Do all the dishes afterwards Cookies!

You can Still add anything you want to them
OMG Try these cookies with Banana!
Oh Shoot I'm thinking a Raisin Nut Peanut butter coming on
CALM DOWN DAWN!
For the time saved w/less ingredients
The more time you have to add what ever you want to the mix!

~For Christmas~
My favorite Reese Piece Miniature cups Squished flat and put in the CENTER
of 2 cookie dough balls... Squish down again
~Bake~
The sprinkled or Covered in Snow (powdered sugar)
(DROOLING)

You know Kelley, She can't bake worth a darn 
(rumor has it, Her No bake cookies Never set ~ She burnt water once & actually clogged a toilet w/spagetti ~ Long story)
I'll have to see if she still has the pictures from that event
But She can pull these off!

Christmas Trees & Ugly Sweaters

Christmas Easy to do decorations
Best hand crafted gifts ever

** Craft Images found on Google Search**

Here's a Cute little Idea!
You know those Smaller glass candle Jars w/lids
We just never know what to do with after the wick is burn to the bottom!
Well Dollar Tree has MINATURES!
Minature Snowmen, people, dogs playing in the snow!
My girlfriend Kelley actually made something similar to the Snowman in Jar picture below

She Used 6000 series glue, added a Mini snowman to the inside bottom
Of a cleaned out baby food jar
Then added White Powdered LAUNDRY SOAP & Gold Glitter
To play as the snow
Easy as Pie to do and the Kids Love picking out their own people to use in their jars!


NOSEW GLUE!!
I Love NoSew Glue! Easy as Pie Felt Stockings!
If you have tons of old pillow cases, Torn shirts, Ready to Toss Blue Jeans
STOP NOW!
Do Not Throw them away
Run do not walk to WALMART
In the sewing section they have the GLUE
That takes the OUCH out of Stitching
1)Cut your Stocking pattern,
(remember to cut the pattern about 1.5" bigger than what you really want it)
2) Apply the glue, to the edges and press together
(I use a heavy book on top)
3) Let sit about 20 mins.
4) MEANWHILE Cut your Fun applications from a fun contrasting fabric
5) The turn the stocking Inside out so the seam is on the inside
Your stocking should have No seam holes
This glue is amazing even on the most fragile of fabrics
Apply your applications & Ta Da!
Just fill with fun stuff and hang!


I love this cute sidewalk greeting
I the idea is pretty obvious
You can Pick up the dow rods at walmart for about 25cents each



White is always beautiful for Christmas Elegance!
Silver toned piller style candle holders can be picked up at any thrift for Under $1
The Big craze is NOT to have uniform or Matching candle holders
Mixing up the styles Is THE THING.
You can repaint them a high gloss Silver or Gold,
Or perhaps You really want to go all out on the Red green & white Christmas Theme
I'm Telling ya,
There is a Spray Paint for that!
 

I found this wreath by going through tons of Photos
It is So Holiday
So I chose it to give an idea on how easy Wreaths can be thrown together
If you have a vision and a dollar store / thrift close by

The Wreaths Oh Goodness Let me tell you
Even if you find the beat up old bones of a wreath at the thrift (49cents),
The dollar stores sell Garland
GRAB 2 or 3 ($3)
1 Box of individually Sealed candy canes ($1)
The Red balls can be found in packages for ($1)
Never use spray paint on foam products ~ The spray paint literally reduces the foam to a liquid!
USE that Fab 6000series glue (2.49)
1 Metal over the door hanger ($1)
Total Under $10
and you have a wreath Someone who is not so crafty would have paid $30 for.




The fireplace ipod video in a sweater pouch
Now I thought this was hilarious!
Take an Ugly christmas sweater and your no sew glue! 
Add a pouch to the center of your sweater, cutting out a rectangle center
(to create a type of fabric picture frame)
Add Your Ipad ~ Set it to Fireplace, family photo slideshow or anything representing the season
