Cherry Tuffle covered Taxes?

I intend to spend 15 minutes working in my office. 

 Which room are you going to tackle today?

Yes Yes Yes today is a day of Massive organization of Office Equipment and filing systems!

Tax Season is here & our tax guy deserves accurate book keeping as well as I deserve a Cherry Truffle.

Well, He'll get Organized records 

But I'm not sure I'll get that Truffle reward!

I've got to keep in mind, 15 mins to organize my papers just is not enough time

SO Thankfully, I invested a few dollars in a Ledger Work Book!

Availible at Office Max stores everywhere!


Computer keeping is One thing
But when Your hand is doing the actual writing of your daily or weekly transactions
You tend to keep better score of your Winnings & Losses



Computers are great, but one crash,
You've lost it all!

Keep a Hand Ledger
It may be more work
But the budget will Thank You for taking the time 

~~~~~~~~

Some Little tax tips?

Oh Sure, The season calls for it!

~~~~~~~

1) Keep business a way from Personal, I mean Far Away ~ So Far it's NOT in the Business room!

2) Keep business bank statements All in one file! ~ Bank Statements are the vital records to back up all those nasty receipts! Easy enough right!

3) Make sure, You Never EVER EVER Eat a Cherry Truffel IN THE BUSINESS ROOM!

~ Just saying~

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!

3 

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

Got more Ideas?
Let's Jingle Them around

Fails FC FB Halloween Hooters! Do It Yourself! or Please Don't

October 25th, 2012

FAILS

REALLY?
Um No I'm Not upset or Jealous that I did not think of this first
Okay so you had someone paint your butt
WHY?
Are you going to go naked on Halloween?
I don't even want to know how far in the spackle had to be be applied
WTH?
Please Just do not turn around
I'm afraid of WHAT might be painted on the front side!

Okay, I had to giggle at this one.
In fact the longer I look at the picture and realize,
That Is their real hair
The eyes start to Look Funnier
I can imagine Myself in the room w/ them
Having to change my depends a few times

Um,
Not for Anyone who cares about their bloodsugar balance
Do you want a cookie with your icing?
But Hey You tried
Maybe next time instead of Bulging Eye Sugar overloads
You should give it a go w/a healthier topping
Raisins for bugs
Prunes for bigger bugs
You get the idea

Okay SORRY!
BUT I HAVE To BUY One of these for Kelley!
She Would Oh Yes, She Would wear this
With no shame either
She'd call it Her big cleff chin shirt

Toilet Paper Rolls + Halloween = No Drive by Eggings

I make these and put in my bushes for Halloween

Finally someone Made it look interesting!

Kids see them way before the adults do
Now, Instead of using glow sticks
We can actually buy glow paint!
I think the sticks work better mainly because
When you run out of candy
And those Little Monsters Pull out their Eggs aiming at your house

A simple shoelace tied through the holes & Around the Glow stick
Make Wonderful Necklaces for the evenings Fun

~~No MERE Eggs On MY HAUS!~~~

The Roofers banged away doing their job after that last hail producing storm!

 Let's hope the beef jerky goes a little easier.

the Menu sign I crafted sure is earning it's Keep around here!
Not to mention This little Lady and her Mad Display dish Upcycles!
