Colorful Party Ice Cubes Using Food Coloring!


So, to live up to the series's name, 
I saw this idea on Pinterest, using kool aid. I try to stay away from extra sugar if I can, so instead, I just used straight water and some food coloring drops.

Love Notes {Have People Write Encouraging Notes to the Guest of Honor & hang them on a Garland!}


This is a great interactive decoration for any party.
This would be a great Guest Book idea for a wedding. Or you can use it to leave notes of congratulations and encouragement for events such as graduations, birthdays, or anniversaries.

Paper Lantern {Under $5 Project}


Paper Lanterns give such a big statement.
I always thought that they were expensive- until I saw them at the Christmas Tree Shops for $1.50 each (we're talking about 30" wide lanterns) So I grabbed some!

Game Day Hot Wings

It's Football Season again- in our house that means it's Hot Wing Season too! 
 

I had never fried a chicken until my husband told me how much he loves fried hot wings. So, because I love him so much I gave it a try! These are a huge favorite at our place and are the perfect Game Day Food.

DIY Rustic Centerpiece Box


 I had some extra boards left over from previous projects, and after seeing Shanty 2 Chic's Planter Box Centerpiece, I got inspired to make a "chunkier" version of my own.

Sharpie on Ceramics! Bake at 350 for 30 minutes & it's permanent!

 If you're on Pinterest, I am sure most of you have seen this awesome idea- Writing on your dishes with sharpies! I love Crafty Texas Girl's Version, A Beautiful Mess also did an adorable version & Brooklyn Limestone has a great plate idea (however, she uses a real ceramic pen for hers.)  If you bake the sharpie design on it, its supposed to be permanent. I just had to give this one a try! 

First, wash & dry your dishes.

DIY Oatmeal Flour Using Blender {Healthy and Delicious Alternative to Bleached Flour}

First off, I am NOT a health freak. I like my fried chicken & sweets. But I do want to make sure my family isn't getting overly processed foods.


My mom fed us waaaaaaay too much oatmeal, so I have personally pretty much lost my taste for stove top oatmeal. But this is sooo delicious in flour form.
