Desk Redo

Quite a few years ago my Uncle gave me this old sewing table. It's been sitting at my parents house because I havn't had room for it, but now that we have a house I had the perfect spot for it.

Just off of the kitchen.

I removed the old sewing machine. It didn't work and was sooo heavy.

Then I gave her some love. I sanded, primed and then painted.

I love the old handles and left them just as the were.

Did you know...

that today is Cafe Rio day?

I have great love for the Rio.

It carried me through two pregnancies. Oh so good.

Go out and get some good eats at Cafe Rio. I think I will. :)

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you and yours! Hope it's a wonderful day!

Paper Fan Border

I love scrapbook paper, but I'm not a scrapbooker. I love looking at all the cute patterns and color combinations. One day while I was looking at the paper at the craft store, I got the idea to make a border around the girls' bedroom out of paper fans. I waited until the paper went on sale and then stocked up and started making the fans. I took a little bit of time but pretty soon I had enough to go around the entire room. I hung them to the ceiling using fishing line and push pins. It really adds a lot to their girly-girl room.

Yummy Chocolatey Bird Nests

These are fun to make with your kids and are really tasty too!

Ingredients:

 12 oz. chocolate chips

1/3 cup Peanut butter

3 cups chow mein noodles

1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir to make sure all is melted. Stir in peanut butter. Microwave 1 minute more.

Then stir in the noodles and cereal like so...

And taste it to make sure it's alright :)

Drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper, form into nest shapes. Put eggs of your liking in the nests, we used Peanut M &Ms (they are our fave around here)

Let cool in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
