Personalized Mickey And Minnie Mouse Ornaments

For all the Disney lovers these are great gifts! 
My sister is getting married November 3rd and we both love Disney and Disneyland soo much! For her bachelorette we spent the day at Disneyland! I wanted to make her something for Christmas that involved her wedding and Bachelorette. I was one of these minnie ornaments on pinterest and got some great ideas for her gift!
I used ideas from a couple different places and a few of my own, combined them together to get this...




I used the idea for making the inside of the ornament sparkly. Click Here
Then, I used the genius idea to make puff balls the ears and rhinestones as Minnies polka dots. Click Here
Then, I threw my own twist in on the bow and the lettering. Give me a couple more days and then I'll have the Mickey one done for the Mr. 
These would also be cute for a baby's first Christmas!
I love them so much I'm going to make myself and husband one too since it will be our First Christmas as a married couple too! :)

MICKEY MOUSE
Mickey Mouse Ornament is done!! They're pretty much the same as the Minnie Mouse but instead of polka dot rhinestones I used a Q-tip to paint on his white buttons and changed up the ribbon it hangs on! I absolutely love the way these turned out!

Halloween Ghost Wreath


I was a little unsure when I first started making this how it would turn out...but I love it! You can choose to make one with whatever color ribbons you'd like! I think a purple and black one with a witch theme would be super cute too! I didn't take pictures as I was making it so It will be tough for me to describe how I made it but I followed directions from this website...http://blog.mardigrasoutlet.com/2011/08/halloween-wreath-with-deco-mesh-video.html

Materials:
1. Orange Thick Tulle Ribbon...I chose one that had a little sparkle in it!  (From Michaels in Thanksgiving section)
2. Black Pipe Cleaners
   3. Black Sparkle Ribbon 
4. White Letters (Already made from Michaels)
5. A Wood Ghost I painted with White paint and black eyes
6. Wire wreath

Healthier Side to Pizza Rolls

HomeMade Pizza Rolls

My husband loves the frozen pizza rolls from the grocery! However, they're so bad for you! I tried to make a healthier side to them!! He loved them and couldn't even tell I used a couple healthier alternatives!

I used Pillsbury Frozen Pizza Crust (But a Wheat Crust would make it even more healthier) and rolled it out and used a pizza cutter to divide it into squares. I then put 2 slices of Turkey Pepperoni on each square and as much lowfat shredded mozzarella cheese as I could fit. Next time I make these I'm going to use cubed cheese that way you use more cheese but it takes up less space for when you ball them up!


I took the four corners and brought them together to make balls. Placed them in a baking pan lightly sprayed with oil to prevent from sticking. I then painted them with olive oil and sprinkled them with garlic powder,  italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan Cheese! Set the oven to 400 degrees and let them bake for about 25 mins or until golden brown on the top!


Serve Warm with a side of either pizza sauce or marinara sauce whichever you prefer! I haven't tried actually putting the sauce in them but I'm going to try that next time so I will let you all know how it worked :)

Medicine Organization

I got so tired of having medicine everywhere (medicine cabinet, underneath the sink, in drawers) I went to target a bought a plastic tupperware w/ 3 drawers! I would've bought one with 4 but it wouldn't fit under the bathroom sink. I labeled them and put every medicine around the house in it...this way its a one stop shop! Everyone knows where to go when they need it!
