Bakers Twine

Hello Friends! Have you heard of the super awesome company called Pick Your Plum? They have all different sorts of things that they sell. They have only a limited amount of each item, so their tag line, "Get it before you neighbor does" is totally true! Their items go FAST because they are so super cheap...inexpensive that is! You may have noticed on my sidebar that I have a link to their website on a regular basis. I noticed this deal today and had to share it with you today because...... I LOVE Bakers twine! I use it to wrap presents, use on cards, banners, and so many other things! Look at all those super fun colors! If you would like to purchase it, just click the "Get it" on my sidebar and that will take you to their website. You can buy the bakers twine, and sign up for their daily emails, so you can "Get it before your neighbor does!"...or get it before I do!

So what do you use Baker's Twine for?

Have a Super fun day!

1. Cut your paper to fit inside your laminating pouches

2. Put "Clean" and then "Dirty" letter stickers on scrapbook paper

3. Put pouch inside laminator

4. Take out and Tie ribbon on!

5. Enjoy!

My 17 year old cousin came up with this craft! Isn't she great?!

She is quite crafty and always amazes me with her talent!

Have a Super day!

Happy 4th!

It was as hot as the dickens here yesterday! 

Oh my! I'm so happy that we were able to spend our time up at the lake! 

Happy 4th of July!

We drank smoothies

Swam in the lake

Took a boat ride

and my son's ultimate favorite was going to look at nature with his great uncle!

Bye Bye Crayon.. Hello Clean!

Recently, I cleaned out my classroom and said goodbye to teaching!

 I found these baskets when I was cleaning it out.

I was so excited because I'm redoing my craft room and needed little baskets.

The only problem was that they were all marked up from the crayons.

I tried everything to clean them up and nothing worked until I became friends with

Mr. Clean and his Magic Eraser Pads! Have any of you tried these? Oh my, they work wonders!

Seriously, look at the pictures above, and it is proof!

The only thing they don't do as well on is pencil markings. 

Crayon is like a miracle, but pencil is not, so I just used a regular eraser!

They are all clean now and in my craft room!

What are your tricks for cleaning?

Hope your day is SUPER fun!

End of the Year Cookie Treat

Participating in summer camps or taking a summer class? 

Well, my husband taught a summer law class. 

So, of course, I had to make a cute little treat for his students for their last day!

Do you watch the tv show shark tank? I absolutely LOVE it!

You may remember a cute little lady, Blondie, who came out and talked

about her cookies, "Blondie's Cookies".

Well, I almost fell out of my chair because we have one of those stores in our mall!

They are by far THE BEST cookie you will ever have in your life....NO JOKE!

Since we found out that they were in financial trouble we had to support them even more,

because if they went out of business not only would I be sad, but my entire family for sure!

So we bought the cookies from Blondies, which you can check her out here and wrapped them up all cute.
My husband was like, "Why don't you just send in some napkins and they can just grab a cookie".....very thoughtful of him, but this type of thing is right up my alley, so I made a printable, which is at the end of the this post, some ribbon, tape, XL Circular punch, regular hole punch, foam stickers, and cellophane bags.

Here is how I secured it in the back with a foam sticker

I hope you enjoy this printable!

Just right click on the printable itself and download it by

clicking "Save Image As"....

Obviously you know that this is just for personal use only:)

Thanks:)!

For newbies, just use an XL circular punch if you want to make the treat like I did:)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a SUPER fun day!

Dress Up Your Flower Pots

Sometimes it's fun to add a little something to a flower pot to give it height, a bit of color, or interest.

You may remember a post I did where I added vinyl house numbers to a flower pot. If not, you can check it out here.

Today, I decided to add these flower picks to our Brella Bowl for fun.

If you notice the plates, cups, etc... in the background of the pictures, I won those at 

a recent wedding shower I went to. I never win at Bingo, but I did and got all of the dishes as my prize!

Woot Woot! I was so excited, so I made these flower picks to go with the dishes.

Want to make some?

These are sticks are so much fun! 

What do you do to dress up your planters?

I hope you have a Super fun day!

Easy Way to Cut a Mango

Who loves mangoes?! I do I do! 

The only problem was that I had the hardest time cutting them until......

my friend taught me this trick, thanks Becky!

*I cut vertical and horizontal slices because it's easier for my kids to eat, but you don't have to do both, obviously!*

So easy, right? 

Now how do you eat your mangoes?

Plain, in a salad, in salsa?

Do you have any recipes you want to share?

Hope you have a SUPER fun day!
