<br />
here is an easy DIY project that would be super cute for teacher gifts, random acts of kindness gifts or just to have on your own tree.<br />
<br />
here are the supplies i used to make these ornaments:<br />
<br />
tree limb<br />
hand saw<br />
twine<br />
drill with small bit<br />
chalkboard paint<br />
paintbrush<br />
sanding paper<br />
chalk<br />
<br />
find a tree limb that is the width you prefer. keep in mind larger sizes will not hand properly on a tree so keep it about 3 inches. use your handsaw and slice as many pieces off that you would like. always do a few more than needed just in case you mess up on something.<br />
<br />
get your sand paper and sand the side you are going to paint just enough to get the grain of the wood smooth. go ahead and drill a hole at the top portion...not too close to the top to prevent splitting or breaking.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
use chalkboard paint to create your surface. allow it to dry 12-24 hours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
prime your chalkboard surface by lightly running the chalk over the chalk paint area and the cleaning off with a dry/lightly damp cloth.</div>

Homemade Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream

i love homemade ice cream. this recipe is BY FAR one of the easiest you will find. even if you are just a plain ole vanilla ice cream person...this recipe is the base of pretty much any other homemade ice cream you would like to make.<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0TEunOHNpm6ytDmM6ffNJTYDFhwcuCE0CeRxajMXL8MHjOJeaafUl0dsdYRuMJXMztzsWcKbT24U96n8oDmzexwI3FasJY48BBAayzZDRLOs2C4d8a0Bws5r8niXz4_V5vZ2Uxdr3xKL3/s1600/homemade+strawberry+ice+cream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0TEunOHNpm6ytDmM6ffNJTYDFhwcuCE0CeRxajMXL8MHjOJeaafUl0dsdYRuMJXMztzsWcKbT24U96n8oDmzexwI3FasJY48BBAayzZDRLOs2C4d8a0Bws5r8niXz4_V5vZ2Uxdr3xKL3/s640/homemade+strawberry+ice+cream.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
to start out with the homemade strawberry shortcake ice cream you will need to make vanilla. here is my homemade vanilla recipe:</div>
<br /><br />ingredients: <div>
<br />4 c. half-and-half or light cream<br />1 (14 oz) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk<br />2 TBSP vanilla extract<br /></div>
<div>
in large bowl, combine ingredients; mix well. pour into ice cream maker. make according to manufacturer's instructions. freeze leftovers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ta-Da! It's that simple. BUT.... you gotta add a few more things before you serve or put in the freezer. you will also need: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
fresh strawberries (about one c. chopped) </div>
<div>
8 slices of pound cake (homemade recipe coming soon but for now i recommend sara lee frozen pound cake)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
clean and slice your berries...add them. slice your cake into cubes...add them. top with berries and cake if you choose or some cool whip!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

We talked to him for a good while about his pieces and told him a little about who we were and what we did. He then showed us how to make these mantle pieces we all liked. </span></div>

From Ketchepedrakee Creek all the way down to Fox Creek. Anywhere we saw a good collection along the lake bed we would pull over, slide on our rain boots, and gather pieces that were unique. We now have a huge collection on the front porch that I have no clue how to use.</span></div>

For both crafts pictured I let the driftwood dry out, then I brushed it off with a broom or a small hand brush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>I tossed around different ways I could make the driftwood from Lake Wedowee look a little less muddy, and in the end I used some grey paint watered down to give a white washed look. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mix equal parts of perlite/quickrete/peat moss into a large container (make sure your gloves are on!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the three planters that I made I used 4 quarts of each mixed together. then add your water. add water until you have the consistency of cottage cheese and when you ball up the mixture it kinda stays together. (see above photo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
next spray your containers with your pam/cooking spray. for the first attempt i followed the instructions and used a separate container to stack on the inside and press the edges together. (see photo below of containers inside the bag) this method made it difficult to remove them. it messed up my containers because even with the pam i had to break them to remove them. i waited 2 days and tried to remove from the molds and this was the result.</div>

sadly i had to start over...so i did a little research and saw a video from a few years ago on <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/268962/hypertufa-pots" target="_blank">martha stewart's (my hero) show</a>. they did not use an interior mold instead they just packed it into the mold(see photo above)...because who cares what the inside of your planter looks like?? you are gonna have it covered with soil & plants!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
 after a few days i used a rubber hammer (or in my case a rubber tip for a regular hammer) and beat lightly around the edges. slide it out of the mold and use a piece of sand paper to sand any rough edges. place them back into the plastic bag and store them in a dry place for a few weeks. it's very humid here in the south and i found i had to wait an extra week to make sure they were cured. i did not drill a hole in them like it says to...not sure if thats going to be a problem but for drainage i used rocks in the bottom layer. i was too afraid to try to drill since my first batch fell apart and this had been 6 weeks in the making since i first started the project. here is my end result.</div>

so far they have held up nicely even in the rain. it's been 2 weeks and i havent had any problems. my next batch i will be using some of the techniques martha mentioned for adding texture and patterns...might even try some concrete dye to make colored planters for christmas gifts this year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so in the end i estimated each planter to cost about $3 I still have a lot of materials left to make at least 20 more. pretty good deal if you can master the steps and have the patience to wait it out!</div>

DIY Yard Sale Mirror Makeover

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had this project finished for about 2 weeks now and am just now getting around to posting it! (Shame on me!) BUT I have been a busy lady! Mr. B's birthday was this past week and we had a week long celebration (that is still ongoing I might add)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ANYWAYS.... I found this mirror at a yard sale...it had 2 stickers on it one sai $10 and the other said $20. It has a plastic frame but the frame is in excellent shape AND the mirror is high quality....really a good piece. It is about 4 feet high too so i really really wanted it in my living room since I have no wall decor in there at all.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ended up getting the mirror for $5!! WOW i couldnt believe it! I took it home and immediately got ready to paint it white! since i have been talked out of painting my living room white i decided that most of my wall decor will be white and i wish i could have a white couch but with an 8 year old boy in the house that is not gonna happen! plus i am so clumsy....it would probably be me that makes the first stain on it!</div>

last minute teacher appreciation gift

so i have been hella busy trying to get my house in order so i can start inviting guests over...needless to say i have 2 day jobs on top of being mom to one, aunt to 4, and master to one cute but sometimes annoying little pup. at the end of the week i wonder how the heck things went by so quickly. with that being said it shouldn't be surprising that i forgot to think of something to make for my son's awesome teacher & his super awesome bus driver (who is changing routes after 19 years....im terribly upset about this but i wish her the best! xoxox ms. gloria)<br />

luckily....i have my succulent garden started with donations from my mom & my awesome aunt j. so i decide to pass along some "family heirlooms" to 2 ladies who mean a lot! i search the aisle of B's $ store and find nada...next is the F $ and i find for a buck a piece some hanging candle voltives. light bulbs flash and i purchase them. i head to the house...clean them...paint them pastel pink...add my potting soil and a succulent and tah:dah! something they arent gonna get from anyone else!!! i add a few elements to dress them up. i hope they enjoy...last minute sometimes has better results than careful planning!<br />

$1 Thrift Store Shelf Makeover

i have had this project done for a few days but have been busy getting things ready for the upcoming issue of <a href="http://www.lakewedoweelife.com/" target="_blank">Lake Wedowee Life Magazine.</a> i got this ugly 1980's brown shelf from the side of the road everything is left outside 24/7 thrift store on hwy 78 in oxford. (those of you from the area know which one im talking about.) i paid ONE DOLLAR for it....he really wanted 3 but i told him no way because it was dated and ugly. what he didnt know was i had plans for it to go into my beach cottage chic themed bathroom. i sprayed it with ocean blue then went over it with a coat of antique white to help hide the blemishes from it's age. it's not perfect...but for a dollar and a little spray paint it turned out really cute. <br />
<br />
the frame to the right was also purchased at the same thrift store for fifty cents. the star fish was purchased at a souvenier shop for a dollar. this whole look only cost me $5 (the awesome white frame was a house warming gift from kirkland's) and the sand is from puerta vallarta. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow is "Love Your Pet Day" so in honor of this I wanted to post some pet crafts I have found online.</div>

one of the absolute best places to find pet crafts is at <a href="http://marthastewart.com/">MarthaStewart.com</a> As much as it kills me to say this (because Martha is one of my all time favorite people and inspirations) some of her crafts are for more advanced crafters. however, i found a few from her that are not that advanced.</div>
