curtains
The only thing that drives me a little crazy is that the wrinkles will not come out! I was able to smooth it out.. but I'm sure you could see some of the wrinkles in these pictures. I ironed for hours and finally just had to give up. I have a wonderful sewing machine, but I'm so scared to use it! So I didn't sew one thing on these curtains. Easy peasy AND cheap! ((the drop cloths were $9.70ea or something like that .. the fabric was $4.12 and the hemming tape was just a couple of dollars)). My kind of decorating!
**I think I'll be changing the lampshades out... that's the only white thing in this room. **
** I didn't take a picture of the actual drop cloth and iron-on tape packaging that I bought.. I just googled some images. I think my size drop cloth was different. **
** if you google (use swagbucks.com!! sign up at the bottom! ;)) drop cloth.. you will actually find a lot of projects like mine! they are quite popular! **
**ignore the length on the left side.. that one turned out to be a little bit longer! lol.. I'm done with the notes now! **

free decorating!
Anywho, all of that to say, I made something and I want to show you guys! ;)
I had to be creative and use what I had around the house.
I am sooooooooo happy with it. I love that I used stuff that I had around the house and didn't have to pay a dime for it!! =)

Yummy Banana Pancakes
- 1c. flour (I used white, but next time I wil do half whole wheat)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 c. milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 bananas, mashed
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, milk, oil and bananas. Use 1/4c. of the batter for each pancake.
Now time for some notes! ;)
If you have a bigger family you might want to double the recipe. I made this for me and the kids and we had it for breakfast 2 days in a row, with not a whole lot left. My kids asked for more though.
Instead of mixing this by hand, I blended it all in my blender. If not the batter will be lumpy because of the bananas. I wanted it all smooth...so much better!
Be careful not to cook the pancakes on too high of a heat, they can get dark really easily with the centers not be "done" all the way.

a parade!
2. If health wasn't an issue, what food could you live off of?
drooooool!!!
3. If you could have one wish granted (besides wishing for more wishes), what would it be?
For me and my family to live until Christ's return. I really don't want to die and leave my family. Or have any of my family die and leave me. Too sad to think about. I'd rather we all go to heaven together at the same time. =)
People say I'm a hypochondriac......

An elegant, sophisticated sounding speaker/talker.

A super Target... Oh, how I miss Target.
10. If you could live in any point in time, when would it be?
1950's
11. If every outfit in your wardrobe had to be one color, what would it be?
Black.. I'm sure a lot of people would say that!
12. If you were one of the seven dwarves, which one would you be?

Happy (I'm pretty much always happy!)
14. What's something we'd be surprised to know about you?
I really don't like it when a stranger or someone I really don't know that well says my name. It's a weird thing, but it kinda irritates me, lol.
Pretty fun, eh? Go join the parade!

spring wreath
After a trip to the dollar store, some cutting and lots and lots of hot glueing, here's the end result.
One question! Should I add a bow to the top center or not? I think I kinda like it as it. But, feel free to tell me your opinion! The best part is that it cost me about $4 to make.
Circle cardboard cut out - Free
3 bags of plastic eggs - $3.00 (still have a few leftover)
1 bag of shredded green paper - $1
I originally wanted some of the easter grass. But my dollar tree didn't have it, so I used the shredded paper, which is all they had.
I looooove it! Now the only thing that bothers me, is that if centered it hides my peep hole. I use that hole every.single.time someone comes to the door, so it has to be off-centered. Oh, well! My family's safety is more important than a wreath being centered, right?! =)
