MIY Eco-Friendly Garden Decor: Re-cycled & Re-vamped
“Bee-utiful Baskets” with Eco Buzz”,
Don’t just throw out old under the weather looking flower
baskets. Recycle them by reviving them colour and style. Make
them look even better than new by using latex paints for
plastics. The paint’s special formula creates a spectacular
weather-resistant finish. The best way to apply paint to wicker
baskets and items (aside from spray painting them) is to use a
sponge brush. Unlike a standard paintbrush, a sponge brush
can get the paint into all the nooks and grooves evenly buy
just squeezing the brush over theses areas.. The colourful
baskets are embellished with a bejewelled collars and
bead-and-wire bugs, bees and dragonflies to beautify them.
Fill your newly created eco deco basket with gardening
goodies or blooms for Mom, a perfect Mother's Day gift that
she is sure to enjoy!!!! TO view the full MIY eco craft project

MIY Apricot and Mango Spread... (No Sugar)
People are always asking me why I’m so slim for my age….Hahahah..Well...
Here’s my secret, it's purely simple, I simply don’t eat sweets or junk food.... it's not
because I don’t like them, it's because they don’t agree with my body, so I listen to
my body and I don't eat them. Paying attention to what you eat and how they
react to your body is all part of a healthier you lifestyle.
I’m the type of cook that likes to cook with a bit of this and that. I keep cooking
simple, except for Sunday family dinners. I like to cook with what I call “how did
you make that" recipe? When I go to people house’s for dinner or parties, when I
like something, I always ask how did you make that? That’s pretty much how I
gather most of my recipes, by word of mouth (no need to write them down) and
taste of course! As I make it, I usually add something else to it to make it a bit
different....then they come to my house and say, hey "How did you make that?"
For those who don’t like or can’t eat sugar like diabetics; Here’s a super easy
recipe to make no sugar added apricot and mango spread. Even if you like sugar
this recipe is so easy you will want to try it, because it taste great. My kids love it
(plus they don’t know there’s no sugar). It’s perfect to make in the spring and
winter time when fresh fruits are not as abundant. It’s so easy you can make this
spread almost anywhere anything, from the cottage to even camping. You really
can't go wrong with this super easy recipe.
To see how easy it is to make this spread...have look, visit and let me know what
you think!!!!
This is something new that i'm doing on my site, is adding O so easy recipes, with
step-by-step photo recipes...

Chalkboard Art Project
Chalkboard Art Decor Project : Chalk it up!!!!
Give the family a creative outlet. New artwork
can be created daily. Family and guests will want
to fill the board with their creativity. Having an
chalkboard art canvas in a central part of your
home such as your kitchen or hallways makes
it very convenient and accessible to the whole family.
It's Perfect to write down notes, grocery lists, and those
Spring to-do chore lists!!!!!
Chalk paints are easy-to-apply; they create a tough, slate-like chalkboard surface on
wood, metal, plaster, plastic, or glass. So why not use it art canvases? They are fast
drying, low gloss, durable, and washable. It goes on easy and levels out by itself for a
smooth finish without runs. Chalkboard paint is so versatile, especially in the new
delicious colours by Pebeo. It can be used on practically any surface from walls to
floors. Flat surfaces such as tabletops are ideal surfaces for children’s artwork,
keeping notes or playing a game. I just love this new format, because it non-toxic,
water based and is applied with a paintbrush! Super easy, dries fast too! View the full

| ~Happy Mother's Day~ This is a picture of with my youngest son Hayden, when he was younger. I would like to remind you to take lots of pictures with your kids this weekend, for these precious moments just go by to fast. Quotes for Mother's Day These are some of my favorite Mothers' Day Quotes that I would like to share with you. |
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.
She never existed before. The woman existed, but the
mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
~Rajneesh
A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your
mother.
~Author Unknown
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four
pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she
never did care for pie.
~Tenneva Jordan
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
~George Cooper
Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried
jobs... since the payment is pure love.
~Mildred B. Vermont
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in
your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once
for herself and once for her child.
~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty
A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best,
but his mother the longest.
~Irish Proverb
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little
children.
~William Makepeace Thackeray
Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but
their hearts forever.
Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of
which you will always find forgiveness.
~ Honore de Balzac
