Sweets for your Sweetie

I found a great idea the other day while browsing One of a Kind Gifts

These girls have TONS of cute ideas to browse so, I've borrowed one of their ideas to share with all of you. Visit their site by clicking on the link above... You won't be sorry!

You may have noticed that Ben & Jerry's has many fun, non-traditional flavors of ice cream. For the ice-cream lover in your life, look no further!

Tiffany's Tuesday Tip #10 - Crystal Clear

SKooKie!

Round up the family for a new twist on fresh baked cookies, brownies & MORE!

Don’t we ALL love the Pzookie dessert from our favorite local chain restaurant?! The Skookie pans come pretty close to re-creating the dessert experience without the wait for a table and the LOUD restaurant. I purchased mine from Bass Pro Shop (only $19.99) but, you can always find them on Amazon.com

Here are the goodies you will need to bake up an oh-so-yummy Skookie! I use prepared cookie dough and they turn out warm, yummy oversized cookies every time.

These tasty treats will quickly become a family favorite!

So far the skillets have cleaned up easily. I try to clean them as soon as we are finished eating. Since the boys just about lick them clean anyway, there isn't much cleaning to do.

**Tiffany’s Tip: Try making mini-pizzas with pre-made dough with equal success.**

Favorite Song Friday - Son of a Preacher Man

I just adore Joss Stone's voice!

I'm on vacation with the girl's enjoying some relaxation time. I hope you do the same over the weekend & I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday Blogland!

Aprons for HIM

FuN aprons are a MUST in my kitchen & I think these ROCK!!

With BBQ season is in full swing, these aprons a PERFECT for the grillin' guy in your life.

I found these aprons HERE.

**If your as crafty as try to be, I know that you can easily make one of these!**

Aren't they awesome?!

Wonderfully Wordy

I'm always looking great ideas to share with you & I just LOVE this one! I am a HUGE fan of vinyl lettering and have had it in my home for years; therefore, I am thrilled that it has caught on & stuck in the home decorator world.



I am LOVE, LOVIN' the way Wonderfully Wordy has decorated her pantry door!

Be Prepared!

Tiffany's Tuesday Tip: It's better to be safe than sorry!

Big D and I are trying to get a little more prepared in case of an emergency. After experiencing Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike (and with Hermina in the Gulf), we realize that you can NEVER be "too prepared" and I think it's smart to make sure we all take precautions ahead of time!

The Creative Homemaker had a post on a whole LIST of great blogs and websites that can help you get prepared for any emergency. I think these lists are VERY helpful & I hope this helps some of you too!

I'm a CROPaholic!

Have you wondered where I disappeared to?! I have been in Scrapbook HeLL... I mean Heaven (I really do)!

Every year, my Sorority completes a Scrapbook and presents it to the outgoing President of our chapter. This year, I decided to chair the Scrapbook Committee... What a BIG project! After many months of working with my incredible committee, I could not have imagined a more fabulous scrapbook! A 75 page scrapbook!

Our outgoing President was beside herself and brought to tears... Every papercut and struggle for something new creatively were totally worth it.

Here are a very few pics of how it turned out... Our theme this year was Passport to Adventure & I can promise you it was definitely adventuresome!

Happy 90210

In Honor of one of my ALL time FAVORITE shows & today's date...

Happy 90210!!
