A Grad Gift for Tyler

As my addiction to Pinterest grows, I have actually started creating some of the great things that I pin. Here is the most recent. A very simple graduation gift. Instead of giving cash in a card, Why not give a money dispenser. Here is how:

You will need:
Tape
Cash
Kleenex Box
Paper

Step One:

Tape the Dollar bills together lengthwise and then roll them up. I left enough space between the bills so that they can be easily cut apart.




Step Two:

Attach one tissue to the end of the roll and then put the roll in the box with only the tissue showing. I put a little sign that said pull when needed. Here is the finished product... By the way, Tyler is a fisherman, so this box was a perfect find...

Post-it Notes

One of my besties made me a Post-it holder for my birthday... I love it so much i decided to make one for a friend... This is my version.



It is super easy to make... just a pretty piece of paper, a plastic frame, a tag, some puffy letters, ribbon and a Post-it pad... Hot glue it all together and VOILA, adorable gift.

Tank top re do!
My adorable husband bought me this tank top at an event he attended for his friend who lost his life in the avalanche... Its cute that he thinks I am an xsmall, but since that is not reality and since I didn't want to get rid of something that has meaning, I decided to sew up the bottom and add a bow for a new beach bag.... What do ya think?

Stuffed Chicken ala Nick

As I have mentioned before, my husband is a genius in the kitchen... I am always in Awww when it gets towards the end of the week and we need to go to the grocery store as we are running out of everything, and I come home to this beautiful, healthy and EXTREMELY YUMMY meal... This is what I get when we are down to the last few vegetables in the drawer and a few boneless breasts of chicken.... Mmmmm

Chicken is stuffed with spinach, tomato, peppers, onions and garlic, then topped with some Mushroom soup... Green beans are firm and tasty and the brown basmati is cooked to perfection topped with a bit of fresh parmesan. Yes I am a lucky girl!!! Thank you Babe!



I promise to start posting some pictures of what we eat when we actually plan a meal! =)
