DIY Cork Picture Coasters

Hello!

It's Thursday

Which means it's almost Friday

Which means it's almost the weekend

Finallyyyyy

Anywho, the next two days are going to be some DIY's because I'm just that crafty

Today's craft is cork picture coasters

I made these for my sister for Christmas

I just went onto her Instagram and printed off some of the pictures she had on there

  The pictures

I made them 4x4 on Microsoft Word

 

The coasters

I found them at Michaels

 Mod Podge

Obviously

I already had this

 I traced the coasters on the pictures and then cut them out

 Then I took cardstock and did traced the coasters onto it

 And cut them out

 Spread a thin layer of Mod Podge onto the coaster

 Put the card stock onto the coaster and then let dry for about 15 minutes

After that put a thin layer of Mod Podge on the card stock and put the picture onto it

Let dry for about 15 minutes 

 Seal with a thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the pictures

 Let dry and then give them to who ever you made them for

Easy as cake

Just the way I like my crafts!

2012: A Year in Review

Hello again

So I don't usually post twice in one day

Sometimes we all get lucky if I post twice in a week

Kidding... kind of

But this looked like fun!

 It's 2012 in Review!

I am going to start from March because that is when I started this little blog of mine

So here we go

March:
I created this blog!
I tried my hand at making something other than cereal

 I had a few run ins with some birds

 And I went mushroom hunting for the first time

April:
I made my first DIY.

I had to watch One Tree Hill end.
(talk about a sad day)
My cousin had her bridal shower.

May:
My sister walked on the field at Busch Stadium and I was super jealous.
We had to put our family dog down.
I made a bucket list.
And I went to the zoo for the first time in FOREVER

June:
I celebrated my cousins bachelorette party.

I got wedding fever, so naturally I planned my own wedding.
I got to spend a whole week with my family!
My cousin got married!

July:
I wrote to myself at 16.
I admitted that I was wrong (Which NEVER happens)
I went to some county fairs and did some creek riding.

Taco in a bag .. be jealous

August:
I made some Spongebob Cookies (with the help of my Aunt of course)

I celebrated August 22.
I went to Wild Country and haven't stopped going since.

September:
I got my third tattoo.

 I shared with you my future husbands.
And I road tripped to Ohio!

October:
I celebrated my best friends 21st birthday.
I cheered on the Cards as they went to the playoffs.
I turned 21!
And I broke my wittle baby toe.


November:
I went on a first date.
I went shooting.

I talked about my constant life of embarrassment.

December:
I taught you all how to Snapchat.

I made a super awesome ginger bread house.
I experienced my first adult work week (and it sucked).

And that was my year in review.
I'm sure a lot more happened
I just either forgot about it or didn't capture it to blog about it.
I am hoping to be more productive in my blogging this year.
But we all know how I am about actually getting stuff done...

I am the Iron Chef

Hi

It's been awhile

I have been so extremely busy with the holidays that this little blog has been neglected

It also didn't help that I didn't have access to an actual computer for the past two weeks

So here we are and I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday

My cousin came home for a week over Christmas 

Her 30th birthday was the 20th so we had a surprise party for her

It was a chef cook off

Now let me tell you, I am a wonderful cook

From mac n cheese to cereal, I have it all mastered

So naturally my team put me in charge of the big stuff like cutting up the vegetables or preparing the pecans to be baked for 10 minutes

You know, the important stuff

 They had the kitchen all set up and ready for us

 All of us cooking and preparing our food

 

 On the left is Team 1 (my team) salad. 

It consisted of: basalmic vingeratte dressing, fried goat cheese and baked pecans

On the right is Team 2's salad.

It consisted of: tomatoes, onions, some kind of dressing and artichoke heart

On the left is Team 1's main dish.

It consisted of: lamb, baked veggies and lobster mac n cheese

On the right is Team 2's dish.

It consisted of: tenderloin (I think), horseradish sauce, lemon asperagas, and lobster twice baked potato

Obviously my team won.

And obviously it was because of my amazingggg cooking skills

It was a lot of fun and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys cooking!
