Leaf and Acorn Breakfast (Pancake and Sausages)

After I made the "Fall Color Leaf Cookies" I got this idea to do the same thing with pancakes for breakfast. It is so easy to make and the kids will love it!

 All you need is Pancake mix, leaf cookie cutters, food coloring and three squeeze bottles ( I used an old ketchup bottle for my third one because I only had two squeeze bottles but it works the same). Mix your pancake mix and separate them into the three separate bottles. With the food coloring, color the pancake mixes red, orange, and yellow.

                     

Take one color at a time and make a circle and swirls in the pan on top of each color. Then flip and cook your pancakes as normal. 

After all the pancakes are done use your cookie cutters and cut the pancakes into leaf shapes.

That's it!!

I then took breakfast sausages and cut them up to look like little acorns.

Fall Color Leaf Cookies

I have seen this idea in magazines and ALL OVER Pinterest for the past two years and I FINALLY was able to make it this year. This is so cute, fun, and easy recipe that you and the kiddos can make.

 First take any sugar cookie dough (store bought or homemade) and separate the dough into three pieces. Color pieces of dough red, orange, and yellow with food coloring. It is ok if you don't completely cover the dough with the color and some white still shows.

Give each child a piece of  the three colors of dough.

Have then push the color together to form a ball.

Then let the kiddos roll out the dough.

Give them the leaf cookie cutter and let them cut out as many leaves as they can.

Bake the cookies depending on the recipe you are using.

That's it!

The girls had fun with these cookies. They love to cook and bake so anytime I let them bake or cook they get happy!

DIY "Bling Vases"

I saw this idea for these vases all over Pinterest for Wedding Décor and I knew I wanted to create them myself for my house. Now these vases are easy to make but do take time to make and you need a lot of Jewels or Gems for them so I suggest if you make these make them when you can find the Jewels or Gems on sale. Michael's, Joann's, and Hobby Lobby always have good sales.

I got my vases (of course) at Dollar Tree and the Jewels at Wal-mart and Joann's. I then glued the Jewels on the vases with a hot glue gun.

Now they look pretty just like this but I tied ribbon around mine.

That is it!

I put my vases on top of my DIY "Elegant Decor". I used this one at my desk for my pencils and pens.

I put this one in my bathroom and used it for our toothbrushes.

DIY "Elegant Decor"

DIY " Elegant Decor"

I have been having this idea for this project in my head for months and I finally found time to make it and it came out better than I thought it would.

First I got these candle holders from dollar tree and glued them together. Then I spray painted them.

Then I strung some beads the length of the circle to put around it.

Then I strung two different size length beads to connect to the first one I strung so that they would dangle.

Then I hot glued the strung beads around the outer edge of the circle.

That is it.

I put my DIY "Bling Vases" on top of them and used this one at my desk for my pens and pencils.

This one I put in my bathroom for my toothbrushes.

You can use these also for candles or other things. Love how I can have a elegant look without spending a lot. You may also use these for serving trays or dessert trays but make sure you put napkin on it before you put the food because you want to protect the food from the paint you spray painted on it.

DIY Paper Towel Roll Jewelry Holder

I wanted to organize my jewelry but I didn't want to buy the jewelry holder because I didn't want to spend 25- 30 dollars on the one I wanted and then I thought I can make this. So then I was thinking how I can make it and it came to me one day as I was driving to pick up Ari at school, I can make it out of paper towel rolls. So this is what I came up with.

All you need is one toilet paper roll and five paper towel rolls.

Also you need a plate or serving dish as a base. I was going to use just a piece of cardboard but then I thought I need something sturdy to be the base so I bought this one at Dollar Tree.

First take one of the paper towel rolls and use the toilet paper roll as a stencil to draw a circle in the middle of the roll.

Then cut the circle out.

Now take the toilet paper roll and push it into the hole to create a "T" shape. This will be your first tier. I used hot glue to make them stick and stay together.

For the second tier cut the paper towel roll 1 and 1/4 inch high then the first tier. For the third tier cut the paper towel roll 1 and 1/4 inch higher then the second tier. Then cut holes in the last two paper towel roll just like you did the first one and push the two cut paper towel rolls into the holes. To make it stay I used the hot glue to glue it together. Now you will have three tiers one higher than the other.

Now it is time to glue. I used a hot glue gun. (Which you can get at Dollar Tree)  Glue the medium size tier first in the middle of the serving dish.

Then glue the tallest tier next behind the medium one.

Then glue the smallest tier next in front of the medium tier.

Now it is time to spray paint. I used black because I already had some on hand but you can paint it whatever color you want.

That is it!

I was so happy with this project I came up with because instead of me spending 25-30 dollars, I only had to spend one dollar to organize my jewelry!
