I've been Featured! and An Award!

My humble little blog has been getting an incredible number of hits the past few days since I posted my dryer ball tute. Now, my tutorial has been featured over at Fireflies and Jellybeans!  Wow, I'm so thrilled!



As if that weren't enough, I've also been given the Stylish Blogger Award by Sitting at Our Kitchen Table! It's been a good week for my blog!


Here are the required 7 things about me:

1) I'm a full time mom to this adorable little bundle of energy who rocks my world.

2) I live in a town called Holland, MI, where thousands and thousands of tulips bloom every May during the Tulip Time Festival.


3) Before I was a mother I was studying to be an Occupational Therapist, and I worked with abused and homeless teenage girls in a long-term shelter. I loved my job, and I still miss it and my girls.

4) I married this guy 4 months after I met him.


5) I'm a horrible house keeper. Cleaning is for the birds in my opinion.

6) I am, however, very good at putting things together. I am the resident handy-woman, and fixer-of-all-things.


7) I have a huge button collection. I haven't added to it in at least 10 years, and I've been using them up whenever possible, and yet I still have all of these. My favorite are antique colored glass, and antique black glass buttons. 


So there ya have it!

Mini Caramel Apples & a Feature

Warning: The following post may make you smack your head in a why-didn't-I-think-of-that moment, then run to the store against your will to copy this idea. Please use caution while proceeding.



I have a confession. I'm in love. I'm in love with this idea, and with Christy's blog From Glitter To Gumdrops. Mini caramel apples? Of course! I like caramel apples, but I won't eat them because they're too difficult/messy to eat on top of being too much sugar for a whole apple. Enter these single-serve caramel apples, and I'm in heaven! If you love apples, guess what? She has a whole WEEK of apple recipes! The recipe for Kristen's Toffee Apple Dip looks awesome.

In case apples aren't your thing, she also has a ton of great handmade gift ideas. I'm seeing a set of these face plates in my future!

Edit: I'm having trouble with mushy/broken off pretzel rods within minutes after inserting them, so traditional sticks might be necessary. : (
