This weeks menu 9/25/11

Pin It
I haven't posted my menu lately but managed to get it together earlier today so here you go....
Beef Stroganoff
Chicken and Rice Soup
Turkey Roast
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Homemade Pizza
Several of these have been on my menu but for whatever reason get bumped so they are back on for this week. Hopefully that will save some on the groceries since I know I already have the stuff.
I am hoping to do some baking this week and try some more yummy fall recipes. Anyone have some suggestions of their favs? There are so many to choose from!!

Spicing up the bathtub

Pin It
Small touches with big impact....
A plan bathtub....
Made inviting. 
I found the center of my swag and tied it around the rod.
Then I let it drape just right and tied it around the ends. It took a couple of tries but I loved the way it hung down without hanging into the tub.
Add the vase and towel rack I had and
VOILA!
A place to enjoy and relax....

A girls room decor....

Pin It
I finally managed to get some good pictures of my friends daughters room. From plain to fab!
Madi loves her room. It is bright, cheery and perfect for a young lady! We added the wall color, chair, nightstand, lamp, wall art, and curtains.
It turned out great!

The "T" Wall

Pin It
I wanted to make a wall of T's from all sorts of materials. Anything that Mr. Tyler plays with became fair game. Rocks, legos, and sticks were some of the first things that came to mind.
Each time I went into a store that had monograms I grabbed one. I wanted all different fonts and sizes. When I had several I just started creating....
This was the first monogram I made. At the time I didn't plan on a T wall but now it just goes right along with the others.
  A black T with letter beads down the side.....
Rocks and little boys just go hand in hand. How many times have I found rocks in the laundry? Or, "look at this COOL rock mom?" (I'm thinking of putting a frame around this one, it just looks unfinished)
This was one of my favorite letters. It's a bunch of washers glued together.
Moss and rocks wrapped around a wooden letter....
Lego's are a staple around our house. It only made sense that they be part of the wall. I let the boys come up with the design. I picked out the blocks I thought would work and told them to build me a T. Mr Ty added his lego guy.
Blue glass rocks....
Different fonts just painted blue- his favorite color.
Tyler loves his "T" wall. I have a couple of other ideas. I need to make a trip up the canyon for some twigs.
And, I keep wondering about something from the Home Depot. Surely there is something in the pipe section that can be worked into a T.....
I will share any others I add but for now I wanted to share what we have to far. All hung up with Command hook stickies (can you tell I love these things? and no one paid me to say that!)

Fun Coat hooks...

Pin It
I found some small railroad nails in a box of junk at the DI. I was thrilled but my dear friend thought I had a few loose nuts. She just stood back and smiled while I dug through "junk".
I hoped to find a 4th and use them in my bathroom as towel hooks but could not find another. I checked a couple of army surplus stores and still came up short, so on to plan B.
I picked up some square blocks and stars from Michaels.
Painted them, sanded the edges, and added the stars. I used black paint to dry brush the sides for an aged look.
I couldn't decide where to put them so I put them up with Command hook stickies. They are strong enough to hold the coats and backpacks but they are great for giving me an idea if a spot will work before I pound holes in my walls.
I think this spot works well, just behind the front door....
What do you think?
