Wed. craft projects and a REALLY bad dinner

Well folks the week is passing by quickly!!  I hope you are enjoying it and aren't too cold.  It feels like January here in Texas but we don't have snow so I think lots of you are waaaaay colder than we are.
Anyway dream of warmer temps and longer days and this January shall pass soon enough.

So yesterday I was inspired by some things I saw in catalogs so I went to Michaels and the dollar tree to see what I could find.  Found several things at the first stop...no suprise there!!  However the dollar store was quite disappointing.  I usually find all sorts of things there but found nothing yesterday.  I shall press on to the Hobby of Lobby tomorrow and see what I can conjure up there.  :0)

I've been loving all the subway art I'm seeing all over the bloggity blog world. And so many wonderful creators are willing to share their downloads for free.   Since my house still feels a little barren after the holidays I thought I might try out a few.  First up was a spiritual printable.  I found this little lovely over at a sweetie new blog I'm checking out called Fussy Monkey Business.  She is a delight and I loved this subway art even though it matched nothing in my house color wise. However my soul needed this so I found a spot for it.
Here is my take on her printable

I think the frame was on sale for $4 at Michaels yesterday soooooooo I found this spot for it to hang

Yes my sweets....it is my laundry room!!!  The door to the garage is on the left side of the photo and you guessed it, we pretty much come and go through this area.  And just because I want you to know how much I love ya I'm gonna show you the whole mess of the room.

As we can see I have towels that need to go upstairs to the girls bathroom and the beautiful beach towel on top of the dryer is for the sweet puddy tat Lilli.  Her food and water are up there so the very hungry Kiss dog can't eat them!   The rest is just laundry room mess......what can I say.  I thought this might be a good place to put those reminders.  I can see them when I walk in the room, as I'm walking out to the garage and as I am doing laundry.  Should be a great reminder for me every day.  If you would like to print your own copy just head right over to her SITE and print yourself one and while you are there browse around.  She's got some cutie patootie stuff going on over there.

Now, a little Valentines Day printable is in order.  Once again I picked the frame up on sale at Michaels for like $3.   Just printed this puppy out and then added a few little felt flowers to jazz it up. This one came from another blogger and her name is Becky Higgins (just click her name and it should pop you over to the link)  and I've also added her to my google reader feed.  That little jobber is filling up but I love all the creative people in the world who want to share their talents!!   This is what we started with...

The "love one another" was the printable and I chose to print mine in the 5x7 size.  She has 4 sizes to pick from and two color choices!!   Free and choices... how awesome is she??!!!!   I loved the little printable and once I got it in the frame it felt lonely so I added those red felt flower stickers to the glass. They will pluck right off when I'm ready to fill that frame with another little goody, probably something for St. Paddy's day would be my guess.   It's just in the formal living room hanging out so sweetly.

That red candy dish is still holding onto some Christmas chocolates but hey...they still work for Valentines Day too!   I found more craft inspirations today while having my sandwich that I hope to share with you soon and  hopefully I'll find the remaining pieces to finish my other Valentine craft idea. 

Onto dinner....and I must apologize. Really please forgive me

yes, I had a Happy Meal for dinner.  It was late when we left for the club, then we went to Sprouts (it was Wednesday you know!). By the time we left the store it was really late and I was really hungry because I did 1/2 hr on the elliptical at home yesterday then 1/2 hr on the treadmill at the club plus all my running around shopping for craft supplies and tidying up the house and grocery shopping.  A girl gets hungry you know!

So I begged the hubster (who HATES McD's) to stop and get me a happy meal.  I remember from my weight watcher stint that a hamburger happy meal is a pretty decent choice in a pinch.  It was actually pretty tasty...burger and fries were both hot and I got a little pony. hee hee   It's the little things peeps, the little things.  I wish I could promise you so much more for tonight but hubster got a crown this morning so it may be soup this evening.  

So tell me....what's your "if I have to eat fast food" choice?  What do you usually grab that isn't a bazillion calories and doesn't make you feel too guilty when you just have to eat on the run?  eh, it happens every once in awhile and in my book...that's ok 'cuz sometimes everything else is more important and if you are lucky you even get a toy!

Peace, Love and Yummies!!!

p.s.  How do you like my new signature?  I think it is too swa-eat!!!





Sandwiches, chips and a shake

It's hump ditty hump hump day!!! Wow is anyone else blown away by how fast January is going by???? Crazy I tell ya just crazy!!!

Well last night we skipped the club again....yea I know but don't bunch up yer drawers we are going tonight fo sho!! I'm already ready just waiting on the hubster to get home from work. I actually did 30 minutes of yoga yesterday on the Wii and then 30 minutes on the elliptical today so I'm doing ok, right???? So tell me this why on earth when you are trying on workout clothes do you feel like you need to workout more just to look ok enough so that people don't say "geez if she is gonna wear the workout clothes then she should actually workout!". I thought shopping for bathing suits was rough.

So let's talk about dinner and the hubsters nasty habit of eating two lunches or eating lunch so late that he's not hungry when he gets home as was the case yesterday. He also thought he was getting sick because his tummy didn't feel so great but turns out....he was hungry after all and after he ate he felt much better. So we topped off the evening watching his show V and then another episode of Deadwood on DVD. I swear Calamity Jane is hysterical on that show!!!

Back to dinner...didn't have anything planned so this was spur of the moment kind of dinner.
First up I'll show you a pic of all the things I drug out






You can see I started assembling the sandwiches. There is Boarshead roasted turkey meat, jalapeño olive relish, some diced up tomatoes (leftover from pizza the other night), spring greens lettuce already on the bottom slice of that good ole Iron Kids bread.





Then I added some cooked bacon and a little bit of shredded cheese.






I slapped on another piece of bread and into this delightful contraption that has been around forever






The Super Snacker....we all love it!!! I just closed the lid and wandered around for a bit and stopped in my front hall to snap this pic







That's a big ole full moon shining through those high windows. I thought it was cool! Time to wander back to the kitchen and open up the Snacker!







See aren't they awesome looking!!!! No butter was harmed in tonights dinner. Just a little cooking spray on the SS and they pop right out.






Add a pickle and some chips and dinner is served.....oh wait I forgot







The ketchup!!! Must have ketchup on chips...what you say??? Uh helllooooo you eat ketchup on fries don't you??? Well chips and fries are virtually the same thing just sliced different!!! Try it I promise you will love it!

So later I decided hubster needed a treat so I got this out






And put it in here




And made this yummy treat




And took it to him in his office where I thought he was doing some work. Turns out he was playing some football game on the computer!!

Anyway, what kind of fun things do you whip up for dinner at the last minute??

Hopefully that's the man coming in so we can get to the gym, its really crowded since New Years. Gggrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Peace, Love and Yummies my friends!!!
