a PB knockoff... and a strange dinner

Hi deee hoooo peeps!!

This is a modpodge of a blogpost.  I'm just warning you now so you won't be asking yourself later "does she need to be treated for ADHD?"     I just have so many little things I need to share.

First up I wanted these

yep they are from the P of B and I loved them....except they are $79 freakin' dollars and they are live....which means I pay big bucks for something that is gonna die.  I think NOT so I did this!


I know...mine's not as cool as PB's but you know mine only cost me about 6 bucks so I can live with it.



These are the first roses of the year out of my little rosebed.  They make me smile.



This is my little Lilli...we have birds on our back porch and she was glued to the doorway just watching them carefully. Ohhhh, don't worry about the birds, she's afraid of everything and never ventured out towards them at all.



This is cauliflower.



This is a packet of spicy ranch dressing mix.



This is cauliflower covered in olive oil and the dressing mix sprinkled on top. 
It went into a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes



This is asparagus--olive oiled up and some salt & pepper.
It went to the grill.



This is dinner. Yep, we had asparagus and cauliflower for dinner.  Weird, maybe...good, yes!



This is my new butcher block island for my kitchen.  We got it at the auction.  I've missed my kitchen island so very much since I moved into this house so this is a nice addition.  It doesn't take up much room, I can chop on it and it is close to the refrigerator so it's a handy spot to rest things.   I'm not sure if I'm leaving it the way it is or if I'm painting the bottom....what do you think??
Leave it, paint it black, paint cream color???


Peace, Love and Yummies!!

Anthro Necklace Knockoff

Ok...since you are probably gonna ask...this is what I had for dinner


yeah yeah....sue me!  :0)
Hubster was off to deliver the prom dress to our youngest and take her out for dinner so I was home alone and I decided this is what I wanted.  Eh, forget about it!

BTW....that's my son's bowl!!

Now, food outta the way...let's talk jewelry!!!  So a few weeks ago over on Flamingo Toes
she was doing some Anthro Necklace knock offs as tutorials.  Well I just flat out fell in love with the collage one but did NOT fall in love with the Anthro price...$298 !!!!!!!
Lawzy me if I'm paying almost three hundred dollars for jewelry it better be real!!!


Anyway, by taking the Flamingo Toes way out....I was only out about $50.  MUCH better and yes still a little high and would have been cheaper if I had waited until the charms were on sale at Michaels. I didn't I was in a hurry and LL and I have been dying to make these for a few weeks!!!  And then it would have probably been around $25 dollars to make so hey...jewelry on sale at the michaels next time I just may make another in a silvertone color!

Anyway....Here's mine!!!






I'm more than a little tickled over this little number!!!   Although once again...we forgot to get a picture of LL's!!!   We'll just have to get a photo sometime when she's wearing it!  

That's all I gots for you today my peeps!!   We are having a "working weekend" this Saturday for hubster and I have to get the fridge emptied because I'm making dinner for about 12 on Saturday night and I need the room!  

Enjoy the day and remember..... Peace, Love & Yummies
