So I stumbled upon this new website the other day and Im officially hooked. Shade Tree Films makes videos for special occasions, and WOW do they do a great job!! The editing is fabulous. All the angles, music, the story…all I can say is the best work I have ever seen. Check out their wedding stories, I’m sure you will love them!
Thanks for the great work Shade Tree Films.
In honor of one of my bestest friends, Jessica, moving to Canada, the Canadian Tenors are giving away a free download. Ok… so maybe not… but they are giving away a free download. Head over to the Canadian Tenors website for a free download of their new song “Always There”. I was just introduced to this group and I haven’t heard much of their stuff but they’re not bad. They are in the same genre as Josh Groban and Il Divo so if you like that type of music, click here for a free download.
Enjoy the free music! and Jessica… Thanks for being a friend that is Always there for me. I really miss you!
Well I just received an invitation for a baby shower being thrown by some church ladies for our assistants pastors wife. I absolutely love baby showers as we all oohh and awww over all the cute little outfits. I also love the fellowship that comes along with it. I love being able to forget about school work for awhile and just talk with some ladies. The only problem is the hubby and I are trying to save as much money as we can to move to California in June/July, so the budget is pretty small. During my explorations of blogging world I have come across some super cute baby shower gifts that I am going to attempt. But instead of spending $20 – $50…I’m going to attempt to do it with $5-$8. I am headed out to town tonight, so we will see what I come up with! I will post the final gift sometime next week with a breakdown of what the cost was.
Here are a few of my inspiration ideas.
I love the idea of wrapping the gift in something that can be used later (ex: baskets, wagons, plastic containers). If you have any creative gift ideas, send me a link and I would love to feature you!
Have a great weekend!
So over the last 2 weeks of Goodwill shopping, I have hit the jackpot! I have found 3 Scrabble games for only $1.99 each!!! You might be thinking… what in the world are you going to do with 3 Scrabble games? Well I will show you.
I want to make one of these:
I found this over at Room to Inspire and fell in love with the idea of framing scrabble pieces.
But this is what is what I am really looking forward to making…
How much fun would this be to have in your house! I will probably wait till we finish moving to California before I get on this project, but I will definitely keep you updated when I get started on it. Head on over to The Twice Remembered Cottage for complete details on how to make this beauty!
Do you have any creative ideas to do with Scrabble pieces? Send me pictures or a link and I would love to feature it.
I found this project over at Mads Memories and absolutely fell in love with it!
You take an ordinary game of Guess Who (which…who doesn’t love!) and you customize it with pictures of friends and family!
How cute is this idea! Do you have any customized games? Send me a link and I would love to post it!
I found this message board over at A Little Moore. She made it for a $5 Dollar Store Challenge. That’s right… a fabulous project for under $5!!!
She made it with a poster frame and clip boards along with a few items she had on hand. Check out here for more details! 
What a great, easy, and cheap project! Do you have any fun projects from Dollar Store items? Send me a link and I would love to feature them!
I have just found a recipe that made it onto my husband’s favorite list. Bacon Stuffed Burgers! I found the original recipe here, but made a few of my own adjustments.
Ingredients Needed:
3 Slices of Bacon
1/8 to 1/4 Cup of Chopped Onion
1/2 to 1 Can {4ounces} of Mushroom Pieces, drained and chop to your liking
1 Pound of Lean Ground Beef
1/8 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
1/8 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
4Hamburger Rolls
Condiments {optional}
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and sauté onions and garlic *optional* in 2 Tablespoons of the bacon dripping. Once tender mix in crumbled bacon and set aside.
Combine the beef, Parmesan cheese, pepper, garlic powder in a large bowl. I find it easier to just dig in with my hands and start stirring. Shape the meat into patties. Divide the bacon mixture and top on half the meat patties. Place the other half of meat patties and pinch the sides closed.
Grill over medium heat until well done. I used my George Forman grill on high for about 5 minutes. I served mine on those low calories whole wheat buns and of course you can’t forget a slice of cheese! This recipe made us 3 stuffed burgers. Yummy!
