Made this yummy & healthy sandwich the other day. Sooo good! It is from a blog called keepitskinny.wordpress.com, I will post the recipe here because I hate going from site to site looking for the recipes.
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
1 tomato, chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
squeeze of lime juice
2 TBLS chopped fresh basil or cilantro
salt and pepper, to taste
4 slices of whole grain bread (but would also be great on tortillas)
1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
2-4 slices of pepper jack cheese (I grated mine, it gives you the flavor with out using as much cheese)
Chive Spread:
1/2 cup greek yogurt
2 TBLS finely chopped chives
salt & pepper to taste
In a small bowl mix yogurt, chives, salt & pepper. Then set aside.
In a medium bowl, gently toss, avocado, tomato, cucumber, lime juice & basil. Season with salt & pepper then set aside.
Spread the yogurt and chive mixture on your bread. ( I lightly toasted mine) then put cheese on one side of your bread top with avocado mixture then top with sprouts and other slice of bread. So yummy!
As you can see when closed it looks like a book. Then you open it and it holds my e-reader.
I got an old book from the DI (for $2) and then cut the pages out. I found some reversible quilted fabric at the store. You only need about a 1/4 of a yard. Did a little sewing, but you could do it with fusible tape, and then got out the glue gun. (My second favorite tool!) I saw the idea on pinterest and just made it to fit what I wanted. So... cute cover and it only cost about $4.50 total.

This is the bracelet that my dear friend saw and wanted me to make for her. The picture above is the Anthropology version and below is what I came up with. (She wanted hers to be pink, btw). So far the vote is even and I just don't know what to do. My husband laughing didn't help.
Well not actually done, I did need to decorate the rest of the box. But just used paper, ribbon, and mod podge.
So other than the $3 box and a little bit of time it didn't cost anything to make. I honestly can't wait to make another paper doll, just need to find something to put her on. :)

She didn't like the bright flash!
My new little decoration. I figure it can be used for fall, halloween & Thanksgiving. I saw it on Pintrest, from a website called creationsbykara.com. It was super easy and cheap! This is a $2 frame , a half a sheet of 12X12 scrapbook paper & a small fake pumpkin that I got 50% off at Michaels. You cut the back 1/3 off the pumkin and glue it to your scrapbook paper that has been cut to fit your frame. After it dried I added a little bit of distressing ink, a bow (which is hard to see because I am not the best photographer) and a couple of coils of floral wire. And it was done. Fun, cute & easy.
