Mine turned out slightly different but still works like a charm.

Last Minute Halloween Bag

Wow!!

Halloween sure did sneak up on me! 

I knew it was coming. 

I had the kids costumes already picked out and pumpkins already bought. And in my adventures of unpacking I even managed to find the girls Halloween bags that I made for them last year. 

Of course that was 2 weeks ago and didn't want them cluttering up the house at the time so I shoved them back in the box and decided to wait till Halloween was a little closer. As the days went on I kept thinking I should probably get them out before they got lost in the masses of boxes but in the end I decided to put it off for another day. 

Yesterday morning after a short text message conversation with my sister, the decision was made to check out a local Trunk-or-Treat last night. I was thankful that I still knew around-a-bout which box contained the Halloween bags. I headed out to the garage and managed to find them in the second box I opened. But I was not too excited when I pulled out these.

Baked Frito Pie

My family is big on tacos. Seriously!! Even my picky little eaters gobble them down like candy. It's probably the only food that I know they will eat time and time again. But as much as I love taco night, the best part is mixing the leftovers with Fritos and having some good ol' frito pie for lunch the next day. So obviously I was overjoyed when I found this recipe for some amazing baked frito pie. I made a few changes to the original recipe and I love it.

Canvas Painting and Wire Name

I wanted to share this fun wall decoration that I made for my daughters room. Unfortunately, this was one of those spur-of-the-moment projects, and I didn't think to take photos during the process. In all honesty, this was my first time painting on a stretched canvas, and my first time using acrylics so I wasn't to sure that it would even turn out. However, I'm quite happy with the results and my daughter absolutely loves it so I will do my best to explain how I did it.
