Luck frames

Remember these? I decided to make some for St. Patricks Day since decor for this home is lacking for that holiday and the fact that I had a ton of decor marbles that I didn't know what to do with!

You need rainbows in there somewhere right?

Do you all decorate for EVERY holiday?

Linkin up all over...

Italian Cream Cheese Chicken

On the Menu Monday

Italian Cream Cheese Chicken

4-6 boneless skinless chicken (cut into small bite size pieces)
1 8oz bar of cream cheese
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1 pkg zesty Italian dressing

Place your cans of soup in your crock pot. The next thing I do is take the cream cheese and break it into pieces and mix that with the soup. Place the cut up chicken on top of the soup and sprinkle the seasoning packet over the chicken. Stir it all together and cook on low for 6 hours. When it is done spoon over pasta or rice......both are yummmmmmm! This is my oldest daughters absolute fav and it's about as easy as you can get!

Old Navy Weekly

Is anybody out there familiar with Old Navy Weekly? If not, let me explain. Every week old navy places these fun ads where you actually have to find the coupons online. Right now the ad is making an outfit. You combine the shirts with different pants and such and a coupon will pop up! Last week they had a chick run across the screen and if you clicked on him it was $50 off your $100 purchase! Holy money saved! They only give a certain amount of coupons out so make sure your on top of it. I will post every week when the ad is renewed and the "hints" to find your coupons!

How does that sound? For this week Feb 18th:

15% off – click blue tank top, then the jeans beneath it. Then click on Amy’s face.

$10 off $50 – click yellow shirt and rolled up jeans

$15 off $75 – click yellow shirt with right jeans, wait for stars above Kelly on right and then click on them

10% off – Click Blue tank with jeans on the left (there are multiple locations for this one)

$5 off $25 -Click the red striped shirt, then then skinny jeans, then click shirt, then click the big picture of Eva. If that doesn’t work, try: click red striped shirt then skinny jeans , then click the model’s face in the circle (Eva) after clicking the shirt & jeans. (this one seems to keep changing, good luck!)

$50 off $100 (GONE)- click the face on the left, then the face on the right

Looks like the Luck Blocks get to stay with me!

Project lamp shade

I have to admit, I have a slight obsession with lamps. K, there, I said it. No it's not purses or even shoes, lamps? Is that weird? These next few photos are not my lamps, but I wish some of them were.

this one is made with pretty felt (yes felt) branch looking things. I like it.



Simple paper and a touch of ribbon!



These are from Pottery Barn. It would be so easy to make your own. I would be terrified to mess up though! I did see a fellow bloggers post on her own homemade calligraphy lamp shade, but I can't find her now.....if anyone knows, please let me know!



Simple and classic monogram.



Stencils or self adhesive pretty thingys (that word should be in Webster's)

So I need to revamp my boring lamp shades. Here's a peek at just a few of mine...







Hummmmm.....it's seems I'm stuck in a rut. Gold, black and browns. BORING! I need help!
Project Lamp Shade coming up!

P.S. The first person to comment on this post will receive the Luck Block Set, since I can't get any of the winners to claim them! Are they ugly? Anyway, I'm putting comment moderation on this post to keep the suspense.....I'll post the comments tonight!

Happy Monday! and a new winner!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day! Can you believe the month is half gone?

So, a few things to talk about here. First, are any of you fellow bloggers out there having this problem. Every time I hit enter while writing posts it automatically double spaces my lines! Arrrrggghhh! It is beyond frustrating! I've tried everything, so if anyone has any suggestions I would LOVE the help!

Now on to the next item of business.
The winner of the Luck block set never contacted me :( so I needed to pick a new winner. And that winner is...

Staci of Craftify It! She said,

"I have seen a variety of the pendant necklaces, but yours have unique characteristics that I just LOVE & have never seen before! The LUCK blocks are ADORABLE!!!
I'm also a new follower! I love finding fun new blogs!"

Thanks Staci! Email me your address and I will get these out to you pronto!

Ok and finally....lately I have been really into finding and trying new and yummy recipes and trying to expand my families cookbook. Well I found this fabulous recipe over at Little Birdie Secrets (their button is on the left sidebar...so check em out) and it is super healthy, easy and delicious!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

2 Chicken Breasts, diced
Cook in a skillet with a little bit of oil.

When the chicken is done add the following:
1/4 c green onions dices
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
2-3 Tbsp soy sauce
cilantro to taste

Stir in and cook for a few more minutes. When done place in lettuce and serve with peanut sauce.







Let me know if you try it and what you think! Makes a great lunch or for dinner serve it over some rice....Ahhhh.

So how about this....every Monday plan on a new recipe post from me! I'll try it, or try it on my family (hehehe) and if it passes the "Keep It or Delete It" vote, I'll post about it! Maybe I can help a little bit on building your recipe files!
