Fall Big KitchenAid Giveaway!

With holiday baking and cooking coming up, having good quality supplies in your kitchen is a must! I'm happy to bring you this giveaway for a KitchenAid mixer, along with other baking supplies that you will love!

Fall Big KitchenAid Prize Pack Giveaway

I bought my KitchenAid mixer years ago with money we received for our wedding. The first two years we lived in tiny apartments so I didn't unpack my mixer. While mixing cookies by hand did give my arms nice definition, it wasn't very fun. I finally unpacked my KitchenAid when we moved to our first house. It made baking so much easier. I even learned how to make the smoothest mashed potatoes using my KitchenAid!

Christmas cookie time is coming up and I always use my mixer for those. Snickerdoodles and Thumbprint cookies are our two favorite recipes. My girls love the maraschino cherries that go in the middle of the Thumbprint cookies and Santa loves the Snickerdoodle ones. The dough has to chill in the refrigerator, so I'm glad that I learned to make mixing bowl covers this year.

So, for all your fall baking and cooking needs, this KitcheAid mixer and other prizes will help make the holidays so much easier...and stylish.

I'm glad to be joining up with some awesome bloggers to bring you this wonderful giveaway. Special thanks go to Angie from My So-Called Chaos for hosting these superb giveaways every month.

Deseret Industries - Changing Lives One Sale at a Time

When we visit thrift stores, we usually only think about the freed space in our homes from the donations that we dropped off or the great deals we scored on our purchase. When I visited the new Deseret Industries store that opens this Thursday, I found out that there is so much more to Deseret Industries.

If you have read my craft tutorials you will notice that I mention often that I buy my crafting supplies from thrift stores and I do makeovers to the items. Deseret Industries is the thrift store that I shop at most often because of the price and selection of items.

When I was invited with a group of local bloggers to tour the new store that opens this Thursday October 27th, I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the items that would be for sale. When I left the store I was excited about the great treasures I saw, but the lasting impression I took away from the afternoon was the stories about employees who had their lives changed through working for the company.

Tape Art or Tape-ography

Have you heard of Tape Art or Tape-ography? It's the new and fascinating art of creating with different kinds and colors of tape.

You may have seen many different washi tape crafts (see my Pinterest board for some crafty ideas), or flowers and wallets that people make out of duct tape. Tape art is very different than that.

Over the summer I visited the Provo Library for an author event. After the event was over, I stopped into the Anderson Gallery that the library has on the second floor. I was intrigued by the tape art (tape-ography) displayed that was created by Chad Farnes.

Fun With Kids In the Kitchen - Decorating Waffles

Are your kids tired of the same old boring breakfast routine? Make breakfast time a little more fun when you put out waffle decorating ingredients. Kids will have fun in the kitchen when they decorate their own waffle, while having a good breakfast at the same time.

We have cold cereal most days of the week, but sometimes it's nice for the kids to have something different and extra tasty for a change. The day we had these, my kids were super excited to make their own breakfast. I liked them adding fresh fruit to their waffles to make it a bit healthier. They ended up loving their red, white, and blue breakfast.

Make Your Own Fall Sign

A few weeks ago I started to decorate for fall outside and this week I decided to concentrate on bringing a little fall happiness into our home. I started with this DIY fall sign, With just a few supplies, you can make a fall sign for your own home.

This sign is a nice central piece for fall decorations. After making my sign, I added a few more pieces to complete my fall mantle decor. The nice part about the sign is that it didn't take long to make. Within 30 minutes, I had a fall sign I made myself.
